Hi Daniel,
- Cambridge Silicon Radio dongles are historically unreliable. I found my Bluetooth devices were excessively buggy with them. And other people found the same. Try a different brand if you can. I have reverted back to Ubuntu 17.04 some minutes ago and the 3x bluetooth audio devices work again correctly, as they did before and as they do with my android devices. So I do not think, this is related to any hardware issue. I have then installed all the updates and that is stilll working. - Can you please check what audio profile you're using in sound settings for Bluetooth? Make sure it is A2DP for the best quality. Not HSP/HFP. Is the problem just the wrong profile defaulting? The only available profile was A2DP in 17.10, which I already used. HSP/FSP did not appear in the list. ----------- I also tested form an USB with 17.10 for installation, same issues. I think I am not doing any other actions, as my immediate incident is solved by reverting to the former version. I hope the actual problem get fixed until next Ubuntu stable release. Best regards, Carlos Blanquer Bogacz _______________________________________ 水に流す mizu ni nagasu : let us flow in the water On 18 December 2017 at 11:45, Daniel van Vugt <daniel.van.v...@canonical.com > wrote: > A few ideas come to mind: > > - Cambridge Silicon Radio dongles are historically unreliable.
