After you switch back to A2DP and the microphone is still available, does it keep the higher audio quality (even while running Skype) or does it degrade back to low quality? My understanding is that it would have to degrade, and that's probably not a bug.
If it doesn't degrade while using the mic then that's great. I have no idea how it's meant to work in that case. It might then be time to start talking to the experts and log the issue here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=PulseAudio ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1711087 Title: ad2p sink profile mic not available Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have a bose soundsport bluetooth headset. When I select the ad2p sink profile there is no microphone available. Only with the HSP profile my microphone is available. It's really annoying to have to switch between profiles to make a call or to listen to normal quality music.
