FUGOO Sport Bluetooth speaker defaults to lower quality (HSP/HFP) instead of higher quality (A2DP) sink

[Chris S.]

This seems identical to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1845046, but was suggested to open a new bug as the other one was closed.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

1. Please tell us the model of speaker you are having trouble with.

2. Please confirm that you can select higher quality mode in Settings, and that it works.

[Chris S. (cszikszoy)]

1) This is the speaker in question: http://fugoo.com.au/fugoo-sport.php
2) Confirm - I can select the higher quality audio profile by going to settings after the speaker is paired / connected.
