Package: bluetooth Version: 5.50-1 Followup-For: Bug #911794 Hi,
I had this too, with my laptop and bluetooth headset. Then I found https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/407447/how-to-force-a2dp-sink-when-wireless-bluetooth-headset-is-connected The solution suggested there seems to work; adding "AutoConnect=true" (to connect to all profiles, not just "the first one available", which if it happens to be HFP/HSP is terrible) and "MultiProfile = multiple" (to enable the Multi Profile Specification, which defaults to "off") allows me to select A2DP (and in fact defaults to that for me). It's probably a good idea to change the defaults in the bluetooth package to do so by default...? -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.2 APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, riscv64, armhf Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=nl_BE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nl_BE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=nl_BE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages bluetooth depends on: ii bluez 5.50-1 bluetooth recommends no packages.
