[Bug 1577197] Re: Pulseaudio bluez5-util.c: TryAcquire() failed - Operation Not Authorized

[lagerimsi]

Hi there!

still got this problem with the KDE Neon distribution based upon Ubuntu
16.04.

Solved this problem with a little shell-script based on this thread:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/765233/pulseaudio-fails-to-set-card-
profile-to-a2dp-sink-how-can-i-see-the-logs-and

The script is attached.


FIRST OF ALL:
Change the devices MAC-address in the variable inside the script! (can be found with "bluetoothctl" --> Device)


- Made a "chmod a-x bluetooth_headphone_reactivation.sh" to make it executable.


For automatic execution _at startup_ (only works if headset is already turned on):

- Added the script to the start/shutdown scripts in KDEs' control panel


For fast manual execution:
- Added an entry to the application-starter (you can also set a keyboad shortcut like "CTRL+ALT+H" and/or pin this starter to the window bar)


** Attachment added: "kde bluetooth headphone set a2dp_sink profile script workaround"
