Tracked it further down (ubuntu 16.04). On a fresh boot - bluetooth device connects, with sound enabled (I configured bluetooth to default to bluetooth sound device on connect) - video playback does not stop - Sound is played perfectly fine.
After a suspend to ram and suspend - bluetooth connects, but sound is not enabled - video playback stops - Workaround: I have to switch from A2DP to HSP/HFP and back to A2DP. - After applying the workaround (manually, every time), video playback continues, sound plays fine via BT. I've just updated to HWE kernel 4.8.0-36-generic. But that did not change anything, compared to 4.4 kernel. To sum up: It's related to suspend/resume, at least sometimes. And Kernel 4.8 does not fix it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589008 Title: Bluetooth freezing video playback In Ubuntu/Kubuntu 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1589008/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
