I am using Ubuntu 18.04 and I have same issue. My echo was working fine from many days and suddenly I have this issue where when I goto bluetooth devices and right click on Echo and click on Audio Source, It says "Now connected to Ubuntu" but does not play sound.
If I give the foolwoing command in terminal: sudo service bluetooth status I see the issue might be with "a2dp-source profile connect failed for XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX: Device or resource busy" Not sure how to fix it. I have removed and paired the device again and restarted my computer couple of time but of no use. -- 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/1691556 Title: Can't send audio to Amazon Echo via Bluetooth Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Pairing and coupling to Amazon Echo works, but no sound is heard. I believe the issue is related to the fact that Amazon Echo is paired as a handset (i.e., speaker + microphone) rather than just as a speaker. I believe the critical error is found in a dmesg line such as: Feb 28 10:59:05 n1 bluetoothd[1025]: a2dp-source profile connect failed for 50:F5:DA:A6:3F:EA: Device or resource busy as I describe in the askubuntu.com discussion at: https://askubuntu.com/questions/871630/cant-send-audio-to-amazon-echo- via-bluetooth I have clarified there my thinking and the steps I've taken thus far on this issue, which includes trying debug bluetooth per the Ubuntu wiki page which describes how to do so. This is probably an upstream issue, as Mike H-R has commented there that the problem also occurs on ArchLinux. I and a few others would like to get this resolved, and I am happy to help (I'm a software developer). However, at this point, I'm not sure how to proceed without some assistance. I suppose I could report it to Debain, but I've only ever used Debain vis a vis Ubuntu, so I thought it best to start here. Thanks.
