@marc-edcc: your method works the most consistently. I've rebooted multiple times, connecting and disconnecting the headset with my phone and other devices, and turning it on and off, and also connecting and disconnecting from the 16.04 laptop, and I haven't had a single problem getting audio to work as expected.
I have to do this dance on each reboot, sleep, hibernate, or even any time I want to just disconnect my headset. For me, this isn't a huge deal, but I would classify this as a blocker bug regarding bluetooth audio. @maxb: the next time I get into a bad state I will take a look at the logs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1438510 Title: [REGRESSION] bluetooth headset no longer supports a2dp Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in bluez source package in Vivid: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio source package in Vivid: Confirmed Bug description: Just installed 15.04 fresh from the latest ISO (beta2). I'm bummed to see my bluetooth headset (Bose Soundlink overear) seems to have regressed in functionality. In 14.10, I was able to set the output profile either to a2dp or hsp/hfp (telephony duplex). In 15.04, it only works in telephony duplex mode. I can't get high fidelity sound playback to work at all.
