I have the same problem with Sony WF-1000XM3 and Ubuntu 16.04. I realized that when the headphones connect automatically, they don't appear when running ``pacmd list-sinks``. If I disconnect and reconnect them manually, they do and a2dp is used.
I wrote a couple of scripts to automatize this and temporarily circumvent the issue. ** Attachment added: "checkBTConnection.zip" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1845046/+attachment/5311468/+files/checkBTConnection.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845046 Title: Bluetooth headphones/speaker default to low quality headset mode and fails to switch to A2DP when selected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1845046/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
