Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
Release: 14.04
$ unity-control-center sound

I have two bluetooth audio devices, an external speaker and an car audio dongle. While both offer the same protocols only the second shown the Modus Selector in sound settings.

Expected:
Modus Selector is always shown for a bt audio device

Actual:
Modus Selector is shown depending in a unknown property of the device. My best guess is that it depends on the order of the protocols reported by the device.

Hint:
$ pacmd set-card-profile $INDEX a2dp
where $INDEX is the index of the bluez_card, switches and shows the selector. Nevertheless the selector disappears again after switching back to Handsfree,

Attached is the output of sdptools records for both devices.

Bugfix:
Attached is also a script called a2dp_all which calls the above mentioned command for all bluez cards.

Hello,

sorry for the delay, but I had to get an USB BT Dongle, as my internal
BT adapter need a Kernel Patch to work.
Result:
- Bug can be reproduced with USB BT Dongle on 14.04.
- Bug can *not* be reproduced with live cd (vivid-desktop-amd64.iso)

Best regards,
Lubensius

Christopher, as there is a work-around by a shell command, please close
