For 17.10 fresh install the best solution was just the "disable pulseaudio's bluetooth in gdm", i.e. Add this to /var/lib/gdm3/.config/pulse/default.pa:
#!/usr/bin/pulseaudio -nF # # load system wide configuration .include /etc/pulse/default.pa ### unload driver modules for Bluetooth hardware .ifexists module-bluetooth-policy.so unload-module module-bluetooth-policy .endif .ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so unload-module module-bluetooth-discover .endif Nothing more needed... It almost seems the Debian upstream bug assumes one would get audio thru bluetooth, just not A2DP. Here on my speaker it's A2DP or nothing so as it stands now there is nothing.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1489651 Title: Bluetooth audio not working (with GDM(3)) Status in PulseAudio: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Confirmed Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in gdm3 package in Debian: New Bug description: I'm having problems with a Marshall Stanmore bluetooth speaker in Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 Beta. It pairs fine and is listed as a bluetooth device but won't show up in the audio settings as a device nor will it show up with pactl list.
