[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#863603: bluez: a2dp not working

[gregory bahde]

Package: bluez
Version: 5.43-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
I acquired a JBL Go bluetooth speaker.
It works only in headsetmode on one of my computers (both running stetch, the
other one is running this speaker wih a2dp fine)

I tried different dongles (different chips) and they all don't allow me to use
a2dp, only HSP  with this speaker.

I own another bluetooth device and it connects with a2dp fine.


journalctl gives me this:

mai 29 09:42:11 GoonieB gnome-settings-[1856]: Unable to get default sink
mai 29 09:42:11 GoonieB gnome-settings-[1856]: gvc_mixer_card_get_index:
assertion 'GVC_IS_MIXER_CARD (card)' failed

AND THEN

kernel: Bluetooth: hci0 SCO packet for unknown connection handle 71
mai 29 09:42:16 GoonieB gnome-control-c[6529]: Device did not have an
appropriate card
