SUMMARY Switching off bluetooth doesn't disconnect the bluetooth speakers, but when I enable bluetooth again, then the speakers are disconnected. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. connect to bluetooth speakers 2. turn off bluetooth 3. OBSERVED RESULT The bluetooth device is not disconnected. EXPECTED RESULT The bluetooth device is disconnected SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 5.21 KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.4.0-66-generic OS Type: 64-bit Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i3-5010U CPU @ 2.10GHz Memory: 3.8 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 5500 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION When I disconnect manually without turning off bluetooth, then the device is disconnected. Also after switching off bluetooth, the device(speakers) is not disconnected, but when I shutdown the computer, then the bluetooth speakers are disconnected.
That's weird. I cannot reproduce with my Bluetooth speaker, and in fact the report makes no sense as currently phrased: if Bluetooth is turned off, the speaker cannot possibly be still playing audio. How are you turning off Bluetooth? Perhaps it's secretly not actually getting turned off. It might be mis-representing its status.
Hi, I am turning off bluetooth using Bluetooth option in system tray(Show hidden icons). My bluetooth speakers beep once and stop blinking "bt" words when a device is connected, when a device is disconnected the device will beep once and start blinking "bt" words. Yes, the bluetooth speakers doesn't play audio when the bluetooth is turned off. But still it doesn't disconnect or free the bluetooth device, as I can see the beep sound is not given and the "bt" words doesn't start blinking after I turn off the bluetooth. What I am saying is that when I turn off bluetooth the system is disabling the bluetooth but not giving any info to the bluetooth speakers, that "it is disconnected", so bluetooth speakers remain in "connected" state. Because of this I cannot connect other bluetooth devices like my Android phone, to connect to them I have to turn off the bluetooth speakers and turn them on again. When I turn off bluetooth in Windows 10 & Android OS, the connected bluetooth speakers are immediately disconnected, i.e the speakers gave one beep sound and "bt" words started blinking. I get this issue only on Linux(KDE neon), I didn't tried to reproduce this issue in other distros.
Created attachment 136359 [details] bluetooth speakers As you can see the image, in bluetooth mode the "bt" words instead of "AU", start blinking when the bluetooth speakers are not connected to any device.
I see, thanks. Can confirm now.
