Hello,

Since Version 2.1.1 the Jolla 1 Phone doesn't do audio via bluetooth anymore. It pairs, it shows that A2DP is supported, but it plays audio files via internal speakers.

This problem persists in 2.1.2.

For myself I've found a solution by modifying the file /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf from

...
[General]
#Enable=Gateway
...

to

...
[General]
Enable=Gateway,Source
...

I am not sure that this is the correct way to fix the mentioned problem. I consider myself a Linux noob , so please tell me what's the correct way to enable A2DP on Jolla 1 again.

Greetings

FWIW, on my JP1 on 2.1.2 it also reads #Enable=Gateway. No problems with A2DP, including earlier versions.

I can also confirm that bluetooth audio is working with #Enable=Gateway command in audio.conf file (Jolla1).

Thanks to you @nop, Jolla Tablet bluetooth audio problem was solved by commenting line Disable=Headset,Gateway in the same file :)

So I've to relativize my statement: A2DP didn't work for me anymore :) My bluetooth audio receiver is a small computer running bluez5+pulseaudio connected to my amplifier. It provides DID (0x0012, Device Identification), AVRCP (0x110C, Remote Control Target), and A2DP (0x110D, Audio Sink). Unfortunately I've no other bluetooth audio device to compare with, but maybe I've forgotten to provide some service/profile which would have made the Jolla playing through the air in the first place.

Thanks for this, it seems to fix a problem I've had on the Jolla 1 with the carkit on my Peugeot 107.

The phone wouldn't send sound to the car speakers since the upgrade to 2.1.2 (or maybe even 2.1.0), now seems to work as before.
