I have the same issue since updating to 16.04 :( I have found a consistent way to get A2DP profile working - but it has to be done on every reconnect :(
I switch to HSP/HFP - and sound works. Then I stop ALL sound.. and disconnect bluetoothe device, reconnects bluetoothe device, and then switch profile to a2dp(sink) - and ONLY then, can I start the music again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1438510 Title: [REGRESSION] bluetooth headset no longer supports a2dp in 16.04 xenial and 16.10 yakkety Status in PulseAudio: Unknown Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in bluez source package in Vivid: Won't Fix Status in pulseaudio source package in Vivid: Won't Fix Bug description: Just installed 15.04 fresh from the latest ISO (beta2). I'm bummed to see my bluetooth headset (Bose Soundlink overear) seems to have regressed in functionality. In 14.10, I was able to set the output profile either to a2dp or hsp/hfp (telephony duplex). In 15.04, it only works in telephony duplex mode. I can't get high fidelity sound playback to work at all. This thread seems to be related, though the workaround within did not solve the problem for me: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=194006 The bug is still present in 16.04 LTS and 16.10.
