Comment 7 Nicolas Fella 2022-09-13 12:00:41 UTC

The output from pactl list shows that PulseAudio does not know about the airpods. You will find that pavucontrol doesn't show it either. This means it's not a bug in Plasma.

Please report this to PulseAudio/PipeWire (whichever you are using)

This is what looks like on Ubuntu, where should I report the bug to? Maybe I just to install some package?
