[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1181106] Re: Failed to change profile to A2DP in 13.04 (Raring), 13.10 (saucy), and 14.04 (trusty)
Solution that works for Ubunut 14.04 64bit on Thinkpad Edge 13 (not sure which specific model, has AMD Neo K325 CPU) and Jabra BT620s: 1.) backup your /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf 2.) create an empty /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf — eg sudo touch /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf 3.) after reboot/start of the computer, start blueman-manager and add your bluetooth A2DP — if your are tailing /var/log/syslog, it will state it failed to switch to a2dp 4.) restart bluetooth with sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart 5.) again add A2DP profile in blueman-manager 6.) reset/restart/whatever_this_command_actually_does pulseaudio with pulseaudio -k 7.) in /var/log/syslog you will notice that an audio device your_bluetooth_headset was added with profile A2DP 8.) set the default output device in pavucontrol to your bluetooth headset -- 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/1181106 Title: Failed to change profile to A2DP in 13.04 (Raring), 13.10 (saucy), and 14.04 (trusty) Status in Bluez Utilities: New Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: I upgraded to 13.04 recently and my A2DP profile, which had been working great under 12.10 is suddenly gone. Neither my blueman applet nor the built-in bluetooth manager applet can connect my external bluetooth speaker to the A2DP profile. They can connect to the bluetooth device itself just fine. Steps I'm using: * using blueman, I can connect to the external bluetooth speaker and view the device in the devices listing * I can connect the device to the Audio sink and I get a message saying it is now connected and will show in the PulseAudio mixer * After connecting the external speaker to the audio sink, I can also see the device in the Play sound through listing in the Sound system control panel, but the icon has a circle with a line through it. * but if I right-click the device and choose Audio Profile from the context menu and try to select High Fidelity Playback (A2DP) as the new profile, I get an error message stating failed to change profile to a2dp I've already added Enable=Socket in /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf, without that I can't pair my headset. Now I can pair it, but I can't activate the A2DP profile. When I try to activate it, I see this message in my syslog : pulseaudio[2603]: [pulseaudio] module-bluetooth-device.c: Profile has no transport I tried the kernel 3.9.0 because of a sound problem with my soundcard, this kernel fixed my soundcard problem, but A2DP still doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bluez/+bug/1181106/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

One more thing: if you are using more than one bluetooth device and the audio stops when using it, I use this set of commands (found this fix for Ubuntu 10.04, it still works). 1.) sudo hciconfig hci0 lm master 2.) sudo hciconfig hci0 lp hold,sniff,park It could reset your audio connection, so you need to manually set it back. You can add it to your /etc/rc.local so it will run on startup.
