[Impact]

Whenever I turn on my headphones they'll connect to my computer but I'm
able to hear the input audio from my microphone and low quality output
audio. I have to disconnect the headphones in the bluetooth devices and
reconnect for it to fix the problem.

[Test Case]

0. Set up your Bluetooth headphones with Ubuntu.
1. Turn off the headphones.
2. Turn on the headphones.
3. In Settings>Sound verify they have reconnected in A2DP mode (stereo, high quality, no microphone support).

[Regression Potential]

Low. Only the headset code path is affected and the fix has already been
released for some time in BlueZ 5.51 onward.
