Hi there good people,
My first pair of Soundblaster Jam - when BT enabled they just get connected - voila!
My new pair - well, I can get them to pair but no sound at all, not working.

I understand the issue with dual-boot.
I understand that some set remember the 1st device they are paired with

I have read:

[HowTo] Bluetooth headphones paired, but no sound after a while

That didn’t work for me, but here is what I did on top of that to make it work. I have headphones that can also be switched off with button. After switching back on, they still didn’t auto connect. I’ve done all what was said in the instructions, rebooted, nothing changed. On top of that I edited sudo nano /etc/bluetooth/main.conf and on the very bottom of the file uncommented these lines: AutoEnable=true ResumeDelay = 2 Also I edited sudo nano /etc/pulse/system.pa and on the bottom added t…

No Advanced Audio Sink for Bluetooth Headset?

That worked for me (after 2 days troubleshooting…). Thank you!

But I would not love to see my sound dying on me so I am asking what can be done to sooth my pain

edit// it was listed as Other, so I deleted the device, paired it again, now it is listed as Audio Device and I heard the sound for a few seconds, loads of glitches and then it stopped altogether…

edit 2// they earbuds are working - I hope they keep working from now on

Connecting works, but there are sound glitches all the time

The Skype audio is horrendous, that’s my issue.

All I could find was:
Bluetooth headset - ArchWikiStatic_noise/_%22Muddy%22_sound

Do I need to apply these? Seems tad complicated for me.

Could
https://archlinux.org/packages/?name=pipewire-pulse
Be my saviour?

Your system data is showing both Pulseaudio and Pipewire are active

Sound Server-2: PulseAudio v: 14.2 running: yes
Sound Server-3: PipeWire v: 0.3.23 running: yes

You can choose either:

• Install manjaro-pipewire to get the additional dependency files for Pipewire ( including pipewire-pulse ) and remove PulseAudio packages

OR

• Mask pipewire.socket and stop pipewire.service to continue using PulseAudio

  systemctl --user mask --now pipewire.socket && systemctl --user stop pipewire.service

Gosh, it is really there - are you implying they might be in conflict and I need to opt for one instead of two?
