Bug Description
Issue with Sony MDR-1ABT Bluetooth headphones:
Once paired, the headphones will be connected automatically whenever they are switched on. However when connected this way, only the HSP/HFP profile will work and trying to change to A2DP in sound settings does nothing.
If the headphones are then manually disconnected and reconnected from Bluetooth settings, they will initially use HSP/HFP but then selecting A2DP in sound settings will successfully make them use A2DP.
