Bluetooth A2DP output to the Sony DR-BT21G was working fine on ThinkPad Egde E330 in Ubuntu 11.10 and works now in 12.04.2 for me after an upgrade. It uses the Intel Centrino Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 + High Speed Adapter (http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/component/usb/8087:07da/). I was following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1464189&p=9511043#post9511043 on how to configure Bluetooth in 11.10. Although I have 2 issues: 1. Default Bluetooth manager (bluetooth-applet from gnome-bluetooth) cannot connect to the headset correctly. So I use Blueman and switch the audio source through the "gnome-control-center sound". Some applications like totem require switching the source with PulseAudio Volume Control. 2. The output is very sensitive. If you put a hand between the device and the headset, the sound stops. This is not the case for streaming A2DP from my cell phone, so it's definitely a PC issue. The same was happening on the different ThinkPad Edge, so possibly it's a Linux issue (not hardware). a2dp skips terribly (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/405294) Audio output on Bluetooth headset is choppy (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2011-September/011258.html)
