Does system have pulseaudio-bluetooth installed?

pulseaudio-bluetooth provides 4 PulseAudio modules for Bluetooth audio

module-bluetooth-discover
module-bluetooth-policy
module-bluez5-device
module-bluez5-discover

To check PulseAudio modules:

pactl list modules short

php4fan · 28 February 2025 16:19

Yes, it’s installed

nikgnomic · 28 February 2025 16:42

Alternative command to check PulseAudio modules, card profiles and sink configurations:

pacmd dump

Data shows modules for supporting Bluetooth audio devices

load-module module-bluetooth-policy
load-module module-bluetooth-discover
load-module module-bluez5-discover

but no module-bluez5-device or bluez_sink for audio playback

pactl data for bluez-device from a working system

load-module module-bluez5-device path=/org/bluez/hci0/dev_30_50_75_D9_17_FA autodetect_mtu=0 output_rate_refresh_interval_ms=500 avrcp_absolute_volume=1

set-default-sink bluez_sink.30_50_75_D9_17_FA.handsfree_head_unit

I suggest check journal for error messages for Bluetooth, PulseAudio and PipeWire/Wireplumber

journalctl -b | grep -E 'blue|pulse|wire'

I have now installed manjaro-pipewire (I had to remove a couple of packages that I had installed related to Jack) and that has fixed the issue. After restart (I did have to restart though, despite the fact that Pamac didn’t tell me a restart was needed - where should I report that bug?) the earbuds connected automatically, sound output automatically switched to them and they are visible in the volume settings, everything as expected.

It seems that this has happened to basically everybody who has had similar problems.

If I understand correctly, however, this shouldn’t be necessary in order to have bluetooth audio working, right?

Tell me if I understand correctly:

pulseaudio and pipewire can coexist, and they do by default in Manjaro+KDE, where pulseaudio acts as a sound server and pipewire acts as a media server, whatever that means.
There’s a common misconception that they are not supposed to be installed together but that’s not true
pipewire can however replace pulseaudio (and that’s what installing manjaro-pipewire does)
Manjaro’s default combination of pulseaudio+pipewire is supposed to support bluetooth audio, right? (*).

(*) If so, it’s utterly broken. Are the Manjaro maintainers aware of that?

Manjaro 23.1 Vulcan released

Since we released Uranos in October 2023 we worked hard to get the next release of Manjaro out there. We call it Vulcan. This is also our first release on which we switch over to Pipewire 1.0.

Restart is not necessary if pipewire-pulse.service is started, but service is started automatically if system is restarted

PipeWire - Usage - Audio -ArchWiki

ALSA clients
Install pipewire-alsa (and remove pulseaudio-alsa if it was installed) to route all applications using the ALSA API through PipeWire.

PulseAudio clients
Install pipewire-pulse. It will replace pulseaudio and pulseaudio-bluetooth.
Reboot, re-login or stop pulseaudio.service and start the pipewire-pulse.service user unit to see the effect.

Bluetooth devices
PipeWire handles Bluetooth audio devices if the pipewire-audio package is installed.

Data in post #5 shows pipewire-alsa installed to replace pulseaudio-alsa,
but pipewire-pulse not installed to replace pulseaudio

I don’t understand. Why did I still have PulseAudio in 2025 then?

nikgnomic · 1 March 2025 22:15

Manjaro metapackages manjaro-pulse and manjaro-pipewire to switch between audio servers have been available since 2021

Previous post about an audio issue has no data to show audio devices and servers
Audio systematically stops working a few seconds after startup

GitHub issue reported for pamac – Fcitx5 got installed for no reason – has also been resolved
perform sysupgrade transaction always separately from AUR · manjaro/libpamac@c629d1d · GitHub
