For those approaching the issue from afresh it looks like HSP/HFP shares functionality with bluetooth modems rather than solely audio. As such there's a disagreement between pulseaudio who are only interested in the audio parts, ofono who deals with the modem parts and the bluetooth stack (bluez) who connect the to the hardware.
The issue came about as support was dropped (assuming someone else would pick it up) as pulse audio and bluez went to later versions. It hasn't been resolved because no one wants to ether deal with the other part, or have another abstraction layer to switch between modem and audio functionality -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576559 Title: Refused to switch profile to headset_head_unit: Not connected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/1576559/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
