One more update. Using mainline kernel v5.8.1 from here: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.8.1/
There is a definite improvement in connectivity. However, the originally reported issue is still there, and I am getting these in my /var/log/syslog (w/ custom pulseaudio-module-bluetooth): sie 18 21:43:01 k-laptop pulseaudio[921]: Refused to switch profile to a2dp_sink_ldac: Not connected sie 18 21:43:13 k-laptop pulseaudio[921]: Refused to switch profile to a2dp_sink_sbc: Not connected sie 18 21:43:16 k-laptop pulseaudio[921]: Refused to switch profile to a2dp_sink_ldac: Not connected -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1891648 Title: Cannot switch to A2DP profile w/o restarting bluetooth.service [pulseaudio: Refused to switch profile to a2dp_sink: Not connected] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1891648/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
