Public bug reported: After today's update, no audio can be played via connected Bluetooth headset (Sony LE_WH-1000XM3). The sound setting offers internal speakers or wireless headset, but either way any media (RhythmBox, Web video, ...) plays through the internal speakers.
The notable exception is gnome-console's ping (played as output of a BELL character, like from hitting the backspace key on an empty bash command line, or from echo -e \\007 which does play through wireless headset (or internal speaker) as set by the sound setting. Before today's update, the Bluetooth headset did play audio (yet not immediately upon connecting; for though the sound setting had switched to the external headset, any sound was still output to via internal speakers. But switching once to the internal speakers and back to the BT headset was a viable workaround to get sound out to the BT headset.) >From apt log: Start-Date: 2020-06-18 17:19:14 Commandline: aptdaemon role='role-commit-packages' sender=':1.315' Upgrade: bind9-dnsutils:amd64 (1:9.16.1-0ubuntu2.1, 1:9.16.1-0ubuntu2.2), alsa-ucm-conf:amd64 (1.2.2-1, 1.2.2-1ubuntu0.1), bind9-host:amd64 (1:9.16.1-0ubuntu2.1, 1:9.16.1-0ubuntu2.2), dnsutils:amd64 (1:9.16.1-0ubuntu2.1, 1:9.16.1-0ubuntu2.2), initramfs-tools-bin:amd64 (0.136ubuntu6, 0.136ubuntu6.1), busybox-static:amd64 (1:1.30.1-4ubuntu6, 1:1.30.1-4ubuntu6.1), bind9-libs:amd64 (1:9.16.1-0ubuntu2.1, 1:9.16.1-0ubuntu2.2), initramfs-tools-core:amd64 (0.136ubuntu6, 0.136ubuntu6.1), initramfs-tools:amd64 (0.136ubuntu6, 0.136ubuntu6.1), gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock:amd64 (67ubuntu20.04.5, 68ubuntu1~20.04.1), busybox-initramfs:amd64 (1:1.30.1-4ubuntu6, 1:1.30.1-4ubuntu6.1) Remove: linux-image-5.3.0-55-generic:amd64 (5.3.0-55.49), linux-modules-extra-5.3.0-55-generic:amd64 (5.3.0-55.49), linux-headers-5.3.0-55-generic:amd64 (5.3.0-55.49), linux-modules-5.3.0-55-generic:amd64 (5.3.0-55.49), linux-headers-5.3.0-55:amd64 (5.3.0-55.49) End-Date: 2020-06-18 17:20:14 Could the issue be caused by one of these packages? alsa-ucm-conf:amd64 (1.2.2-1, 1.2.2-1ubuntu0.1) gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock:amd64 (67ubuntu20.04.5, 68ubuntu1~20.04.1) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: alsa-base 1.0.25+dfsg-0ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-37.41-generic 5.4.41 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-37-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: bernhard 2078 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c: bernhard 2078 F...m pulseaudio CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Thu Jun 18 18:42:49 2020 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-12-11 (919 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Release amd64 (20171018) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: alsa-driver Symptom: audio Symptom_Card: LE_WH-1000XM3 Symptom_Type: Only some of outputs are working Title: [LE_WH-1000XM3, playback] Playback problem UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to focal on 2020-06-05 (13 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 09/13/2017 dmi.bios.vendor: Insyde Corp. dmi.bios.version: V1.01. dmi.board.name: Woody_KL dmi.board.vendor: KBL dmi.board.version: V1.01. dmi.chassis.type: 31 dmi.chassis.vendor: Acer dmi.chassis.version: V1.01. dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnInsydeCorp.:bvrV1.01.:bd09/13/2017:svnAcer:pnSpinSP513-52N:pvrV1.01.:rvnKBL:rnWoody_KL:rvrV1.01.:cvnAcer:ct31:cvrV1.01.: dmi.product.family: Spin 5 dmi.product.name: Spin SP513-52N dmi.product.sku: 0000000000000000 dmi.product.version: V1.01. dmi.sys.vendor: Acer mtime.conffile..etc.modprobe.d.alsa-base.conf: 2020-06-18T18:32:11.193118 ** Affects: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1884135 Title: [LE_WH-1000XM3, playback] Playback problem: BT headset only plays gnome-terminal's bell (Ctrl-G), any media/audio is still output via builtin intel audio Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After today's update, no audio can be played via connected Bluetooth headset (Sony LE_WH-1000XM3).
