Bluetooth speaker doesn't show up in output devices list

  • 772

I'm trying to get my bluetooth speaker working with Ubuntu 16.04 Gnome. It connects but doesn't show up in sound output devices list.

I've tried few suggestions

sudo -i pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover

Output:

Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused
16.04

  1. I had the same issue. In this post is pointed this solution.

    Basically, you have to create/edit the file /var/lib/gdm3/.config/pulse/client.conf

    And add the following configuration lines

    autospawn = no daemon-binary = /bin/true

    And give to GDM the ownership

    sudo chown gdm:gdm /var/lib/gdm3/.config/pulse/client.conf

    Retart GDM and it is solved
