I ran the following steps:
1. Power laptop on with bluetooth turned off
2. Turn BT on in gnome settings and set my BT headphones in pairing mode
3. Pair the headphones.
4. In Sound settings, it looks like the selected device is the BT headphones,
but if I play something it outputs on the laptop speakers.
output of `pactl list` gives something interesting though:

This matches what I have, but not what I see in Sound settings.
5. Now, if I select the speakers as the output device in the sound
settings, then back to BT device, the sound is correctly output to the
BT headphones (and not the laptop speakers), and I see this in `pactl
list`:

The Bluetooth source goes from SUSPENDED to IDLE.
I'll attach both logs: one from step 4 (with the BT device shown as
selected in Sound Settings Output Device even though the sound outputs
to the laptop speakers) and one from step 5 (after switching Output
Device back and forth in the Sound settings screen).

Title:
Bluetooth headset selected as default sound output, yet sound outputs
to laptop speakers
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Ubuntu 19.10 (using -proposed pocket)
Kernel 5.3.0-21-generic #22
pulseaudio 1:13.0-1ubuntu1
bluez 5.50-0ubuntu4
Device: Dell Inspiron 7370
Step to reproduce
=================
1. Pair a bluetooth headset with the laptop
2. Go to sound settings
-> in "Output device", the bluetooth headset is selected
3. Click Test, then "Front Left" and/or "Front Right"
-> the sound outputs to the laptop speakers instead of the bluetooth headset
If I select "Speakers - Built-in audio" in the "Output device", then
select back the bluetooth headset from the "Output device" list and
test it, it works as expected.
I tried this with 2 different bluetooth headsets (UE Boom and
TaoTronics TT-BH07) which work fine on an Android device.
