I would like to exclude the possibility that this problem might be some other component of Linux Mint (like blueman) affecting the profile selection. To do that, please boot Ubuntu 18.04 (which contains exactly the same version of pulseaudio) and tell us if the problem still occurs there:

After the initial connection when I disconnect the headphones and reconnect them later on when I view the headphones with the blueman-applet and look at the Audio Profile it shows Off. If I try to play audio I get no sound in the headphones. If I select High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink) most of the time audio will play through the headphones. (Occasionally, the first time I select High Fidelity Playback it doesn't stick and I have to pick it again.) $ lsb_release -rd Description: Linux Mint 19 Tara Release: 19 $ apt-cache policy bluez bluez: Installed: 5.48-0ubuntu3.1 Candidate: 5.48-0ubuntu3.1 Version table: *** 5.48-0ubuntu3.1 500 500 http://pubmirrors.dal.corespace.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 5.48-0ubuntu3 500 500 http://pubmirrors.dal.corespace.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages $ apt-cache policy blueman blueman: Installed: 2.0.5-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.0.5-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2.0.5-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://pubmirrors.dal.corespace.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Feb 5 11:26:52 jbodnar pulseaudio[2226]: [pulseaudio] module-bluez5-device.c: Profile a2dp_sink has no transport Feb 5 11:27:14 jbodnar pulseaudio[2226]: [pulseaudio] module-bluez5-device.c: Refused to switch profile to a2dp_sink: Not connected Feb 5 11:27:22 jbodnar pulseaudio[2226]: [pulseaudio] module-bluez5-device.c: Refused to switch profile to a2dp_sink: Not connected Feb 5 11:27:25 jbodnar org.blueman.Applet[2086]: blueman-manager version 2.0.5 starting Feb 5 11:27:25 jbodnar org.blueman.Applet[2086]: card Feb 5 11:27:25 jbodnar org.blueman.Applet[2086]: change Feb 5 11:27:25 jbodnar org.blueman.Applet[2086]: card Feb 5 11:27:25 jbodnar org.blueman.Applet[2086]: change Feb 5 11:27:25 jbodnar org.blueman.Applet[2086]: card Feb 5 11:27:25 jbodnar org.blueman.Applet[2086]: remove Feb 5 11:27:25 jbodnar org.blueman.Applet[2086]: card Feb 5 11:27:25 jbodnar org.blueman.Applet[2086]: add Feb 5 11:27:31 jbodnar blueman-applet[25681]: gdk_window_get_origin: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed Feb 5 11:27:31 jbodnar kernel: [1121873.865918] input: 70:26:05:87:D1:64 as /devices/virtual/input/input44 Feb 5 11:27:44 jbodnar bluetoothd[889]: /org/bluez/hci0/dev_70_26_05_87_D1_64/fd15: fd(37) ready Feb 5 11:27:44 jbodnar rtkit-daemon[2229]: Supervising 3 threads of 1 processes of 1 users.
