Bug Description
When I connect my Sony SRS-X1 Bluetooth speaker to Ubuntu, it only plays back as "mono" and refuses to use "hi fidelity".
I have Windows 10 installed on the same laptop and when I've used the Bluetooth speaker in Ubuntu, Windows will "forget" the speaker on its Bluetooth list. I have to hold in the "reset" button on the speaker itself and re-add the speaker to Windows 10. This ONLY HAPPENS if I try using this speaker in Ubuntu, which suggests that Ubuntu is forcing the speaker into "mono" mode and Windows then sees it as a different device?????
Please help.
I will post all needed outputs as instructed.
Cheers!

Bluetooth profile selection and generally all bluetooth audio issues are actually the domain of PulseAudio. Which is surprising at first...
