Debian Bookworm Mate: BT headphones don't appear on hardware list despite they are connected
by ardabro from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6EQTE)
Hello
I use Sony WH-1000MX BT headphones. Prior to upgrading Debian to Bookworm, everything worked flawlessly.
Now the situation is strange: I'm able to connect my phones by bluetoothctl. I'm able to select them as default sink in pacmd and play sound samples on them (using pacmd) - technically everything works.
But they never appear in sound manager applet, and when chosen as the default sink by pacmd I have no sound at all from web browser, spotify etc.
What may be the reason? How to debug this situation? What is the connection/interface between the sound hardware manager I have on my taskbar and the list of sound devices visible in pacmd?
