Hi all,

The first problem was that the headset disconnected immediately after
connecting. There was an associated error in journalctl :

src/service.c:btd_service_connect() a2dp-sink profile connect failed for <some
hex numbers> Protocol not available

Some search engine pointed to me that this may be associated with missing
libspa-0.2-bluetooth, so I installed it and this first error disappeared. So a
first suggestion would be to make sure that libspa-0.2-bluetooth is added as a
dependency to some of the pipewire set.

I am having the same problem. According to https://wiki.debian.org/BluetoothUser/a2dp, one also has to uninstall pulseaudio-module-bluetooth.

This is one of the rare cases where upgrading Debian just silently broke the system -- all bluetooth audio functionality just stopped working without warning. I hope something can be done to avoid this.

Amusingly, the description of the libspa package says " It is considered to be experimental, and is disabled by default (even if installed) to avoid conflicts with equivalent functionality in PulseAudio. " -- however, since upgrades now seem to automatically switch people over from PA to pipewire, does this still make sense? So far certainly one cannot speak of "equivalent functionality", since the bluetooth support in PA actually worked out of the box without any fiddling...

This however did not solve my problem, I will file another bug report for the
remaining part

I am also still struggling with getting BT working again; do you have a link to the other bug report?

Kind regards,
Ralf
