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?

  • 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.

  • Uninstall blueman and use Ubuntus bluetooth manager. Blueman is removing module-bluetooth-discover when it loads

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

  • What is Ubuntu's Bluetooth Manager? (I am using Xubuntu 14.04 with blueman.)

  • @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
