Solution that works for Ubunut 14.04 64bit on Thinkpad Edge 13 (not sure which specific model, has AMD Neo K325 CPU) and Jabra BT620s:
1.) backup your /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf 2.) create an empty /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf —> eg "sudo touch /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf" 3.) after reboot/start of the computer, start blueman-manager and add your bluetooth A2DP —> if your are tailing /var/log/syslog, it will state it failed to switch to a2dp 4.) restart bluetooth with "sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart" 5.) again add A2DP profile in blueman-manager 6.) reset/restart/whatever_this_command_actually_does pulseaudio with "pulseaudio -k" 7.) in /var/log/syslog you will notice that an audio device <your_bluetooth_headset> was added with profile A2DP 8.) set the default output device in pavucontrol to your bluetooth headset -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1181106 Title: Failed to change profile to A2DP in 13.04 (Raring), 13.10 (saucy), and 14.04 (trusty) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bluez/+bug/1181106/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
