Bluetooth device profile is set to off everytime at restart

Hi all,
       Whenever I restart my device and connect to the bluetooth device, the profile for bluetooth device is set to off.

Running the command takes cares of the problem but is there a way around.
pacmd set-card-profile 2 a2dp_sink

Also, after running this command I have to go to the Playback tab and select the bluetooth device manually. Any way to fix this.

Thanks a ton in advance,

Re: Bluetooth device profile is set to off everytime at restart

a2dp sink should already be the default. Maybe try adding restore_bluetooth_profile=true to the  module-card-restore line in your /etc/pulse/default.pa though it should not be necessary.

Do you happen to use GDM? I'd assume that might have a hand in failing the initial profile selection.

FWIW regardless if you want your active streams to switch to the headset automatically you need to add

load-module module-switch-on-connect

before the if udev-detect line in /etc/pulse/default.pa
