I use bluetooth a lot and it works very well with respect to seeing my devices (headphones, phone, etc) and quickly connecting automatically. However, with headphones, whenever I reconnect there is a 60-70% the audio profile of the headset will change from High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink) to Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP), which is much worse and low quality. Not only will it switch to HSP/HFP without prompt, but the profile for A2DP itself is no longer shown as an option on the menu.
The workaround is the same one I used on Ubuntu, actually, and it is simply disconnecting my device via the bluetooth tray icon and immediately reconnecting. Almost always it will connect with the correct audio profile on the second time.
Figuring this out would be really nice given it's such a small, but consistent, annoyance I (and probably many others) experience on a daily basis.
