So, I switched back to the original package: $ apt policy pulseaudio-module-bluetooth pulseaudio-module-bluetooth: Installed: 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu10 Candidate: 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu10 Version table: *** 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu10 500 500 http://pl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu groovy/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Then I deleted the device from BlueZ: $ bluetootctl [bluetooth]# devices ... Device 94:DB:56:52:BC:64 WH-1000XM4 [bluetooth]# remove 94:DB:56:52:BC:64 [DEL] Device 94:DB:56:52:BC:64 WH-1000XM4 Device has been removed Afterwards I have removed user-wide PulseAudio configuration (actually moved it to a different location): mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/pulse.b4 And restarted the OS. Then I had to pair the headphones anew. So I did that using bluetoothctl: [bluetooth]# scan on Discovery started [bluetooth]# devices ... Device 94:DB:56:52:BC:64 WH-1000XM4 ... [bluetooth]# pair 94:DB:56:52:BC:64 Attempting to pair with 94:DB:56:52:BC:64 [CHG] Device 94:DB:56:52:BC:64 Connected: yes [WH-1000XM4]# And the problem was still there :( I re-did the steps above using the Plasma applet, but same result. Additional note: bluetoothctl by itself is not a workaround. The thing that helps, is restarting bluetooth.service (sudo systemctl restart bluetooth.service). I just used bluetoothctl to illustrate my actions, I can also connect using Plasma applet (and it works exactly the same as bluetoothctl: they both use DBus API for Bluez). I guess Gnome Control Center also uses DBus to contact Bluez -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1891648 Title: [0cf3:e301 Qualcomm Atheros]Cannot switch to A2DP profile w/o restarting bluetooth.service [pulseaudio: Refused to switch profile to a2dp_sink: Not connected] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1891648/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
