[Bug 1579482] [NEW] Ubuntu 16 Bluetooth speakers and earphones connections not connecting automatically and dropping

[garypeg]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 16 Bluetooth is not connecting automatically to both my bluetooth
speaker and earphones, as well as dropping the connection frequently.
To connect I have to use bluetooth manager.  The device connects.
However when you choose the device in sound settings there is no sound.
Then I have to choose Headset Unit vs A2DP and test for sound.  There is
sound.  But if I switch back to A2DP at that point, Sound settings moves
immediately to Built in Audio.  Then I close Sound Settings, disconnect
the device, reconnect it, go to Sound Settings, Chose the Device and
A2DP and there is sound, for a while.  Then I have to repeat the process
to get sound back.

My bluetooth mouth works perfectly.

I have purged and reinstalled bluetooth and pulse audio.
/etc/bluetooth/input.conf is blank.  I am not sure what else to report.
Please advise.
