But the audio quality was poor, because the default audio profile was the low-quality HSP/HFP one. When I used pavucontrol to switch it to the A2DP profile, it sounded perfect. I don't know enough about Bluetooth to suggest a solution, but this is definitely an issue. My Mac used the correct profile with no configuration and sound was perfect with no configuration, but my Linux system didn't, and I had to start a reddit thread and read a wiki page to learn how to get the device to produce decent audio. This is a sub- optimal user experience for someone like my wife or my mother, who would would just assume that it doesn't work and blame the speaker or the OS.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1720684] Re: Bluetooth speaker used the HSP/HFP profile by default rather than the higher-quality A2DP profile
Here's the same fix, for bionic. Unfortunately even with this fix it's too hard for me to tell if it's any improvement. My system seems to reliably default to the last used audio profile for the device. Even if I have removed and re-paired the device. So it seems like the fix at most is only necessary for brand new devices you've never had on your system before. ** Patch added: "pulseaudio_11.1-1ubuntu2.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1720684/+attachment/5022464/+files/pulseaudio_11.1-1ubuntu2.debdiff ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: High => Medium -- 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/1720684 Title: Bluetooth speaker used the HSP/HFP profile by default rather than the higher-quality A2DP profile Status in PulseAudio: Fix Released Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Kubuntu 17.04 Bluetooth device: https://smile.amazon.com/VicTsing-Wireless-Waterproof-Hands-Free-Speakerphone/dp/B074DX13T1 (itentifies itself as "C6") The above Bluetooth speaker paired and started streaming audio perfectly in Kubuntu 17.04.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1720684] Re: Bluetooth speaker used the HSP/HFP profile by default rather than the higher-quality A2DP profile
Bluetooth audio and profile selection is actually the job of pulseaudio, not bluez (surprisingly). Also, A2DP has always been preferred over HSP/HFP but the availability and detection of A2DP has been historically buggy. So the selection might not turn out as you hope. AFAIK fixes for this already exist in 17.10 and in 16.04: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio Unfortunately it seems 17.04 has been neglected in this area. Although to be fair 17.04 is also end-of-life soon: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases Please try live-booting the latest 17.10 image and tell us if that has indeed resolved the problem for your hardware: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ ** Changed in: bluez (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Package changed: bluez (Ubuntu) => pulseaudio (Ubuntu) -- 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/1720684 Title: Bluetooth speaker used the HSP/HFP profile by default rather than the higher-quality A2DP profile Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Kubuntu 17.04 Bluetooth device: https://smile.amazon.com/VicTsing-Wireless-Waterproof-Hands-Free-Speakerphone/dp/B074DX13T1 (itentifies itself as "C6") The above Bluetooth speaker paired and started streaming audio perfectly in Kubuntu 17.04.
