Kind of similar to this, I paired my Bluetooth headset (Turtle Beach Ear Force PX5) in Ubuntu and it at first showed up in "Sound Settings" after pairing. It was not initially working, so I started tweaking some settings. I tweaked a setting on the microphone, and all of a sudden both the output/input device disappeared. The device works with Windows, although to get it to work with my phone simultaneously (the headset is 2ch) I usually disable the microphone and only enable it when needed.
I captured the debug output from bluetoothd:

I've tried deleting and repairing the device, but it looks like I've set some persistent device setting accidentally in the depths and the device isn't showing up in Sound Settings anymore to allow me to change it. Does anyone have any pointers? I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.
