recover removed bluetooth sound device

By John Parsons

I have a bluetooth headset and it used to show up in sound settings before I accidentally clicked "turn off" or something like that. Now it won't show up when paired. No joy after reboot and re-pair.

It pairs fine with my ubuntu as well as with my phone, only one is connected at a time. It seems like the "turn off" filtered this device in some ALSA configs but grep returned nothing under /etc.

I had the same problem.

I solved it by removing all the files in ~/.pulse except client.conf.

I figured it out. In "Audio Settings", you can change the audio profile for your BT device. However, once you set it to "Off", which is what I did, BT audio device no longer shows up in "Audio Settings."

The simple solution is rather simple: blueman. Install via PPA and right click on your audio device and change audio profile back to not off.

I was facing the same problem, then after I solved this by uncommenting and change the line ControllerMode = dual to ControllerMode = bredr of main.conf file. You can open that file using sudo nano /etc/bluetooth/main.conf and then restart the bluetooth using sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart . you can follow this
