I bought a bluetooth headphone that always works in my Android, but in my Ubuntu when I connect it and try to play any video, be it in youtube or a .mp4 opened locally, it won't play. If I disconnect the bluetooth, it plays. I discovered a ritual that needs to be done in order for the headphone to work:
I first connect the bluetooth, then I move its profile in sound settings from High Fidelity Playback to Headset Head Unit, and I click "Test Sound", play a sound an hear some noises. Then I disconnect the bluetooth and connect it again and change to High Fidelity Playback again and test the sound, now it works and I hear "front, left" when I test the sound. Then everything works fine.
Is there a way to fix it? It's very annoying to do it every time I disconnect from my PC.
UPDATE: even now that I updated to Zetsy it still have this same problem

Try this: I saw this somewhere, but I dont remember the source now.
hcitool dev - shows the mac of the bluetooth device You would need this to insert it later in the file below ( if not available, create it )
Another file ( if not available, create it )
This below command will fetch an user interface and many things can be done.
