This is not my system, so I cannot debug a lot. Linux kernel 5.4.x is used, and Linux logs hci related messages, and bluetoothd also segfaults. (Ubuntu noticed the crash, and should have uploaded the resulting dumps.)
What fixed it was using `a2dp.py`: ``` $ curl "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/pylover/d68be364adac5f946887b85e6ed6e7ae/raw/install.sh"; | sh % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 314 100 314 0 0 664 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 670 % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 11977 100 11977 0 0 27402 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 27470 a2dp installation was successfull.

In Debian sid/unstable with GNOME Shell 41.2 and *gnome-bluetooth* 3.34.5-4, there is one more row in the audio settings allowing to set up some codecs. After changing that around, it finally works. Ubuntu probably needs something similar.
