Bug Report

Description

I connected by Headphones (Boat Rockerz 425) to arch, it got paired. The sound whichever is playing is only coming from the laptop's speaker and not from the Headphones. It almost seems like the Headphones isn't detected as a audio output device.

Expected Behavior

I expected that after pairing with the system, the audio output will automatically change to that of Headphones.

Actual Behavior

The Headphones got paired, but is not detected as an output or input device.

Requesting a resolution to the issue

Try to right click the Speaker symbol. It should pop up a menu. Can you see your Device?

Headphone was still (unplugged) even plugging in?

Hareekshith commented 2 weeks ago

No, I am connecting the headphones via bluetooth. That was the previous Headphone I was using, through aux cableI used to connect it. image

I see, Can you check if it is successfully connected to Bluetooth? click the Bluetooth tray Icon and check if the headphone is connected

Hello, u there?

yup it should work. I do sometimes get some bugs on pipewire(handles your audio connection and stuff) though. And it fixes after a reboot.

Also Bluetooth devices should have a separate dropdown menu below the default speakers in the volume control GUI.

In this image pipewire should display another output given that it is connected via Bluetooth

Now that is the problem, I properly paired my device, but the audio ain't getting played

Here, the Headphones was already connected

It's unplugged(Not detected). Can you check if the headphone needs drivers?

kRHYME7 commented 2 weeks ago

Maybe the wiki can help you. This is sort of Linux issues now.

I also remember that in the Bluetooth menu If I right click on the Bluetooth device I sometimes need to enable the audio profile. Can you do that in your end too. while headphones are connected via Bluetooth

Hareekshith commented 2 weeks ago

sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack wireplumber sudo pacman -S pipewire-media-session pipewire-pulse pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack

systemctl --user enable --now pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber

This works
