I have the same issue with my Aventree Audition bluetooth headphone. After multiple trial and errors, it sounds like unloading both module-bluetooth-policy and module-bluetooth-discover, then reloading them *in this order*, could fix the problem : $ pactl unload-module module-bluetooth-policy $ pactl unload-module module-bluetooth-discover $ pactl load-module module-bluetooth-policy $ pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover
However, I have to do that each time I want to (re)connect the headphone, even if I do not restart pulseaudio, but I was not trying the PPA fix. NOTE: Since I was working on the issue before finding this bug report, I also try some various other fixes. I don't know in with proportion they are all needed or not.
