Ubuntu 18.04.1. Jabra Elite Sport v2. Impossible to get A2DP to stick. Have to go through multiple jumps to get it to work. E.g.,
1) Shut down and start bluetooth a few times after suspend or reboot. Sometimes i try to shutdown the Jabra device as well. 2) Then connect to the device, which always fails at minimum 3 times when using the slider for connecting, and then it might add a sound device or not. It takes a long time for this to happen in any situation after successful connect. Often the sound device is not even selected if it is added, which require a second user interaction to solve. However, this step works much better using blueman. I.e., the interface and bluetooth solution in Ubuntu is buggy to say the least. At least a few bugs must exist in the interface solution considered blueman works better. 3) If connection is working and a sound device is added then the A2DP is never selected. Using the Ubuntu drop down menu to change to A2DP is pointless, it will never work, and blueman cant change profile either. Thus going back to step one and and trying again is the only solution. This process takes up to 15 minutes or more to complete. By pure luck, the A2DP setting will stick until next suspend.... These errors have existed for at least 12 months in my case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1724919 Title: Bluetooth headphones only use A2DP when connected manually Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Issue with Sony MDR-1ABT Bluetooth headphones: Once paired, the headphones will be connected automatically whenever they are switched on. However when connected this way, only the HSP/HFP profile will work and trying to change to A2DP in sound settings does nothing. If the headphones are then manually disconnected and reconnected from Bluetooth settings, they will initially use HSP/HFP but then selecting A2DP in sound settings will successfully make them use A2DP.
