Public bug reported: On a machine without fixed connecting audio devices like internal microphone or internal speaker, And when there is no external audio devices plugging in, the default source/sink is alsa_input/alsa_output and there is no input devices/output devices listed in the gnome sound-setting.
Under this situation, if we connect a bluetooth headset, the gnome sound-setting will list bluez input/output devices, but they are not active devices by default. This looks very weird that sound-setting lists only one input device and one output device, but they are not active. To change this situation, we add an argument, the policy is if a new source/sink is connected and current default source/sink's active_port is AVAILABLE_NO, we let the new added one switch to default one. ** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Hui Wang (hui.wang) Status: New ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- 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/1369476 Title: No sound input/output via bluetooth headset in HSP/HFP mode Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On a machine without fixed connecting audio devices like internal microphone or internal speaker, And when there is no external audio devices plugging in, the default source/sink is alsa_input/alsa_output and there is no input devices/output devices listed in the gnome sound-setting.
