Hi all, blueman maintainer here. I understand this is not 100 % a blueman problem, but blueman is definitely having its part.
As you found out, there is a blueman applet plugin that unloads pulseaudio's bluetooth-discover module and handles devices manually. The original author let me know that this is due to pulseaudio (the discovery module especially) not working well back then. For more details see https://github.com/blueman-project/blueman/issues/64 I've prepared a blueman version without that pulseaudio applet plugin, but still including the manager plugin. That one is responsible for selecting the A2DP profile. Although there are other ways to do this (e.g. PulseAudio Volume Control as mentioned above), it seems like this is a useful feature to some users. You can test the changes using the following PPA: https://launchpad.net/~cschramm/+archive/blueman The code can be found in the nopahandling branch: https://github.com/blueman-project/blueman/tree/nopahandling Cheers -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1283003 Title: [Bluetooth + 14.04] Bluetooth headsets are not working after last couple of updates Status in Blueman - Bluetooth Manager: Confirmed Status in “blueman” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gnome-bluetooth” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Hi, I found a bug in Ubuntu 14.04 ! I tried to pair a bluetooth stereo headset (A2DP compatible). The pairing process goes well, but after that I can't select it on the audio preferences. When I select it, it only shows the last selected item options and don't do anything. (he should switch to the headset output). I must mention that it worked very well on Ubuntu 12.04. This bug can be in the bluetooth stack or in unity-control-center or maybe pulseaudio. I actually have no idea.
