Just moved from 15.04 to 16.04 and now bluetooth doesnt work properly: I can't connect my speakers as A2DP outputs. Apparently everyone is affected according to the forums, but no fix in sight.

Actually I can connect, but it requires multiple connections/disconnections before it works.

Question is: How to fix this issue? Does anybody know how to make A2DP work right after connecting Bluetooth device?

Here's dmesg with some mouse stuff in the middle, hope this help:

    Anyone has any idea when Canonical is going to sort this issue? I'm really pissed off by this regression, I think I'd prefer to install another distro than diving into bluetooth stuff AGAIN! plus acpi is not working correctly. 16.04 is really crap – djahma May 21 '16 at 15:34
  • Another distro may not help as the errors are coming from the kernel. A newer upstream kernel may fix the bluetooth but break other things – Jeremy31 May 21 '16 at 16:19
  • Thanks for the leading tip. I tested a few kernels with manjaro and the 4.x series appears to cause trouble, not just with bluetooth actually. So I moved to Mint 17.3 and its 3.19 kernel. Everything runs smoothly again now. – djahma May 30 '16 at 11:48

    Fiddling around with same problem, I found workaround. In Sound settings change the affected device settings to HSP/HFP > disconnect Bluetooth device > connect Bluetooth device again and change to A2DP in Sound setting. It temporarily solves same problem for me, it is only workaround, setting is lost after reboot, but at least I can enjoy A2DP. – Mike Jul 07 '16 at 09:55
  • AskUbuntu is a question and answer site, not a bugtracker. Please report your findings to Launchpad if you expect a canonical employee to provide a fix for the issue. – LiveWireBT Jul 07 '16 at 15:57
  • @LiveWireBT I edited this post to make it a question, not a fix request, there must be some clever way to automate the need to manually reconnect until A2DP is enabled. – Mike Jul 07 '16 at 23:29

    @Mike I made some notes when I had this problem which started in versions prior to 16.04 involving pactl to reload the modules, pacmd to set the profiles for the card and bluetoothctl with a here document to poweroff and re-pair, which didn't work so well, here are my notes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18747929/ – LiveWireBT Jul 08 '16 at 00:52
  • l had the same problem. See here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1574324

    What I did was to downgrade to bluetooth from wily, that works perfectly!
