This is still a problem. There is more than one facet to this bug. The first is that in bluetooth-client.c it tries to connect via the order in which the connection types are listed. 'HSP' is the first type and so it is selected. This should be changed and 'HSP', which is the lower quality setting, should be moved down the list.
The other, interested side of this bug (which is probably PulseAudio's fault), is that in my experience the headset has to be power-cycled in order to properly receive audio even when the correct audio sync is selected by default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1409325 Title: Ubuntu chooses worst quality when connecting to bluetooth headset Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have a set of bluetooth headphones, model Arctic P311. When I connect to these with Ubuntu, the selected mode is Telephony Duplex (HSP/HFP). I always want High Fidelity Playback (A2DP). My Android phone and my Windows computer both select the best mode (A2DP), in my experience. At least I don't need to fiddle about to change the mode when using either of those systems.
