I ran the following steps: 1. Power laptop on with bluetooth turned off 2. Turn BT on in gnome settings and set my BT headphones in pairing mode 3. Pair the headphones. 4. In Sound settings, it looks like the selected device is the BT headphones, but if I play something it outputs on the laptop speakers.
output of `pactl list` gives something interesting though: Source #1 State: RUNNING Name: alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo Description: Built-in Audio Analog Stereo Driver: module-alsa-card.c Sample Specification: s16le 2ch 44100Hz Channel Map: front-left,front-right Owner Module: 7 Mute: no Volume: front-left: 30421 / 46% / -20.00 dB, front-right: 30421 / 46% / -20.00 dB balance 0.00 Base Volume: 6554 / 10% / -60.00 dB Monitor of Sink: n/a Latency: 123 usec, configured 40000 usec Flags: HARDWARE HW_MUTE_CTRL HW_VOLUME_CTRL DECIBEL_VOLUME LATENCY Properties: alsa.resolution_bits = "16" device.api = "alsa" device.class = "sound" alsa.class = "generic" alsa.subclass = "generic-mix" alsa.name = "ALC3254 Analog" alsa.id = "ALC3254 Analog" alsa.subdevice = "0" alsa.subdevice_name = "subdevice #0" alsa.device = "0" alsa.card = "0" alsa.card_name = "HDA Intel PCH" alsa.long_card_name = "HDA Intel PCH at 0xd1128000 irq 128" alsa.driver_name = "snd_hda_intel" device.bus_path = "pci-0000:00:1f.3" sysfs.path = "/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.3/sound/card0" device.bus = "pci" device.vendor.id = "8086" device.vendor.name = "Intel Corporation" device.product.id = "9d71" device.product.name = "Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio" device.form_factor = "internal" device.string = "front:0" device.buffering.buffer_size = "65536" device.buffering.fragment_size = "32768" device.access_mode = "mmap+timer" device.profile.name = "analog-stereo" device.profile.description = "Analog Stereo" device.description = "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" alsa.mixer_name = "Realtek ALC3254" alsa.components = "HDA:10ec0295,102807e9,00100002 HDA:8086280b,80860101,00100000" module-udev-detect.discovered = "1" device.icon_name = "audio-card-pci" Ports: analog-input-internal-mic: Internal Microphone (priority: 8900) analog-input-headphone-mic: Microphone (priority: 8700, not available) analog-input-headset-mic: Headset Microphone (priority: 8800, not available) Active Port: analog-input-internal-mic Formats: pcm Source #2 State: SUSPENDED Name: bluez_sink.E3_28_E9_21_94_78.a2dp_sink.monitor Description: Monitor of TaoTronics TT-BH07 Driver: module-bluez5-device.c Sample Specification: s16le 2ch 44100Hz Channel Map: front-left,front-right Owner Module: 25 Mute: no Volume: front-left: 65536 / 100% / 0.00 dB, front-right: 65536 / 100% / 0.00 dB balance 0.00 Base Volume: 65536 / 100% / 0.00 dB Monitor of Sink: bluez_sink.E3_28_E9_21_94_78.a2dp_sink Latency: 0 usec, configured 0 usec Flags: DECIBEL_VOLUME LATENCY Properties: device.description = "Monitor of TaoTronics TT-BH07" device.class = "monitor" device.string = "E3:28:E9:21:94:78" device.api = "bluez" device.bus = "bluetooth" device.form_factor = "headset" bluez.path = "/org/bluez/hci0/dev_E3_28_E9_21_94_78" bluez.class = "0x240404" bluez.alias = "TaoTronics TT-BH07" device.icon_name = "audio-headset-bluetooth" device.intended_roles = "phone" Formats: pcm This matches what I have, but not what I see in Sound settings. 5.

I'll attach both logs: one from step 4 (with the BT device shown as selected in Sound Settings Output Device even though the sound outputs to the laptop speakers) and one from step 5 (after switching Output Device back and forth in the Sound settings screen). -- 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/1850766 Title: Bluetooth headset selected as default sound output, yet sound outputs to laptop speakers Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: New Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Ubuntu 19.10 (using -proposed pocket) Kernel 5.3.0-21-generic #22 pulseaudio 1:13.0-1ubuntu1 bluez 5.50-0ubuntu4 Device: Dell Inspiron 7370 Step to reproduce ================= 1. Pair a bluetooth headset with the laptop 2. Go to sound settings -> in "Output device", the bluetooth headset is selected 3. Click Test, then "Front Left" and/or "Front Right" -> the sound outputs to the laptop speakers instead of the bluetooth headset If I select "Speakers - Built-in audio" in the "Output device", then select back the bluetooth headset from the "Output device" list and test it, it works as expected. I tried this with 2 different bluetooth headsets (UE Boom and TaoTronics TT-BH07) which work fine on an Android device.
