[Touch-packages] [Bug 1720083] Re: Profile defaults to headset mode instead of a2dp
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1720684 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720684 Upstream has completed a fix for this, this week. It's linked to LP bug 1720684. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1720684 Bluetooth speaker used the HSP/HFP profile by default rather than the higher-quality A2DP profile -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720083 Title: Profile defaults to headset mode instead of a2dp Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Using 17.10 # Reproduce: 1. Pair bluetooth headphone with mic (like Bose QC35) 2. Play music # What I get: Music is very bad quality because the "headset head unit (HSP/HFP)" profile is chosen by default. Switching to the "High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink)" profile fixes the audio. # What I expect: Music is good quality because A2DP profile is chosen by default. # Why should A2DP be chosen by default? 1. Given that HSP quality is so low, we can assume that the primary use for bluetooth headsets is to listen to music. As a result, setting it to A2DP by default will give good experience for the biggest amount of use-cases. 2. Bluez supports automatic switching from A2DP to HSP when a program identifies a recording stream as "Phone" (or optionally when it doesn't identify the recording stream with PulseAudio 11 [1]) so in many cases, it's not even needed to manually switch to HSP.
