I follow a nearly identical flow several times a day to connect bluetooth headphones to my laptop.
- Turn on headphones
* Laptop connects immediately and uses the HSP/HFP mode (works!)
* Trying to select A2DP appears to work, but no audio will play
- Disconnect the headphones using the Bluetooth manager
- Reconnect the headphones using the Bluetooth manager
- Select A2DP, this now works.

Separately, many web videos will stop playing and refuse to play when the Bluetooth audio device is selected.

As usual, you need to give execution permissions, or pass it to the ruby interpreter. It's designed to executed via terminal, call it from GUI has undefined behavior.
