I have already tried that. When I go into the sound GUI options (by clicking on the speaker icon in the top-right, then "Sound Settings..."), the option for "Hi fidelity" is there, but often times it does not let me choose it. Sometimes it will let me choose it then instantly jump back to "mono".
A few times I've been lucky and been able to select "hi fidelity" and it works, but this setting never gets remembered. -- 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/1707487 Title: Bluetooth speaker only plays as mono Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When I connect my Sony SRS-X1 Bluetooth speaker to Ubuntu, it only plays back as "mono" and refuses to use "hi fidelity". I have Windows 10 installed on the same laptop and when I've used the Bluetooth speaker in Ubuntu, Windows will "forget" the speaker on its Bluetooth list. I have to hold in the "reset" button on the speaker itself and re-add the speaker to Windows 10. This ONLY HAPPENS if I try using this speaker in Ubuntu, which suggests that Ubuntu is forcing the speaker into "mono" mode and Windows then sees it as a different device????? Please help. I will post all needed outputs as instructed.
