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

Tue May 30 16:21:00 UTC 2017

Finally solved, 

It is indeed a gdm3 bug, the #805414 seems a good candidate, 

I modified /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 attached ( needed only if using gdm3) 
and modified /etc/pulse/default.pa (same) 

I also prevented pulseaudio to load under gdm3 according to this: https://wiki.debia n.org/BluetoothUser/a2dp 

The odd thing is that without all of this my other headphones where connecting a2dp straight. 

However

Hello, 

Here I attached logs regarding an attempt(s) to use A2dp. 
there are also pulseaudio log attached as I am investigating it too. 
I switched harddrives from machines, it worked for a bit then refused to switch to a2dp again :/ 

Continuing to investigate,

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

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or 
ineffective)? 

Tried all the fix for such bug shown on the internet 

* What was the outcome of this action? 

unsuccessful
