On 17.10, when I connect a Bluetooth device (be it a speaker JBL Go or a headphone MDR-ZX220BT), it is set to HSP/HPF by default.

Moreover, when I try to switch to A2DP with the menu from sound settings of the device in gnome control center, nothing happens.

For the switch to a2dp sink to work, I have to use a script I found, called a2dp.py. Which is simply running pacmd set-card-profile #index a2dp_sink (and this is not always working)

How to make these devices use a2dp by default ?

A second related question, is how to disconnect a Bluetooth device simply without going into gnome control center > Bluetooth > mydevice > disconnect. From the top right menu like it was possible in 17.04, for example. I can't find a gnome shell extension for that.

    This is worse with 18.04 as the mentionned script does not help anymore. What I have to do now is disconnect and reconnect the bluetooth device. – solsTiCe Jul 21 '18 at 15:27
  • As for your second question, I use blueman-applet in panel, but this is in Xfce. – jarno Apr 19 '19 at 04:03
  • I am using a gnome-shell extension "Bluetooth Quick Connect". That's handy and that's how I quickly disconnect-reconnect to get A2DP now – solsTiCe Apr 19 '19 at 07:21

  • On 19.04, the problem is still there. Now, I am switching off and on the bluetooth device with a gnome shell extension in the menu. I don't think that related answer as any solution. I have not tried all of them, but the solutions do not apply most of the time – solsTiCe May 11 '19 at 06:57
