How to force A2DP sink when wireless bluetooth headset is connected?
I have Debian 9 Stretch installed in my pc,and when I want to hear some music i can't hear it well.I discovered in audio settings that the A2DP profile was there but nothing happens when I select it.There's a way to force the A2DP connection when connected the headset to the pc.I already paired it btw.
Help is appreciated.Thanks.

I am using a SoundBuds Curve headset in Debian 9,
and have had the same problem, I was
unable to switch from the HSP/HFP profile to the A2DP profile.
What fixed the issue for me, was editing /etc/bluetooth/main.conf.
First add the following lines under the [General] tag (copied from audio.conf, I found searching for a solution):
# Automatically connect both A2DP and HFP/HSP profiles for incoming
# connections. Some headsets that support both profiles will only connect the
# other one automatically so the default setting of true is usually a good
# idea.
AutoConnect=true
Next enable support for multiple profiles, which can be found a few lines below in main.conf:
# Enables Multi Profile Specification support. This allows to specify if
# system supports only Multiple Profiles Single Device (MPSD) configuration
# or both Multiple Profiles Single Device (MPSD) and Multiple Profiles Multiple
# Devices (MPMD) configurations.
# Possible values: "off", "single", "multiple"
MultiProfile = multiple
