most likely you need to connect with the appropriate profile. I forgot already how the gnome gui looked like for it, but there was a pop up menu where you can select sink or source for the audio. I also think it is a shame - bluez5 seems to be much better etc. etc., but unfortunately works worse with pulse audio :( I don't use iPhone but doesn't matter - same problem, so what I do is to choose the audio profile for source and connect the phone. Might be the phone can also tell which profile to use. You can try this in bluetoothctl. "0000110a-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb" => "A2DP Source" "0000110b-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb" => "A2DP Sink" I am not sure if the following works, cause no one knows what happens in the background, but I tried it and it plays fine here. [bluetooth]# menu advertise Menu advertise: Available commands: ------------------- uuids [uuid1 uuid2 ...] Set/Get advertise uuids service [uuid] [data=xx xx ...] Set/Get advertise service [...] export Print evironment variables [bluetooth]# service 0000110b-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb then connect from the phone the PC Let me know if it works - just curious - I spent many days with Bluetooth last year :) bringing BT manager for TDE back to life and buteo-syncml on the Sailfish. As for the command related to PA https://askubuntu.com/questions/765233/pulseaudio-fails-to-set-card-profile-to-a2dp-sink-how-can-i-see-the-logs-and pactl load-module module-loopback source=bluez_source.xx_xx_xx_xx_xx_xx.a2dp_source sink=alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo Last but not least, remove the directory and cookie ~/.pulse* and reboot or restart PA.
