Bug Description
I have connected my Sony bluetooth headphones (WH-H900N (h.ear)) to my Linux Mint 19 Tara system. After the initial connection when I disconnect the headphones and reconnect them later on when I view the headphones with the blueman-applet and look at the Audio Profile it shows Off. If I try to play audio I get no sound in the headphones. If I select High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink) most of the time audio will play through the headphones. (Occasionally, the first time I select High Fidelity Playback it doesn't stick and I have to pick it again.)

bluez actually doesn't handle Bluetooth audio. That's handled by pulseaudio.
Can you please tell us the package version of pulseaudio you have?
