The complete set of steps for the workaround are: * In a terminal, run `pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover` * Right-click on the device in blueman, select "connect to audio sink" * Open Puleseaudio volume control (pavucontrol), browse to "configuration" , use the dropdown to turn the Built-in audio profile "off" * use the other dropdown to set the bluetooth device to use A2DP
I think the desirable behavior is you would hit "connect to audio sink" and audio would start flowing through the bluetooth device, and then if you hit disconnect it would start flowing through the default profile again. However, there's an additional bug here, which is that after disconnecting (and manually switching the sink back on,) the default profile seems altered. I'm a little confused by what the underlying configuration change is, but xfce4-volumed can't control the volume of the built-in audio until I kill it and restart it: killall xfce4-volumed xfce4-volumed -- 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/1274613 Title: module-bluetooth-discover does not load on login Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: The following lines appear in /etc/pulse/default.pa, which I have not modified: .ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so load-module module-bluetooth-discover .endif Expected: module-bluetooth-discover is loaded on login, as configured. Observed: pulseaudio's module-bluetooth-discover does not load on login. My system does not detect and set up sinks when I connect to Bluetooth devices (including an A2DP speaker and a headset). If I issue, in a terminal window: $ pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover 24 …then the devices are detected and sinks set up correctly. $ lsb_release -rd && apt-cache policy pulseaudio-module-bluetooth Description: Ubuntu 13.10 Release: 13.10 pulseaudio-module-bluetooth: Installed: 1:4.0-0ubuntu6 Candidate: 1:4.0-0ubuntu6 Version table: *** 1:4.0-0ubuntu6 0 500 http://mirrors.mit.edu/ubuntu/ saucy/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: pulseaudio 1:4.0-0ubuntu6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-17.30-generic 3.11.10.3 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-17-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: khaeru 2051 F.... pulseaudio Date: Thu Jan 30 12:18:50 2014 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-10-29 (457 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: pulseaudio UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to saucy on 2013-09-11 (140 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 05/15/2013 dmi.bios.vendor: Dell Inc. dmi.bios.version: A09 dmi.board.name: 085VR5 dmi.board.vendor: Dell Inc. dmi.board.version: A00 dmi.chassis.type: 8 dmi.chassis.vendor: Dell Inc. dmi.chassis.version: 0.1 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnDellInc.:bvrA09:bd05/15/2013:svnDellInc.:pnDellSystemXPSL322X:pvr:rvnDellInc.:rn085VR5:rvrA00:cvnDellInc.:ct8:cvr0.1: dmi.product.name: Dell System XPS L322X dmi.sys.vendor: Dell Inc.
