  • Switch all connected PulseAudio bluetooth devices to A2DP profile

    Tries to switch all audio devices to the A2DP profile for optimal sound quality. Useful for bluetooth speakers and headphones that always power up in HSP/HFP mode. Note however that this command is only a shorthand for the GUI, so it cannot fix stubborn BT controllers that leave your device stuck in HSP mode until a manual re-coupling.

  • Disable bluetooth on your laptop to save battery

    Turns off the bluetooth hardware module. To turn it back on use `rfkill unblock bluetooth`. Works in Ubuntu, probably in other distros as well. I don't know if you need some special user permission to do this. It worked for me out of the box.
