Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1313092
Unable to change sound output to bluetooth headset using GUI
Last modified: 2016-12-20 14:08:50 EST
Description of problem: After the bluetooth headset has been successfully paired and connected, in some cases the output sound comes from the laptop speaker instead of the headset device. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Release : 1.fc23 HP ProBook 4730s laptop MEElectronics Air-Fi Matrix2 AF62 bluetooth headset How reproducible: Possibly not deterministic. One has to switch from headset to speakers and back to experience the problem. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Bluetooth. 2. Select the headset device. 3. Turn it on/off multiple times. Actual results: The output sound device does not change. The sounds comes from the laptop speaker. Expected results: The sound should switch between headset and laptop speakers. Additional info: When the problem is encountered, the sound profile for the headset in the Sound application can not be changed anymore. There is only one choice. When the switching of the output sound device works, there are two profiles, High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink) and Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP). Workaround: pacmd set-card-profile 1 a2dp_sink Note that the above correct value of the card index [ 1 ], as well as the correct profile [ a2dp_sink ] can be found using pacmd list-cards. The command pacmd list-sinks does not list the headset device when the problem occurs, therefore one has to use the pacmd list-cards.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
