I have been struggling with this for days now - I am simply trying to connect my blue-tooth earbuds.
After finally accepting that I cant have hi-fi audio with the mic, I just want to connect and enable a2dp, I have tried everything I could possible find and now I'm just stuck in this situation:
1. connect with bluetooth - appears to succeed
2. go to 'sound' - notice a completely empty 'Device' section
3. install pavucontrol and run - it just hands with this message "Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please Wait...."
I am at a total loss now what to do, can someone please advise how I can start troubleshooting this?
Please let me know what info I can provide, or anything I can do to simply connect bluetooth earbuds and listen.
I have tried so many different things, including many differnt solutions using blueman, as well as trying some pulseaudio + pipewire stuff - everything almost works, but I can never just reliably connect and listen
No audio devices in 'sound' after connecting bluteooth earbuds
