how to pair JBL bluetooth device with Ubuntu laptop?

Question

I'm using 14.04 xubuntu version and want to pair it with the bluetooth JBL Flip 4 speaker. If I turn on the bluetooth on the laptop and "setup new device" choose "JBL Flip 4", "Connect to..." A2DP Sink (Send Audio)" I get the anser "Device added successfully, but failed to connect". Does anybody know how to solve this problem, how to pair and connect successfully?

Solution

Desktop OS: Ubuntu 18.04 Speaker: JBL Flip 4

I couldn't connect JBL to the notebook via Bluetooth. The message was

a2dp-source profile connect failed for Protocol not available.

I solved this problem simply installing pulseaudio-bluetooth and restarting PulseAudio. Maybe this info helps someone to save his/her time.

There's no "4.10 xubuntu". Please edit and correct it.
