Public bug reported: As currently set up in Ubuntu 16.04, when an audio device connects via bluetooth, it starts being used by programs automatically. However, the sound applet still "points to" the previously selected audio output. Therefore, changing the volume has no immediate audible effect.
The way to change that, currently, is to go to Sound settings, select the bluetooth device as current output (again?), and then the volume will change. I would expect that, when a bluetooth device is connected, it starts being used, *and* changing the volume immediately will affect the bluetooth device. I googled a bit, and people have suggested [1] that the file /etc/pulse/default.pa should contain load-module module-switch-on- connect before the volume is restored. My installation does not have that line, but it does have: ### Should be after module-*-restore but before module-*-detect load-module module-switch-on-port-available According to [1], maybe this should be listed in that file *before* the aforementioned module-*-restore lines.
