Worked like a charm on ubuntu 19.10! Thanks! 👍
Dude!!! this thing worked like a charm on my Ubuntu 18.04....had been trying to listen to audio using my headphones for a week but had no success until this. Thank You! :)
Thanks @pylover your python script is working fine on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Laptop I was facing problem with my Mivi Roam Bluetooth speaker. It seems Ubuntu update for 18.04 LTS has bug as I am start getting problem after applying updates.
I have done small tweak in your script shebang, in your python script shebang has this line: #! /usr/bin/env python3.5
whereas I am using python 3.6 and same is mentioned in my shell envoirnment so I have changed the shebang line in your script to #! /usr/bin/env python3.6
which worked fine for me and fixed the Bluetooth issue in my system. Thanks once again :)
Worked well with Elementary OS.

A useful workaround for the missing audio profile bug in blueman after upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04. Thank you so much 🙏
Ah thanks. it's useful and works like a charm. OS Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS 64 bit

Exiting bluetoothctl
This is on a freshly installed Linux Mint 20.1
Hmm on my machine a2dp was not available (in the pulse audio volume tool it was listed, but listed as "not available"
I found a post that helped me:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure bluez
sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base
The Installation script is ready for those who can't copy and set the executable flag of a file in Linux. So just do:
curl "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/pylover/d68be364adac5f946887b85e6ed6e7ae/raw/install.sh" | sh

The headset would be connected in Bluetooth manager successfully, but the audio interface wouldn't appear. Turns out, the only supported by the device protocol is not immediately available in my debian 10 KDE. However, based on this reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/Jabra/comments/j5489d/if_you_use_jabra_earbuds_with_linux_you_need_to I've found that someone has made a package integrating this stuff - available in https://github.com/EHfive/pulseaudio-modules-bt. The package is deprecated as maintainer now switched to PipeWire (and it supports the codec), but I've built pulseaudio-modules-bt
and installed it on my debian, and it still works perfectly.
Someone even made an installer here https://github.com/lagerimsi-ds/debian-buster_bluetooth_aptX-LDAC, but use it with caution.
I'm getting this failure:
Ignoring: Command: pacmd list-sink-inputs | grep "index:" failed with status: 1
stderr:
Running that command gives:
$ pacmd list-sink-inputs
0 sink input(s) available.
The headset is connected, ubuntu settings show the headset selected with a2dp sink, but the sound continues to come out of my speakers that are connected by traditional audio cable to my sound card.
Already tried in various version of kubuntu and always did the trick. Thank you for sharing!
Cara muito obrigado, resolvido aqui! Se eu tivesse dinheiro para te pagar pela solução eu te mandaria, mas só tenho gratidão para lhe dar. Muito obrigado!
@rvelascop, Glad.
You are welcome, man!
Open source is about sharing everything—no money needed. We're helping each other to make a better world.
bro tnx for it. but it is required to run this script everytime i connect the earbuds..is there any other way that i can permanently solve this?

fix-bt.py
script is already available in this page, Thanks to https://github.com/Mihara.
@pylover actually brother, i am fully newbee to linux and also in github... i don't know anything about running scripts..so can you please guide me to run that file?
bro how to uninstall this program?
@aniruddha564 All the installation does is to create the file /usr/local/bin/a2dp.py
. This file will do nothing unless you explicitly call it somehow, e.g. from a terminal:
$ a2dp.py
Or from some other launcher like a custom keyboard shortcut.
If you wish to uninstall it, you could do so from the terminal with:
$ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/a2dp.py
@samds49 mine is very simmilar:

This is on a freshly installed Linux Mint 20.1
I got the same issue linux mint 21.3 nothing has changed eh, the a2dp unfixes the fix when you use
sudo dpkg-reconfigure bluez
sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base
For example, right now I have sound and it works. Then I do a2dpy, and the following happens.
kreijstal@kreijstalnuc:~$ pactl list sinks short

huh, so now I can not do audio calls? but before I could :(
i just need to start pipewire service locally, not glboally, so no pulseaudio, right, systemctl --user status pipewire
should fix pactl lists not being available, right?
so everytime I restarted pactl list was unavailable because pipewire pulseaudio was masked,
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --reinstall pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-audio-client-libraries
after this noo other tricks ever worked and audio never worked again and I gave up, I could uninstall and reinstall pulseaudio but I cant bother.
I kinda solved it, these were the steps...
upgraded to latest version pipewire ppa
remove blueman
edit /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf
~$ cat /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf

mv .config/systemd to .config/systemd.backup

install wireplumber
sudo rm /etc/systemd/user/pipewire-media-session.service

systemctl --user start wireplumber.service

It's either stuck on headset-head-unit or a2dp-sink, only with wireplumber, things worked before, but oh well. omg
so I rebooted and sound was gone again, and I perfomed my daily ritual of trying random commands to see what sticks to the wall, I dont like casting
sudo dpkg-reconfigure bluez
sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base
but it seems in this case that did the trick along with other things.. let's see if it survives this reboot,
everything was fixed with Mint 22. Finally.
Thanks. It stereo works now for me
