A new error mode is that now the BT device is not connected at all, even after doing the #5 thing, with the error:
bluetoothd[984]: Unable to get Headset Voice gateway SDP record: Host is down I need to reboot the system, unpair and pair again the device, and then doing the dance of connecting with low quality, change to the internal audio, disconnecting the BT device, reconnecting again, switch to A2DP --- which now works. After 20 minutes. I think something happened in the last kernel update. Will start looking in Google for rain dances for the next time... ;-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1438510 Title: [REGRESSION] bluetooth headset no longer supports a2dp Status in PulseAudio: Unknown Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in bluez source package in Vivid: Won't Fix Status in pulseaudio source package in Vivid: Won't Fix Bug description: Just installed 15.04 fresh from the latest ISO (beta2). 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.
