Hi all: I have exactly the same problem as everyone, and tried everything commented here without success. But I found a way of doing it work, which maybe helps to fix the error:
* Paired my headset, but didn't set it as trusted. Restarted the bluetooth service (did this only once, not every time I want to connect your headset; is just to set it in a know state). * Now, every time I want to use the headset, I turn it on. Bluetooth icon in gnome will briefly show as connected, but returns to disconnected (because it detected the paired device, but, as it is not a trusted one, will no connect automatically to it). * Wait about ten seconds until I hear a little "pop" in my headset (I suspect it is when, after waiting a connection, it puts in some kind of sleep mode to save battery) * Now I can go to the bluetooth icon and set A2DP mode, and everything works fine. If I try to connect it before that status change, the headset will stuck in HSP/HFP mode and will refuse to change to A2DP mode. But there is a case when this fails: sometimes, when turning on the headset, Gnome shell shows a popup and asks me if I want to accept the connection. In that case, no matter if I accept or deny it, waiting to hear the "pop" doesn't work: it will also remain stuck in HSP/HFP mode. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1181106 Title: Failed to change profile to A2DP in 13.04 (Raring), 13.10 (saucy), and 14.04 (trusty) Status in Bluez Utilities: New Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: I upgraded to 13.04 recently and my A2DP profile, which had been working great under 12.10 is suddenly gone. Neither my blueman applet nor the built-in bluetooth manager applet can connect my external bluetooth speaker to the A2DP profile. They can connect to the bluetooth device itself just fine. Steps I'm using: * using blueman, I can connect to the external bluetooth speaker and view the device in the devices listing * I can connect the device to the Audio sink and I get a message saying it is now connected and will "show in the PulseAudio mixer" * After connecting the external speaker to the audio sink, I can also see the device in the "Play sound through" listing in the Sound system control panel, but the icon has a circle with a line through it. * but if I right-click the device and choose "Audio Profile" from the context menu and try to select "High Fidelity Playback (A2DP)" as the new profile, I get an error message stating "failed to change profile to a2dp" I've already added "Enable=Socket" in /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf, without that I can't pair my headset. Now I can pair it, but I can't activate the A2DP profile. When I try to activate it, I see this message in my syslog : pulseaudio[2603]: [pulseaudio] module-bluetooth-device.c: Profile has no transport I tried the kernel 3.9.0 because of a sound problem with my soundcard, this kernel fixed my soundcard problem, but A2DP still doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bluez/+bug/1181106/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
