This bug is affecting me as well on Ubuntu 12.04 (64 bit). I connect to a Logitech Wireless Speaker Adapter (http://www.logitech.com/en- roeu/product/wireless-speaker-adapter?crid=47) via bluetooth so to stream my audio to the speaker connected to the Logitech device. The audio switches over to the bluetooth connected speakers just fine, but the 'Output' in 'Sound Settings' doesn't as it still selects the standard 'Speakers' of my laptop instead of the '(8D) Logitech Adapter'. The results is that the volume controls on my keyboard still affect the internal laptop speakers (accompanied with the Ubuntu 'increase/decrease volume' *plop* sounds coming out of my laptop speakers) instead of the audio coming out of my bluetooth connected speakers. Every time I connect the bluetooth speakers I have to go to 'Sound Settings' and select '(8D) Logitech Adapter' as output so the volume controls affect it (the situation just after connecting to the bluetooth device is shown in the attached screenshot). As suggested by the other people in this bug, the Output in Sound Settings should automatically switch over to the newly connected bluetooth audio device.
I attached two logs as requisted by Luke Yelavich. The first log depicts connecting the bluetooth device. In the second log the bluetooth connection is already made and I'm pressing the 'decrease volume' keys several times followed by a series of 'increase volume'. These volume change thus don't affect the bluetooth connected speaker. ** Attachment added: "bluetooth.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1008539/+attachment/3648279/+files/bluetooth.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1008539 Title: Wrong volume binding when connecting bluetooth speakers Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a 2.1 speaker system and a Logitech bluetooth adapter for them that connects to my Asus UL50AG notebook for sound. In Sound Settings, I then have 2 entries: Built-in Audio Card and Logitech Adapter. The problem is that when I connect/reconnect to the bluetooth adapter, the sound volume knob is not bound to the Logitech Adapter. Instead, in Sound Settings, the Built-in Audio Card is selected instead of the Logitech Adapter. And when I use the multimedia keys on my notebook (Volume Up, Down, Mute), they have effect on the sound coming out of the notebook, not the external speakers. The expected result would be that, when I connect/reconnect the bluetooth adapter, the volume multimedia keys should bound to the new bluetooth setup, not the internal audio.
