Public bug reported: When I try to connect to my Bluetooth speaker using Ubuntu GNOME (a Vizio SB3820 sound bar) it is not listed in the sound devices until I use a workaround from this site:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/824404/bluetooth-speaker-connected-but- not-listed-in-sound-output Specifically, "Install blueman sudo apt install blueman Delete the paired device in the bluetooth settings. Run these commands in terminal: bash sudo pkill pulseaudio sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart Turn off headphones. Turn on headphones, and press green/go until headphones notification voice says "Ready to pair." Launch blueman, and from the upper right menu, right-click the icon to bring up the blueman menu. Select Setup new device. Pair the device, and when you are given an option, not headphones, not handsfree. Use the Audio sink option. Then when you look into the audio settings panel, the device should be displayed." In my case, the situation is more like killing pulseaudio, restarting the bluetooth service, and reconnecting to the device using Blueman as an audio sink, NOT using the GNOME Bluetooth applet. If I do this, the device appears as a sound device and works....until I reboot the computer. I was told to file a bug on this by the #ubuntu-gnome IRC channel using ubuntu-bug audio.
