The workaround that worked for me from the pulseaudio #832 bug:
mv ~/.config/pulse/ ~/.config/pulse.old
systemctl --user restart pulseaudio
Also the bug has been found and a fix is in review:

Title:
External audio device shows up in the sound output options but the
sound keeps being emitted from the internal laptop speaker, or none at

Bug description:
Ubuntu version: focal dev
Kernel version: 5.4.0-14-generic #17-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 6 22:47:59 UTC 2020
Pulseaudio: 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu1
Device CID: 201704-25503
Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect an audio interface. I tried with BT headphones and speakers as
well as a USB microphone/output.
2. Make sure it's the one selected as "Output device"
3. Click "Test"
-> the test sound outputs from the internal laptop speakers (NOK)
4. Select "Speakers - Built-in Audio" as Output device and click "Test"
-> the test sound outputs from the internal laptop speakers (OK)
5. Try to switch back to the BT device and click Test
-> same result as in step 3
Tested with 2 different BT devices (one headset and one speaker) as
well as a USB audio interface (Zoom H2N microphone).
Attached are btmon logs captured during the procedure described above,
and pactl logs capture after step 7.
I was previously using 19.04 and 19.10 on this device and never
experienced this kind of issue.
Up to this morning, it was harder to connect the BT device, but once
connected, the sound would output on it as expected. Now, the BT
connection seems to work better, but I can't output the sound to the
BT device...
I tried to reboot the device, and also to suspend/resume, but in each
case, the BT device can connect back, but the sound is still output
from the internal laptop speakers, even when the BT device is selected
in the Sound settings.
