Created attachment 128902 [details] Image what kind of selector I mean SUMMARY Bluetooth headphones audio profile (HFP or A2DP sink) is not selectable in the KDE Bluetooth devices manager. Manager needs a selector like shown in the screenshot. OBSERVED RESULT Profile gets automatically selected. EXPECTED RESULT Popup to the user how one wants to connect headphones. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS OS: Kubuntu 20.04 64-bit KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 Kernel: 5.4.0-31-generic
Have you checked audio settings? On the Advanced tab you can choose device profiles. I wonder if there's a way to make this easier or maybe we should show a hint somewhere "your audio quality may be degraded because.." What application is this in the screenshot, so I could take a look at what they do to offer this.
System Settings > Audio > Advanced > Profile should do what you want. however you shouldn't even need to change the profile in the first place; if your device isn't using the correct profile out of the box, that's a bug that should be fixed! However, it's a bug in PulseAudio, not any piece of KDE software. I once had the same issue and filed a bug and they were very nice and fixed it for my device at least: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/issues So you should file a bug with them at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/issues Thanks!

That Advanced tab is wrong place, doesn't help in this case. There isn't Bluetooth related channels. The app itself is Blueman.

It's not possible to select it OOBE as it depends how you want to use the device: 1) Other other profile is audio high quality stereo audio 2) And the other one is for using it in hands free mode (mic and mono audio)
