Hi everyone,
I've noticed a strange regression regarding my Bluetooth audio behavior since the recent update of the ALSA packages to version 1.2.16.
Prior to this update, whenever I turned on and connected my Bluetooth headphones, the system would seamlessly and automatically switch the default audio output source (sink) to them.
Since the upgrade, the headphones connect successfully via Bluetooth, but the audio source remains locked to my internal soundcard/speakers. I am forced to manually change the output device every single time.
Here are some details about my current environment:
- Audio Server: PipeWire (with WirePlumber)
- Kernel: 7.0.10-zen1-1-zen
- Desktop Environment: Gnome
I have already verified that the device is trusted and paired correctly. I haven't changed any configuration files in /etc/wireplumber/ or ~/.config/.
Is anyone else experiencing this behavior since 1.2.16? I couldn't find an open bug report on the Arch GitLab or upstream trackers yet. If anyone could point me toward what might have changed in ALSA's interaction with the sound server layers, or how to properly debug the event triggering, I would highly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
