Can you specify which versions of BlueZ and PulseAudio you're using? Also, please check: a. which modules are loaded during the issue by doing "pactl list modules" or similar. b. which bluetooth devices BlueZ registers on D-Bus: "test-device list"/"bluez-test-device list" or similar. You can alternatively use a tool such as d-feet. Cheers, Mikel
