I had the same problem and for several months I have tried all possible solutions I could find to no avail,... until today!
I found the solution in post #17 in the following https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1526534#p1526534 (tnx SimFox3) What I did: # First copy the files I edited sudo cp /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf_tmp sudo cp /etc/pulse/default.pa /etc/pulse/default.pa_tmp sudo cp /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11_tmp #Edit /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf sudo nano /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf This is in my audio.conf # Configuration file for the audio service # This section contains options which are not specific to any # particular interface [General] Enable=Gateway,Source # Switch to master role for incoming connections (defaults to true) Master=true # If we want to disable support for specific services # Defaults to supporting all implemented services #Disable=Gateway,Source,Socket Disable=Socket # SCO routing. Either PCM or HCI (in which case audio is routed to/from ALSA) # Defaults to HCI #SCORouting=HCI # Automatically connect both A2DP and HFP/HSP profiles for incoming # connections. Some headsets that support both profiles will only connect the # other one automatically so the default setting of true is usually a good # idea. AutoConnect=true # Headset interface specific options (i.e. options which affect how the audio # service interacts with remote headset devices) [Headset] # Set to true to support HFP, false means only HSP is supported # Defaults to true HFP=true # Maximum number of connected HSP/HFP devices per adapter. Defaults to 1 MaxConnected=2 # Set to true to enable use of fast connectable mode (faster page scanning) # for HFP when incoming call starts. Default settings are restored after # call is answered or rejected. Page scan interval is much shorter and page # scan type changed to interlaced. Such allows faster connection initiated # by a headset. FastConnectable=true # Just an example of potential config options for the other interfaces #[A2DP] #SBCSources=1 #MPEG12Sources=0 #Edit /etc/pulse/default.pa sudo nano /etc/pulse/default.pa comment out (with an # at the beginning of the line) the following line #load-module module-bluetooth-discover #now edit /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 sudo nano /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 and after the lines if [ x”$SESSION_MANAGER” != x ] ; then /usr/bin/pactl load-module module-x11-xsmp “display=$DISPLAY session_manager=$SESSION_MANAGER” > /dev/null fi add the following /usr/bin/pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover #Restarted and I was finally able tot switch to A2DP Hope it works for you too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1438510 Title: [REGRESSION] bluetooth headset no longer supports a2dp To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1438510/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
