Bug Description
Expectation: Bluetooth headphones attach with stereo sound on every connect.
Issue: only stereo after manual switch of settings on first pair. Reconnect only has mono connection.
Ubuntu 17.10 on a System76 Serval WS.
Mono audio with the Sony 1000XM2 bluetooth headphones is the default on first pairing and is the only option after turning off the bluetooth or headphones.
On a new pairing the default is HSP with mono audio. Manually I have to change to A2DP in the sound settings and I am able to have stereo sound. Disabling bluetooth or turning off the headphones followed by a connection will result in mono audio in HSP and switching to A2DP will also be mono.
Temporary Workaround: remove the headphones from the paired devices and pair again as a new device to get access to stereo sound again. This procedure has to be repeated on every reconnect.
