You don't need to load module-bluez5-device directly.
module-bluetooth-discover is the only<br>
module you need to load. module-bluetooth-discover loads
then module-bluez4-discover or<br>
module-bluez5-discover depending on your bluez version and
that module automatically loads<br>
module-bluez4-device or module-bluez5-device as soon as a
bluetooth device turns up.<br>

<div>As to your follow-up of whether or not things work when not
logged in as root, well, I can’t tell because if I create a user
and log into it, while PulseAudio launches fine, when I try to
run bluetoothctl, I get its prompt but then it’s dead in the
water and doesn’t respond to me typing. Before I learned of the
system mode option, I tried pulseaudio —start –D when logged in
as root. If I quickly run the bluetoothctl command sequence, I
can connect to the speaker and then do pacmd list-sinks and see
it. I just doesn’t do the same thing in system mode. I get that
error. I did try copying my default.pa to system.pa but that
didn’t help.</div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/WhatIsWrongWithSystemWide/">http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/WhatIsWrongWithSystemWide/</a><br>
<br>
states: When in system mode, module loading after startup is
disabled for security reasons, which means: no hotplug handling in
system mode<br>
<br>
