Saverio Miroddi (64kramsystem) wrote : Bluetooth headset doesn't play any sound (regression)

I have a Sennheiser MM 450-X headset.

In 15.10, connection & playback was straightforward.

In 16.04, the headset connects, and shows up as default playback device on `pavucontrol`, but there is no sound.

A functional workaround is to, after having connected it, to go the `Configuration` tab, and in the `Profile` dropdown, to choose `... HSP/HFP`, which will make them play as expected (but in low quality), then switch to `... A2DP Sink` (they will play in high quality).
