Can't use A2DP after latest update fixed after two reboots and replugging dongle, KDE. Can I changed intended role?

I was having trouble with my Bluetooth headset, it wasn’t applying A2DP just HSP. After I unplugged and replugged it worked as for now. But interesting thing, it says its intended use is for the phone profile which I think is the HSP mode. Is there a way to change this?

I installed pulseaudio-modules-bt trying to fix it before so don’t know if after 2 reboots it worked that out.

I also did this

/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf

[General]
Disable=Headset

As I suspected, A2DP got borked again today :frowning:

I have to unplug the dongle and reboot without it, plug it after login and enable Bluetooth again.
