PRECONDITIONS:
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Connect the phone to a bluetooth device (in my case, my car stereo)
Play a song (either local or online)
Hear nothing cause sound is actually not working
EXPECTED RESULTS:
To be able to play songs (or better, audio in general) over bluetooth
ACTUAL RESULTS:
Audio over bluetooth is not working for media, you can only do phone calls, but no other audio is working
MODIFICATIONS:
Patchmanager: no
OpenRepos: yes
Chum: yes
Other: none specified
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Itâs a regression, but canât say from when cause i flashed my xa2 with sailfish 4.4 last year and it wasnât already working. Anyway itâs clearly a regression cause audio itâs working perfectly fine on my j1, which should be at sf 3.2
Please fix it cause in my opinion itâs a serious issueâŚ

It may help to renew the pairing of the phone.
Plus, I sometimes experienced the problem that the phone was muted and lifting car audio volume wouldnât work but changing the phone volume seperately (yes, that simple, really:-))
Tried pairing again multiple times, and also adjusting the volume, with no luck at all. Even tried changing the device settings on the phone, with no luck at all.
The stereo always say âsearchingâ as if itâs still searching for an audio stream, while the audio plays silently on the phone.
will try, but itâs not i canât pair my device, i can do that and succesfully make a call, itâs just i canât listen to other audios (eg. songs or videos)
I have also problem with bluetooth. It shows connected, but no sound from headphones. pactl does not list bluetooth. Unpairing and finding it works every time, but only one time. Sometimes I have managed working few time. Reseting with utilities does not help, only unpairing. Quite irritating. Before update it worked flawessly.
Now when I tried almost everything, toggling bluetooth off the on letâs you connect first try, but still something wrong. But easier than unpairing and repairing.
Maybe something to do with pulseaudio, because pactl doesnât list bluetooth, while it is connected.
Nah, toggling didnât work that well either. Back to unpairing/pairing.
Thanks for the logs and also for the ZD ticket, however this seems to be quite isolated case. I canât reproduce this and seems that others havenât seen this kind of problem where only media audio doesnât work via BT. Would be interesting to know if someone else have this problem on their device with 4.5.0.18.
btw. do you happen to have several BT devices you could try the audio routing, would be good to know if this happens with several BT devices or with just one?
Sooo, just tried with a pair of sony headphones and they work flawlessy, i guess at this point itâs just my car radio which is an Alpine, maybe you want to know the exact model?
Edit: i forgot to mention that everything was perfectly working on androidâŚ
It seems that it donât remember codecs when pairing because asks these same questions again, but not always. It can be this AVRCP or A2DP, HFP etc. Donât know if this have nothing to do with this problem. Sometimes sound works without accepting these or not.
Still only thing that always works is unpairing/pairing.
Anectotal evidence only but I donât agree with the âisolated caseâ assessment.
Pairing with car kits has been wonky in all kinds of ways, including sometimes the one described here, for a looong time (3.1 and up at least), and across devices (had it with two X10s and an X10iii).
