As others have stated on this thread, this is a major bug, and just another reason not to use Linux. It's a great OS in general terms but has never been ready for prime time. It's a very small percentage of the public willing to tinker with the OS on a fundamental level, and an even smaller percentage willing to work in a command line to fix or install programs. It's just not practical and takes a level of patience and skill 99.99% of the population don't possess. Take the lead of Windows and Mac. Click on something and have it install, and more importantly, just work. This bluetooth bug is simply the tip of the iceberg.
That being said, I like Linux and will continue to use it. Makes me feel like a rebel! Honestly though, it's never been an easy operating system to work with with. It's buggy and complicated. It fights you continuously. I run the latest Kubuntu, which I personally like the best, but have tried dozens of iterations over the years. -- 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/1589008 Title: Bluetooth freezing video playback In Ubuntu/Kubuntu 16.04 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In 16.04 when a bluetooth audio device is connected it freezes video playback and also no sound comes from online audio only streams. Issue does not exist with a wired headset. This issue does not exist with 15.10. All updates have been installed on 16.04 including backports but they have not fixed the issue. It is not browser specific and not website specific. It is not hardware specific as it affects my laptop with an intel 7260 card and my pc with an intel 8260 card. The issue exists on both ubuntu and kubuntu 16.04. I have reported it on the ubuntu support forums and after investigation a moderator noticed changed in the kernel from 4.4 and 4.2 that may becausing the issue and asked me to file a bug report.
