pulseaudio bluetooth problems

I am using:
kodi 17.1
pulseaudio 9.0
Kubuntu 16.10

When I use kodi, no sound comes through my bluetooth headset. pavucontrol shows the headset as selected for the kodi stream. All volume controls are all the way up and no other sound device is connected to the pc.

This only occurs with this one headset, but the set isn’t the problems; it works for all other applications. kodi does however respect other bluetooth devices. I am at a loss for why this occurs.

Suggestions?
