Package: debian13
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading to  LMDE 7 Gigi (Debian 13: BlueZ5.82 + PipeWire 1.4.x) on an amd64 computer

(and also after upgrading to Debian 13 / Trixie on a raspberry pi P400)

Bluetooth audio headsets that worked perfectly in previous Debian versions (Debian 12 LMDE 6 /RPIoS bulleye) now fail to connect. The headset (Soundcore Life Q30) is detected, paired and trusted. Connection starts but is immediately canceled with:

br-connection-refused or br-connection-canceled

First investigation showed that No A2DP transport is created, and PipeWire never exposes a bluez_card device. Only bluez_midi.server appears.

The same headset worked correctly on older Debian versions with PulseAudio or

older BlueZ. and is still perfectly working on android 15, windows 11 based machine.

The issue appeared immediately and persistently after the LMDE and RpiOS upgrade

Thank you for taking the time to review and take into account this report in future upgrade. As you probably know, losing hardware compatibility is always unpleasant.
