@hife and @Mary Sherman (spot9019): Thanks for the speedy replies!

@hife: Thanks for describing your workaround in greater detail.
I've already tried the a2dp.py script, it doesn't fix the problem for
me. I just downloaded again the latest version and tried again, no joy:

Title:
[xenial] Bluetooth device doesn't play any sound in A2DP mode unless
set to HSP/HFP first
Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in pulseaudio source package in Xenial:
In Progress
Bug description:
[Impact]
Bluetooth device doesn't play any sound in A2DP mode unless set to HSP/HFP
first. A2DP is the high quality profile used for Bluetooth speakers and music
in general.
[Test Case]
1. Pair a Bluetooth audio device with Ubuntu.
2. Verify in Sound settings you have it set to A2DP mode.
3. Turn off and then on the Bluetooth device.
4. Verify the device has reconnected and if not, force it to in the Bluetooth
indicator menu.
5. Open Sound settings again, select the device and verify it's reappeared in
A2DP mode.
6. Click 'Test Sound'.
Expected: Sound can be heard from the Bluetooth device.
[Regression Potential]
Low. The SRU focuses on Bluetooth logic in pulseaudio, so that is the main
area affected. A combination of related A2DP bugs in pulseaudio in xenial means
it is difficult to get working at all without this patch. So highly unlikely
Bluetooth audio support could get worse. Since pulseaudio itself is being
modified there is always a regression potential in support for other audio
devices, but several audio devices have been tested and all continue to work
well with the patch.
[Other notes]
Related to bug 1283003 and bug 1438510. Possibly others too.
Please note that Bluetooth and Bluetooth audio support in xenial is
still not perfect. This SRU only aims to address a few of the most
troublesome issues. Please consider the fact that this is an
incremental improvement and some people are still likely to experience
some bugs related to pulseaudio and Bluetooth, even after this SRU.
The patch was authored by Luke Yelavich with help from Konrad
Zapałowicz. And it has received further testing over the past two
months by Konrad, Jim Hodapp and Daniel van Vugt. The debdiff proposed
here only changes the changelog wording from Luke's original PPA.
[Original Description]
I have a Sennheiser MM 450-X headset.
In 15.10, connection & playback was straightforward.
In 16.04, the headset connects, and shows up as default playback
device on `pavucontrol`, but there is no sound.
A functional workaround is to, after having connected it, to go the
`Configuration` tab, and in the `Profile` dropdown, to choose `...
HSP/HFP`, which will make them play as expected (but in low quality),
then switch to `... A2DP Sink` (they will play in high quality).
