I run with the same problem with my bluetooth speaker. Everytime I pair it to my computer, GNOME Sound Setings defaults it to HSP/HSF and it doesn't even register when I select A2DP, leaving me only with HSP/HSF and its terrible sound quality.

The problem is that Once it connects, it should use A2DP and become default device because I am using it from KODI and it is very inconvenient to set it from command line. Otherwise HSP is providing very bad quality audio. There is no way to set a default action, and system does not retain the last set setting. Eg. I can go and set the headphones to use A2DP but when I connect next time, it switches back to HSP. (I believe it could remember the device from the device id at least!) I asked about this on launchpad answers and somebody closed it and said I should report it as a bug. If you think this shouldn't have been reported as a bug, blame the person who closed my question at launchpad answers :) Below is the link to it and more information and the ugly workaround I implemented in my system: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/288799 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1559245/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
