After running sudo packtl unload-module module-suspend-on-idle
I was met with Connection failure: Connection refused pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused
Have you tried rebooting?
I assume that’s just a typo in the post, not what you entered?
Yeah just a typo I had the error copied so i just typed that bit

Same error after reboot
although now after the reboot I cant multiplex sounds anymore
This suggests that the problem is probably not with pulseaudio, but perhaps with pipewire. 
And now the original issue is happening again so just commenting out that line hasn’t helped
inxi data shows USB Bluetooh adapter device is using 3 drivers
Device-4: Bluetrum USB Audio driver: hid-generic,snd-usb-audio,usbhid
type: USB rev: 2.0 speed: 12 Mb/s lanes: 1 mode: 1.1 bus-ID: 1-6:13
chip-ID: 3302:29b7 class-ID: 0300
snd-usb-audio for audio playback
hid-generic and usbhid for mutimedia controls (Human Interface Device)
Try using this to unbind the usbhid driver from the device
sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/usbhid-unbind.conf << 'options usbhid quirks=0x3302:0x29b7:0x04'
[If this does not work the quirk can also be loaded as a boot parameter
usercomp - Apply usbhid quirks
stackexchange - Prevent usbhid from claiming USB device]
If one or more of the onboard audio jacks is malfunctioning they can be disabled
Install alsa-tools and run jack retasking tool with root privileges
sudo hdajackretask
Select the onboard audio codec (Realtek ALC1150)
Create an Override for the broken jack(s) and change them to Not Connected
Working output jacks (e.g. for surround-sound rear or side channels) can also be re-tasked to replace front channel or headphone jacks
To save the overrides click Install boot override and reboot system to reload ALSA devices

Similar thing happens to me with no audio on headphones with Manjaro, when I’ve booted up with the headphones already plugged in. Since it’s such little effort to correct this by unplugging then replug them, I’ve never really bothered to find out the cause.
I have attempted to run the first command, I’m not sure if it worked all that has happened is that any line after is preceded by heredoc>. Currently no issues with media controls have happened but I’ll have to wait for a while to confirm.
When running the second command I was met with
sudo: hdajackretask: command not found
In addition since my last post it now says that connection to the sound service has been lost and I can’t view or edit any of my sound setting. Also I still can’t multiplex sound.
Reboot system and check if the first command worked:
cat /etc/modprobe.d/usbhid-unbind.conf
and check drivers loaded for audio device
inxi -Aaz
Install alsa-tools:
pamac install alsa-tools
and follow previous post for how to create overrides in hdajackretask
I do not understand what you mean by this
I suggest you open a new topic and post more information about system, audio and Bluetooth devices

Reboot system to ensure the new modprobe option is loaded
That was after the reboot
Delete the modprobe file
sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/usbhid-unbind.conf
Open GRUB configuration file in a text editor
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
edit the boot options after GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and add the driver quirk
at the end of the quoted list
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="... ...usbhid.quirks=0x3302:0x29b7:0x4"
save and exit text editor and update GRUB
sudo update-grub
reboot system
check if boot options inxi -Saz include usbhid quirk
and check usbhid driver is NOT loaded for USB audio device in inxi -Aaz
