[Bug 1283003] Re: [Bluetooth + 14.04] Bluetooth headsets are not working after last couple of updates

Hi David,
Have installed the new bluemantest from the ppa and for me it works. Thank you.

It works in the same way that editing the Pulseaudio.py file worked as specified by Hartmut. I.e. there are quirks (specified in post #81) to navigate to actually get the sound routed to the headphones, it's not simply a case of connecting the headphones and everything else is seamless.
In particular, 
i) even after pairing/trusting the headphones in blueman I couldn't select the A2DP profile (pulseaudio[1926]: [pulseaudio] module-bluetooth-device.c: Profile not connected, refused to switch profile to a2dp; pulseaudio[1926]: [pulseaudio] module-bluetooth-device.c: Default profile not connected, selecting off profile) until I ran Setup for the headset in blueman
ii) had to manually select the headset in Sound Settings
iii) selecting the headset (Output tab) in Sound Settings caused A2DP to switch Off
iv) switching A2DP back on in blueman showed A2DP assigned in Sound Settings (Output tab) UNTIL I went into the Input tab to select the headphones there and then A2DP dropped out in the Output tab. Selecting A2DP after the headset was selected in both Output and Input tabs allowed things to work as required.


@Kiori

Indeed. In my case the irony is that without blueman (which I originally
didn't have installed) I couldn't get the headset to work at all. So
despite blueman having problems of its own it has actually helped to
resolve my problem to the extent where I can actually use the headset
albeit by going around the houses.
