a2dp bluetooth problem on 14.04





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;

I have a pair of Bose AE2w headphones that initially connect fine with Bluetooth on 14.04. I can select the headphones and choose A2DP output, and everything works.



If the connection times out due to inactivity or from hibernation, and I reactivate the headphones, the Bluetooth connection is re-established, but A2DP does not work only HSP.



Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

  • I will try the suggestion that is in that post to see if it makes any difference, but it won't be a solution, because I have a headset, whereas the ...871 post is someone with a speaker. So, I want to be able to switch between a2dp and hsp depending on what I am doing.

  • After trying the "Disable=Heaset" setting from the suggested post, the a2dp option still does not work after a timeout.

  • I can't add an answer, so let me tell you here what worked for me: (1) install BLUEMAN (packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/blueman); (2) right click on the device + click "Audio Sink"; (3) after it confirms that the configuration went through, check the "Audio Profile"... In my case it already had the "A2DP" selected and working! ;)

I found this in other tread... it worked for me:



Had the same problem fixed it with:



pactl list cards short


to get the device id.
Then I did



pactl set-card-profile x a2dp


where X is your device id.



found it by reading
No A2DP streaming audio from 12.04 to Bluetooth headset

  • Missed the email that alerted me to this answer, but followed the recommendations in the link provided and also checked a couple of other answers under that question, but still no success. There is improvement in that if I disable the bluetooth connection to the headset in system settings, I can re-enable it later and have it work. But if it times out the connection or the connection is lost due to hibernation or suspension, then I still have to remove and re-pair the headset to get A2DP sound.
