Public bug reported: This is currently occurring with pavucontrol 2.0-2, and pulseaudio 1:4.0, under Xubuntu 14.04.2 and Xfce 4.12.
Simply, the only way I can get audio playing on Bluetooth devices is by setting it to A2DP (High Fidelity Playback). If I switch it to HSP/HFP, I hear the sound for less than a second, then it goes completely mute. Strangely PulseAudio Volume Control will show it as streaming to the device. I've checked the volume and it doesn't matter whether it's at 1% or 100%. No sound after a few milliseconds. ** Affects: pavucontrol (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1449755 Title: No Audio Played on Bluetooth Devices when Output is Set to Telephony Duplex (HSP/HFP) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pavucontrol/+bug/1449755/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
