This bug affects me on Xubuntu 14.04.3
My pulse audio config file also has the following but fails to load the
module:
.ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so
load-module module-bluetooth-discover
.endif
On my machine it seemed like there was a race condition and module-
bluetooth-discover a dependency. If I attempted to load the modules
using the config file, directly on startup, or even too fast manually it
failed to load.
Here was my complete workaround:
1) Ensure that the module-bluetooth-discover module is installed
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
2) Load the following modules manually
pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover
pactl load-module module-switch-on-connect
3) Check that the modules loaded
pactl list modules | grep module-bluetooth-discover
pactl list modules | grep module-switch-on-connect
4) Check that you are able to connect to the bluetooth speaker
To load the modules automatically:
5) Comment out the following lines from /etc/pulse/default.pa
.ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so
load-module module-bluetooth-discover
.endif
-to-
#.ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so
#load-module module-bluetooth-discover
#.endif
6) Add the following as a new startup command using the "Session and Startup"
GUI:
bash -c "sleep(5); pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover; pactl
load-module module-switch-on-connect"
If you are having trouble I used this command to check why pulseaudio was
failing to load the modules:
cat /var/log/syslog | grep pulse
I found errors like:
module.c: Module "module-bluetooth-discover" should be loaded once at
most. Refusing to load.
module-bluetooth-device.c: Failed to acquire transport
