bluetooth fails to pair with multiple devices in 17.10. Working fine with 16.04.

[Darin Miller]

Unable to pair bluetooth headphones and bluetooth speakers with following hw:

              *-usb:3
                   description: Bluetooth wireless interface
                   vendor: Intel Corp.
                   physical id: 5
                   bus info: usb@1:5
                   version: 0.01
                   capabilities: bluetooth usb-2.00
                   configuration: driver=btusb maxpower=100mA speed=12Mbit/s

The BT device (speaker/headphones) reports pairing success, but message from PC reports connection failure.

Pairing and connection work fine under 16.04.

Command line attempts also fail, i.e.

   sudo hcitool cc B8:AD:3E:10:E9:D7

On a second PC running 17.10, same BT headphones and speakers pair/work as expected.

I have the same issue after upgrading to 17.10

Here is my bluetooth device:

usb:0
                   description: Bluetooth wireless interface
                   product: CSR8510 A10
                   vendor: Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd
                   physical id: 2
                   bus info: usb@1:2
                   version: 88.91
                   capabilities: bluetooth usb-2.00
                   configuration: driver=btusb maxpower=100mA speed=12Mbit/s

I fixed it in my case by reinstalling pulseaudio and pulseaudio-module-bluetooth and restarting pulseaudio

This is very old, if this is still an issue please update the bug on a supported release.
