This might help

sdptool is broken in Bluez 5

You need to run the blue tooth daemon in compatibility mode to provide deprecated command line interfaces. You're running Bluez5 and you need some Bluez4 functions. You can do this by editing this file

/etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.bluez.service

and changing this line

ExecStart=/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd

to this

ExecStart=/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd --compat

and then restarting bluetooth like this

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart bluetooth

and you'll also have to change permissions on /var/run/sdp

sudo chmod 777 /var/run/sdp

Huh. This seems to have still fixed bluetooth A2DP sink on my box. It's 2 years later... – sehe Jul 15 '17 at 21:56

This also fixes the same issue on Debian (desktop). – ceremcem Jan 01 '19 at 14:42
This edit gets reverted when Blue Z get's updated. Is this ever going to be permanently fixed? Is there a better workaround? – T.Coutlakis Nov 17 '19 at 11:02

This fix stopped working on 2021-01-11-raspios-buster-armhf.img. Could RaspberryPi and Debian PLEEEZE get their sh*t together on this? A bot closed the GitHub issue for this bug – Phlip Feb 17 '21 at 14:53
