Confirmed on Ubuntu 16.04 (4.4.0-34-generic). Recently bought a bluetooth dongle to my desktop. Cannot switch to A2DP making headset useless for listening to music.

I'm bummed to see my bluetooth headset (Bose Soundlink overear) seems to have regressed in functionality. In 14.10, I was able to set the output profile either to a2dp or hsp/hfp (telephony duplex). In 15.04, it only works in telephony duplex mode. I can't get high fidelity sound playback to work at all.
