Audio problems with bluetooth Headphones

So, I recently switched from Windows to manjaro+kde an I’m quite happy with that decision. The only problem are my bluetooth headphones (Marshall Monitor II). On windows they work perfect and also on Manjaro I have no pairing problems, but every few seconds I the Audio cuts out and I have no idea why. The bluetooth settings seem right to me (A2DP), I repaired them multiple times and also reinstalled pulseaudio… I’m not an expert on this topic so from now on I don’t know what to do. I need help :slight_smile:

  1. Please read this:
    How to provide good information
    and post some more information so we can see what’s really going on. Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies…
  2. An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information… (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
    Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.

P.S. If you enter a bit more details in your profile, we can also see which Desktop Environment you’re using, which CPU/GPU or Kernel, … you have without typing it every time

Hey, Thanks for your answer (and sorry for my late response). The output is the following:

Is this helpful?

I know these are $hit and have their own Windows driver, but no specific Bluetooth Linux driver.

Can you try both 5.11 and 5.12 kernels and see if they resolve anything?

If not: how old is your machine?

:thinking:

Oh my god, thank you! it’s finally working! switched to 5.12.

Thanks for your help!
