I've the same or similar issue with 16.04, When i turn on my Headset and connect via Bluetooth, it starts with different Profiles depending on the previous status:
If I've previously used A2DP it will starts with off If I've used HSP or switched back to it before turning the headset off, it starts with HSP Workaround: If It starts with Off, i can't select A2DP it always jumps back, but if I select HSP manually, turn the Headset off and on again it will now start with Profile HSP and I'm now able to select A2DP, if I switch back to the HSP Profile, before turning my Headset off / disconnecting it, it will also work the next start, if I stay on the A2DP Profile before turning off / disconnecting, I've to redo the Workaround steps from beginning. It looks like the driver (or whatever) can't handle to start with A2DP Profile. It was really painfull until I've read about the workaround in another forum, it is still annoying but at least i don't need to restart any services or make a reboot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1283003 Title: [Bluetooth + 14.04] Bluetooth headsets are not working after last couple of updates Status in Blueman: New Status in blueman package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-bluetooth package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, I found a bug in Ubuntu 14.04 ! I tried to pair a bluetooth stereo headset (A2DP compatible). The pairing process goes well, but after that I can't select it on the audio preferences. When I select it, it only shows the last selected item options and don't do anything. (he should switch to the headset output). I must mention that it worked very well on Ubuntu 12.04. This bug can be in the bluetooth stack or in unity-control-center or maybe pulseaudio. I actually have no idea.
