Updated procedure for comment #35, allowing to install more easily Debian Testinf pulseaudio package on Ubunutu 16.04.
1. Stop pulseaudio. Then, backup and purge pulseudio user conf files. 2. Install pulseaudio Debian Testing (June 2016) packages over Ubuntu pulseaudio packages. This will appear as a kind of downgrade. See get-pulseaudio8-debian-amd64.sh script. If you use pulseaudio-module-x11 too, use the corresponding Debian Testing version too to satisfy dependencies. 3. Restart. 4. A2DP profile should now work as expected with the default BlueZ, pulseaudio configuration. Use pavucontrol to select A2DP profile if needed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1438510 Title: [REGRESSION] bluetooth headset no longer supports a2dp Status in PulseAudio: Unknown Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in bluez source package in Vivid: Won't Fix Status in pulseaudio source package in Vivid: Won't Fix Bug description: Just installed 15.04 fresh from the latest ISO (beta2). I'm bummed to see my bluetooth headset (Bose Soundlink overear) seems to have regressed in functionality. In 14.10, I was able to set the output profile either to a2dp or hsp/hfp (telephony duplex). In 15.04, it only works in telephony duplex mode. I can't get high fidelity sound playback to work at all.
