Hello, I'm landing here after tracking a bug : I could not output sound to my SRS-XB22 bluetooth speaker. I had in logs : `src/service.c:btd_service_connect() a2dp-sink profile connect failed for F8:DF:15:7F:ED:AA: Protocol not available`
I found a workaround here https://askubuntu.com/questions/1172000/a2dp-sink-profile-connect-failed ``` $ pactl load-module module-bluetooth-policy $ pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover ``` I did not understand why these commands were mandatory as I already have them in `/etc/pulse/default.pa` Then I checked my `~/.config/pulse/default.pa` and found this : ``` #!/usr/bin/pulseaudio -nF # # Work around for PA not allowing access to A2DP profiles in the user session # because GDM already has it open. # LP: #1703415 # load system wide configuration .include /etc/pulse/default.pa ### unload driver modules for Bluetooth hardware .ifexists module-bluetooth-policy.so unload-module module-bluetooth-policy .endif .ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so unload-module module-bluetooth-discover .endif ``` So here, we are : today, with - Ubuntu 20.10 - Pulseaudio 1:13.99.2-1ubuntu2.1 - BlueZ 5.55-0ubuntu1.1 => I do not reproduce the original bug. => Moreover, the now unnecessary workaround in `~/.config/pulse/default.pa` is preventing normal use for bluetooth devices. **Workaround for the workaround** : comment the lines in `~/.config/pulse/default.pa` ``` #!/usr/bin/pulseaudio -nF # # Work around for PA not allowing access to A2DP profiles in the user session # because GDM already has it open. # LP: #1703415 # load system wide configuration .include /etc/pulse/default.pa ### unload driver modules for Bluetooth hardware #.ifexists module-bluetooth-policy.so # unload-module module-bluetooth-policy #.endif # #.ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so # unload-module module-bluetooth-discover #.endif ``` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1703415 Title: Bluetooth audio devices/profiles are missing after logging in from GDM To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/1703415/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
