I have the feeling you have completely screwed up your pulseaudio/bluetooth by now

My recommendation: remove everything that has to do with pulseaudio (apt-get purge ...) and start again from scratch
Make sure that the directory /home/xbian/.config/pulse and /etc/pulse do not exist anymore before you reinstall the packages

After reinstall, run the following script as root:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
su xbian -c "mkdir -p -m 0700 /home/xbian/.config/pulse && sed 's/; autospawn = yes/autospawn = yes/g' /etc/pulse/client.conf > /home/xbian/.config/pulse/client.conf
su xbian -c "mkdir -p -m 0700 /home/xbian/.config/pulse && cp /etc/pulse/daemon.conf /home/xbian/.config/pulse"
echo -e "If you need to modify client.conf or daemon.conf, please use\nthe files in folder /home/xbian/.config/pulse" > /etc/pulse/README.XBian
find /etc/rc?.d/ -name S??pulseaudio-enable-autospawn -delete

This will copy daemon.conf and client.conf to the xbian user area and changes have to be made there. Making changes in the orginal conf files I don't think is a very good idea

Thanks for writing the script. I have tried this and it still makes a second instance of pulseaudio and then drops the headphones and kills the second instance of pulseaudio.

I tried it with both dtparam=audio=on commented and uncommented out.

I still have RPiOS Lite on my other card and I am not seeing the same behavior so I am not sure what is different between debian and ubuntu since ubuntu is based on debian.
