i would like pulseaudio to automatically load a module named module-bluetooth-discover, rather then executing pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover each time after the system boots.

i removed the condition surrounding the loading of the module in pulseaudio configuration, but the result is the same.

$ cat /etc/pulse/default.pa | grep -i module-bluetooth-discover -B1 -A1
#.ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so
load-module module-bluetooth-discover
#.endif

i see no errors in /var/log/syslog. can one offer some assistance?

  • Are you using blueman? – Jeremy31 Sep 22 '15 at 11:29
  • @Jeremy31: i am. – Mr. Sep 22 '15 at 12:37
  • There may be more than one `default.pa`. Settings in `~/.pulse/default.pa` or `~/.config/pulse/default.pa` will override those in `/etc/pulse/default.pa` for a single user. See e.g. if you guest account sees your Bluetooth device to find out. – Takkat Sep 22 '15 at 12:55
  • @Takkat: i have only `default.pa` file. any other idea? – Mr. Sep 22 '15 at 13:31
  • Uninstall blueman and use Ubuntus bluetooth manager. Blueman is removing module-bluetooth-discover when it loads – Jeremy31 Sep 22 '15 at 14:15
  • @Jeremy31: can you please convert your comment to an answer, so we could close this issue? – Mr. Sep 29 '15 at 15:21

If you uninstall Blueman and use Ubuntu's Bluetooth Manager you can avoid having to manually load module-bluetooth-discover every boot

This was supposed to have been fixed in 1.23-git201406261335-deb-1ubuntu1 and it seems to work on my laptop but it is possible it only works because I uninstalled the original version I had before installing this version

  • Jeremy, Could you have a look [here](http://askubuntu.com/questions/673156/atheros-ar9485-wifi-disconnects-randomly) too? One of the mods needs help! **;-)** And then ping me in chat so I can remove this comment! **<:-)** – Fabby Sep 30 '15 at 18:00
  • What is Ubuntu's Bluetooth Manager? (I am using Xubuntu 14.04 with blueman.) – jarno Nov 26 '16 at 11:27
  • @jarno Ubuntu uses gnome bluetooth if I remember correctly. I think Ubuntu may have removed the fixed Blueman version from the repos. If you are using the AMD64 Xubuntu you can find the fixed blueman deb file [here](http://launchpadlibrarian.net/179296522/blueman_1.23-git201406261335-deb-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb) – Jeremy31 Nov 26 '16 at 12:36
  • I got the same from [ppa:cschramm/blueman](https://launchpad.net/~cschramm/+archive/ubuntu/blueman) – jarno Nov 26 '16 at 15:17
