We have made efforts to improve Bluetooth audio support over the past year, but most of the fixes are in Ubuntu 17.10 and 18.04 only. We've backported some to 16.04 but unfortunately can't backport everything.
Please try 17.10/18.04 and if you have any ongoing issues then open a new bug. -- 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/1549163 Title: Bluetooth headset HSP/HFP mode not working in Xenial Status in HWE Next: Fix Released Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Using the 2/14 Xenial daily build, paired bluetooth headsets' do not work in HSP/HFP mode.
