A2DP sink nowhere to be found

phaedo7 · 2021-07-04 17:10:09

Hello,

I am running arch linux with bspwm. I have tried a lot in past (with different distros than Arch as well) to connect bluetooth earbuds (Marshall Mode II). I recently brought a BT dongle (TP-Link UB400 ) with the hope to get connected. Now it does connect but there is no sound. Here are the steps I took to connect

1. Get the MAC address from blueberry because I cant seem to find the device in bluetoothctl.
2. Perform these actions in bluetoothctl:

 
default-agent
power on
scan on
trust MAC_AD
pair MAC_AD
connect MAC_AD

The device gets connected successfully. Then I got to pavucontrol to change output device, but I dont see my BT device there. Going through arch forums I got the idea of changing audio profile to A2DP. I look in pavucontrol> Configuration> Profile but I see no A2DP profile (unless it is named something else). The I tried:

 pacmd set-card-profile 0 a2dp_sink

I get the error

 No such profile: a2dp_sink

I also tried

 pactl list | grep A2DP

But I see no matching search.

I am not sure whats going on. I am also not very sure if audio profile is the problem here. Any help would be appreciated
