I have the same problem and the solution for me was to manually change the profile. This post on the Ubuntu forums was very helpful: http://askubuntu.com/questions/287254/ubuntu-13-04-bluetooth-a2dp-does-not-work
In essence, you need to run the following command to switch profile to a2dp: sudo pactl list cards short sudo pactl set-card-profile <card name from above step> a2dp The interesting thing for me is that when I initially connected the Logitech Mini Boombox, it was found with no problems and it worked flawlessly. However, I forgot to connect the laptop to a power source and when it finally shutdown in the night, I could not get it to work again in the morning - not even after purging and reinstalling all bluetooth related packages as well as pulseaudio. In the end, the two commands above worked just fine.
