Thomas, thank you for this report and thank you for the research leading you to find a solution in bug 1283003.
I hope you don't mind me unduping this ticket for the moment. Bug 1283003 lumps together too many different aspects to be actionable. I believe I experienced exactly the same issue and that's the one I'd like to get a fix for into Ubuntu so that things work out of the box. Here's what I know about the situation at the moment. "pactl load- module module-bluetooth-discover" resolved the situation for me just like it did for you. I am not yet sure if that will survive a reboot or if I will need to reissue the command. Bug 1283003 comment 15 mentioned left-over files in /etc/bluetooth that once they were removed resolved the situation. I believe I can also confirm that for my case. Is this the same for you? If it is, I'd like for this ticket to focus on those left-over files and get a fix committed to Utopic and Trusty. Have you ever tried a Trusty or Utopic live CD and experienced the same issue? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1320498 Title: Using BT Headset (a2dp) is not possible: Bluetooth: re-auth of legacy device is not possible.
