I'm sorry I cannot provide more help but it looks like the problem is
not with pulseaudio but in bluez.

There are some possible workarounds for your problem here:

You might want to try them, please report back if they work.


Dear bluez Maintainers, the problem is as follows:

According to [1] and [2], enabling the Socket interface in audio.conf
breaks AD2P selection by pulseaudio. Unfortunately, some devices do
not work with the socket interface disabled (such as the OPs and [3]).
