Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 16.04.1 64-bit. DELL E7450 laptop, connected to an LG HBS900
headset.
1. Pair the headset
2. All Settings -> Sound, set the mode to High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink)
(otherwise the sound is horrible)
3. Test, ensure "Front Left" and "Front Right" sound as they should.
4. Disconnect the headset via the Bluetooth indicator in the system tray.
5. Connect the headset to another device and play audio through it (I took a
call).
6. Connect back the headset to the laptop.
7. Attempt to play audio, say in SMPlayer.
No audio comes through. SMPlayer doesn't advance the seek button.
8. Run `pulseaudio --kill`.
9. Reconnect the headset a bunch of times.
10. In Settings -> Sound, try to set the mode to High Fidelity. Only the
Headset mode worked, with mono sound. When I'd change the value to High
Fidelity, the active sound device moved to the internal sound card.
After a couple more reconnections, I could finally get A2DP sound again.
However, the sound SKIPS randomly a couple times a minute (bug 405294).
Playing the exact same MP3 with the exact same player (SMPlayer) on
Kubuntu 16.04.1 doesn't reproduce this problem, despite presumably using
the same Bluetooth stack.
Super frustrating.
