Filed the same bug report (at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1164412) and was asked to file an upstream report:

Description of problem:
Using Jabra Revo (bluetooth) Wireless Headphones, I cannot get the "High Fidelity" / A2DP mode to stick as the default. Actually, the it seems like the cinnamon-settings-daemon is making it where my headset will not even connect by default! Basically, when I start from a clean slate (steps following), the headset will connect and will reconnect fine, as long as I don't start up the cinnamon-settings-daemon - Once I do, my headset will not connect until I manually select it each time from then on out.

Steps I'm using to get to a clean slate:

  • rm -rf ~/.pulse; rm -rf ~/.config/pulse
  • sudo systemctl restart bluetooth
  • pulseaudio -k (and make sure it respawns)

When I try to connect/reconnect my headset, the following are the defaults in the files under ~/.config/pulse/*default-[sink|source] files:

  • Clean slate:
    17:31:38 [richard.hefner@RichardHefT440 ~/.config/pulse] # cat 895c007c7a794915a98c4b505f7a1781-default-s*
    alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo
    alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo

And I see the following in the logs:
/etc/gdm/Xsession[1865]: (cinnamon-settings-daemon:14167): media-keys-plugin-WARNING **: Unable to get default sink

--- Before powering on my headset, I need to also do a 'power on' in 'bluetoothctl'..?

The only thing here is that the headset is not in A2DP mode and it sounds terrible.

Up to this point, I can connect/reconnect my bluetooth headphones and at least SOMETHING will come out of them. Once I go into the "Sound Settings" using cinnamon, then I cannot reconnect my headphones successfully.

  • Then, once I select A2DP, the following pops up:
    /etc/gdm/Xsession[1865]: (cinnamon-settings-daemon:14167): media-keys-plugin-WARNING **: Unable to get default sink

And, monitoring the pulseaudio default-sink/default-source when I have A2DP enabled on my headset and I get the following:

---snip---
bluez_sink.34_DF_2A_0C_F2_0D
alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo
---snip---

When I disconnect/reconnect after this point, it stays as the following - No matter what I've done so far!

---snip---
17:43:04 [richard.hefner@RichardHefT440 ~] # cat ~/.config/pulse/895c007c7a794915a98c4b505f7a1781-default-s*
alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo
alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo
---snip---

So, I set these as default in /etc/pulseaudio/default.pa, but this seems to have no effect:

---snip---
set-default-sink bluez_sink.34_DF_2A_0C_F2_0D
set-default-source alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo
---snip---

I didn't have an '/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf' file, but I made one with the following (not sure if this is even used):

---snip---
[General]
Disable=Socket
Disable=Headset
AutoConnect=true
HFP=false

[A2DP]
SBCSources=1
MPEG12Sources=0
---snip---

I loaded the 'module-switch-on-connect' module and disabled 'module-switch-on-port-available' .. I tried with both enabled, that didn't help.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

17:43:30 [richard.hefner@RichardHefT440 ~/.config/pulse] # rpm -qa | grep cinnamon-settings-daemon
cinnamon-settings-daemon-2.4.3-1.fc21.x86_64

How reproducible:

I can't get it to not reproduce, no matter what I do. I'm wondering if this is just a configuration issue? Maybe I'm missing something.

Steps to Reproduce:

See above

Actual results:

Headset fails to connect in either the low audio quality mode or A2DP.. I have to manually select it each time, then it works until I disconnect and have to reconnect later on.

Expected results:

A2DP should automatically connect once the headset is powered on ... Actually, the headset should automatically switch upon connection but also default to A2DP.

Seems like I have the same issues.
Buggy connection to bluetooth headphones.

I can confirm the same issue. Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon... Bluetooth connects to my headphones. I hear low-quality/degraded audio using the HEADSET HEAD UNIT (HSP/HFP) setting. When I switch to HIGH FIDELITY PLAYBACK (A2DP SINK), the device setting switches back to the internal speakers and the output profile switches back to HEADSET HEAD UNIT (HSP/HFP).

I did a re-installation of any package related to bluetooth and pulseaudio and the results remain the same.

Same for me for JBL Charge3
HSP/HFP works fine but switching to A2DP don't hear anything. I just made a dist-uprade (Linux Mint 18). Before dist-upgrade the channel switched to internal

I have this same problem with jbl earbuds and i solve by install

@rhefner are you still experiencing this issue?

@icarter09 I'm not using Cinnamon anymore. If nobody else experienced the issue, it's probably safe to close (~6y old)
