2 Bernie: I had similar issue with Xenial. Two things to be mentioned:
1) It was not clean OS install, Xenial was upgraded from 14.04 2) There were error messages, when I tried to choose HSP profile: [pulseaudio] module-bluez5-device.c: Refused to switch profile to headset_head_unit: Not connected So, I reinstalled the bluez package and the problem disappeared. Something like this: sudo apt-get install --reinstall bluez -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop 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: New 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.
