I went through the logs now and found the cause for what you see (no audio on local or remote side).
We have lock in place which should keep the stream inside pulseaudio up while we're not really streaming anything through it as this completely done in software. However in your case the lock doesn't seem to be set ever. On my side I am getting the following line Mar 2 08:28:37 ubuntu-phablet pulseaudio[2142]: [pulseaudio] module- bluez5-device.c: Set bluetooth.hsp.prevent.suspend.transport true (ret 1) in my syslog however in your case I can't really fine it. This is quite essential for the audio setup to work properly. Will do some more investigation to see if I find a reason for this. ** Also affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Simon Fels (morphis) ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Critical -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1546310 Title: In CAR bluetooth not working Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have paired my phone with my car as always (connection did work in the past). Connection runs as expected and everything like display, phone book, ... but this evening I wanted to place a call from my car and it did not work. I was then also not able to take a call (I could not hear the conterpart and the counterpart could not hear me). Since yesterday I am on: current build number: 259 device name: krillin channel: ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/bq-aquaris.en last update: 2016-02-16 12:09:18 version version: 259 version ubuntu: 20160216 version device: 20160108-efc96d8 version custom: 20160111-926-36--vivid With OTA9 I did not have the issue. I have attached my logs. I have enabled the following bug-settings for bluetooth: sudo sed -i 's/exec \/usr\/sbin\/bluetoothd/exec \/usr\/sbin\/bluetoothd -d/g' /etc/init/bluetooth.conf sudo sed -i 's/--start/--start --log-level=debug/g' /usr/share/upstart/sessions/pulseaudio.conf I have modified the line in ofono.override to: exec ofonod -P -d provision,udev*,dun*,smart*,hfp_bluez5,stktest,sap I hope my reporting helps to trace down this issue.
