Ok, so it seems that whilst a freshly paired set of Bluebuds X defaults to HFP, I am able to switch to A2DP and have it work properly on a freshly installed and updated Xenial, with the pulseaudio package for Xenial in my PPA. Can anybody else confirm, at least with at least an up to date Xenial and pulse from my PPA?
In other news, the fix for *THIS* bug is now in Zesty, and I will be preparing updates for Xenial and Yakkety. The only thing I have to test is whether the previously mentioned patch makes the out of the box experience worth the risk of backporting. -- 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/1574324 Title: pulseaudio crashes when connecting to bluetooth headphones (due to ubuntu changes?)
