I found when Fedora switched to wireplumber it made bluetooth much less reliable. Every time I connected my headphones I had to restart wireplumber multiple times for them to connect. Haven't tried it for a few months though, maybe it's improved.

Yeah, I've just been restarting the pipewire service instead of looking into it, but I started having audio output fail when I switched to wireplumber.

Wireplumber looks much more wonky to me than media-session, so I'm deferring the switch for now. Wireplumber's design seems flashy and not guided by experience or good taste to me, the opposite of Pipewire proper.

I have the same issue on the latest Fedora. It's very disappointing that bluetooth connectivity isn't a solved problem in 2022 (at least on Linux, haven't noticed any issues in Windows for a while). Are we ever going to get to a point where bluetooth "just works"?

  I have daily bluetooth issues on Windows. Someone decided it was a good idea to have bluetooth jabra speakers/microphones for our meetingrooms... It takes 5 minutes to do the pair/connect/set correct device dance... every. day. My macbook can't even figure out that it should try to connect to my offce trackpad after I have had it connected to my home trackpad! Thankfully it has a built in trackpad that I can use to manually connect when the "automation" fails..

    Is that with an M1? I had a 12" MacBook no-adjectives in the past which didn't even work with AirPods well. I was hoping the M1 would have a better BT stack (the iPhone's...)
