Connecting a headphone requires several attempts. Then the sound settings have to be selected manually Even then, the sound offered is mono I tested with a Bose QC35. There is a sound profile that requires manual selection and offers stereo speakers. However, while testing left speaker gives reasonable results, testing the right speaker only produces cracking noise. Playback of music is virtually impossible (the stream is repeatedly interupted by voice anouncements of incoming calls ??? and reconnection attemts) To eliminate hardware issues I tested under macOS and the sound quality is excellent (even during working in a spread sheet and a word processor in parallel). => issues caused by the software stack ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: bluez 5.46-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.12.0-13.14-generic 4.12.10 Uname: Linux 4.12.0-13-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sat Sep 9 15:12:02 2017 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-09-05 (4 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Alpha amd64 (20170902) InterestingModules: rfcomm bnep btusb bluetooth Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 05ac:8406 Apple, Inc.
