@khurshid-alam, the bugs you refer to don't seem to mention switch-on- connect (?)
Also, I have finally stopped using my unreliable USB Bluetooth dongle and set up 17.10 on a laptop again. This feature is now working perfectly (other than on the first boot when it chose the wrong profile, but perfect many times after that). If you have any problems at all then please log a new bug using this command: ubuntu-bug pulseaudio -- 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/1702794 Title: Please add module-switch-on-connect to default.pa Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: This way once a user pairs & connects a bluetooth speaker device pulseaudio will auto switch to it. As it stands now users have to open sound settings & switch manually. It's bad enough that auto discover & connect don't work, (can be scripted thru bluetoothctl), no sense adding to frustration In the ### Automatically load driver modules for Bluetooth hardware section .ifexists module-switch-on-connect.so load-module module-switch-on-connect .endif ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: pulseaudio 1:8.0-0ubuntu3.3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.8.0-56.61~16.04.1-generic 4.8.17 Uname: Linux 4.8.0-56-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.6 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: doug 1843 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: doug 1843 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Jul 6 20:02:15 2017 SourcePackage: pulseaudio UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 09/18/2013 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: 74CN44WW(V3.05) dmi.board.asset.tag: No Asset Tag dmi.board.name: VIQY0Y1 dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: 31900058STD dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Tag dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Lenovo IdeaPad Y510P dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr74CN44WW(V3.05):bd09/18/2013:svnLENOVO:pn20217:pvrLenovoIdeaPadY510P:rvnLENOVO:rnVIQY0Y1:rvr31900058STD:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrLenovoIdeaPadY510P: dmi.product.name: 20217 dmi.product.version: Lenovo IdeaPad Y510P dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO modified.conffile..etc.pulse.default.pa: [modified] mtime.conffile..etc.pulse.default.pa: 2017-07-04T13:42:27.651527 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1702794/+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
