[Bug 1274613] Re: module-bluetooth-discover does not load on login

 

After a recent update, Luke's solution no longer works for me. Trying to
load the module just gives me an error:

    ~$ sudo pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover
    Failure: Module initialization failed

and bluetooth never connects nor does any audio interface get
registered. This is really frustrating. Bluetooth worked perfectly in
10/12 and now almost doesn't work at all in 14. How could this regress
so badly?

Title:
  module-bluetooth-discover does not load on login

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The following lines appear in /etc/pulse/default.pa, which I have not
  modified:

  .ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so
  load-module module-bluetooth-discover
  .endif

  Expected: module-bluetooth-discover is loaded on login, as configured.

  Observed: pulseaudio's module-bluetooth-discover does not load on
  login. My system does not detect and set up sinks when I connect to
  Bluetooth devices (including an A2DP speaker and a headset).

  If I issue, in a terminal window:

  $ pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover 
  24

  …then the devices are detected and sinks set up correctly.

  $ lsb_release -rd && apt-cache policy pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
