any experience with bluetooth integration? Currently running on pulseaudio/fedora and I do have lots of weird stuff going on with a bluetooth headset and browser-based video conferencing software. Don't know why, but sometimes I need to restart the webbrowser to get the bluetooth headset working (even when pulseaudio shows that it should be used as audiosink).

Problem is made even "funnier" as my laptop is sometimes plugged into a docking station with audio line-out..

Inspired by this article I migrated from Pulseaudio to Pipewire yesterday. In the beginning I had weird bluetooth issues

- bluetooth daemon crashed 3 times
- external headphones and speakers were available in Gnome Settings but no sound and when I tried to test them there were no left or right speaker to push in the dialog

Telling Gnome bluetooth settings to forget those devices and then pairing them again fixed all issues. All is well now :)
