Bluetooth Headphones Establish Connection But Isn't Listed in Audio Devices












1















I know there is a temporary solution but I can no longer find it.



I've successfully paired my bluetooth headset/earbuds to my computer which is running Ubuntu 14.04, but it does not show up in the Audio Devices list.



Is there a permanent solution to this problem, or some way to fix this?

  • It will appear in the audio devices list but only when I run this script "pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover" This is only a temporary fix however.

If you're using blueman (and it sounds like you do), try utopic's version. Your issue is discussed in #1283003.
