Install pulseaudio-bluetooth and reboot. If this doesn’t work try switching to pipewire:
i already have pulseaudio-bluetooth and manjaro-pulse installed,
now what’s the correct way to remove pulseaudio ?
i would like to try pipewire
thanks
sudo pacman -Rdd manjaro-pulse
sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire
thank you so much, i have now installed pipewire and i have did a full reboot and i have verified that pipewire is running and pulseaudio stopped also i have verified that the headphone work i need some time in order to see if the issue gone or not in the mean time thank you so much for taking the time to help me
Why do you advocate removing a package without dependencies? This would result in only removing the meta package and none of the actual pulseaudio ones (pulseaudio, pulseaudio-alsa, pulseaudio-bluetooth, pulseaudio-jack, pulseaudio-lirc, pulseaudio-rtp, pulseaudio-zeroconf).
manjaro-pipewire already does conflict with manjaro-pulse: installing it will ask for manjaro-pulse removal automatically.
btw once i executed the following command:
$ sudo pacman -S manjaro-pipewire
i got the following:
:: manjaro-pipewire and pulseaudio-jack are in conflict. Remove pulseaudio-jack? [y/N] y
:: manjaro-pipewire and pulseaudio-lirc are in conflict. Remove pulseaudio-lirc? [y/N] y
:: manjaro-pipewire and pulseaudio-rtp are in conflict. Remove pulseaudio-rtp? [y/N] y
:: manjaro-pipewire and pulseaudio-zeroconf are in conflict. Remove pulseaudio-zeroconf? [y/N] y
:: pipewire-pulse and pulseaudio are in conflict. Remove pulseaudio? [y/N] y
:: pipewire-pulse and pulseaudio-bluetooth are in conflict. Remove pulseaudio-bluetooth? [y/N] y

Never did that but you are right here. Actually there is conflict between pipewire-pulse and pulseaudio-bluetooth while switching from manjaro-pipewire to manjaro-pulse:
so I confused it here which shouldn’t be done but OP can always remove the orphans if left any:
sudo pacman -Rsn $(pacman -Qqdt)
