Description of problem: Switching headset to use A2DP instead of HSP/HFP fails. Sound testing A2DP displays headset as mono instead of stereo. Poor sound quality. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pulseaudio-8.0-6.fc24.x86_64 bluez-5.40-1.fc24.x86_64 (I had the same problem with FC23, prior to upgrading.) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Pair bluetooth headset 2. Go to Sound settings 3. Select headset 4. Select High Fidelity Playback (A2DP sink) 5. Click on Test Speakers Actual results: * Mono * Poor sound quality Expected results: * Stereo * Good sound quality Additional info: This can be worked around by either preventing GDM from starting its own pulseaudio instance or by preventing GDM's pulseaudio instance from loading the bluetooth modules (reboot required): $ su -s /bin/sh -c "sed '/.*ifexists.*bluetooth.*/,/.*endif.*/d' /etc/pulse/default.pa > ~gdm/.config/pulse/default.pa" gdm
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. 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 24 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 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Unfortunately this problem is still in f27 with following versions: pulseaudio-11.1-7.fc27.x86_64 bluez-5.48-1.fc27.x86_64 Workaround still helps. Thank you, Erwan!
