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.
