Update: I had success by following #15 from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1181106.
What's new was modifying audio.conf with these lines: [General] Enable = Source,Sink,Headset,Gateway,Control,Media Disable = Socket HFP=false [A2DP] SBCSources=1 MPEG12Sources=0 And running: pactl load-module module-switch-on-connect Not entirely sure which part solved it. I note that disabling "socket" contradicts my last post. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-bluetooth in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1283003 Title: [Bluetooth + 14.04] Bluetooth headsets are not working after last couple of updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blueman/+bug/1283003/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
