[Bug 1707487] [NEW] Bluetooth speaker only plays as mono

[David]

Public bug reported:

When I connect my Sony SRS-X1 Bluetooth speaker to Ubuntu, it only plays
back as "mono" and refuses to use "hi fidelity".

I have Windows 10 installed on the same laptop and when I've used the
Bluetooth speaker in Ubuntu, Windows will "forget" the speaker on its
Bluetooth list. I have to hold in the "reset" button on the speaker
itself and re-add the speaker to Windows 10. This ONLY HAPPENS if I try
using this speaker in Ubuntu, which suggests that Ubuntu is forcing the
speaker into "mono" mode and Windows then sees it as a different
device?????

Please help.
I will post all needed outputs as instructed.

Cheers!
