I found this thread via Google, trying to fix the Bluetooth pairing of my Bose QC35 (version 1) running Ubuntu 16.0.4.6 on a ThinkPad X230. Whilst trying out a few things I managed to solve my problem by temporarily disabling my VPN. Might have been a random coincidence but I wanted to leave this here in case it helped others. Worth a try anyway :)

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in pulseaudio source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in pulseaudio source package in Yakkety: Fix Released Bug description: Impact: A patch we carry for Ubuntu touch introduced a change that originally was required to make sure PulseAudio did not crash. This patch was ported to PulseAudio 8 in Xenial, but the patch author's bluetooth hardware that was to hand at the time worked so was assumed to be ok. However, the opposite is now happening, i.e PulseAudio is crashing with a subset of Bluetooth hardware. Regression potential: Very low to none. As can be read in this report, much debugging and testing has been done to find the problem, and the eventual fix. Moreover the change is the removal of a patch hunk that removed a line of code originally present in PulseAudio. Test case: NOTE that this test case applies to bluetooth hardware that is identified as not working in this bug report. 1. Install, or upgrade to Xenial or yakkety. 2. Pair your bluetooth device in the bluetooth settings in the relevant settings application for your desktop environment. 3. Once paired, you will notice that sound stops working, as pulseaudio has thrown an assertion error. 4. You do not have to remove your audio device from the paired device list, but it may be easier to do so for the next part of the testing. 5. Update to the version of PulseAudio in xenial-proposed which is 1:8.0-0ubuntu3.1, or in yakkety-proposed, which is 1:9.0-2ubuntu2.1. 6. Re-pair your device. Audio should continue to work, and you should be able to switch to your bluetooth device and use it. Original bug report: When I attempt to connect my Jaybird Bluebuds X to Ubuntu 16.04 pulseaudio crashes, this does *NOT* happen with a Jambox which leads me to believe it's an intermittent problem with some hardware. This did not happen on Ubuntu 15.10 (which was an upgrade of 15.04).
