Created attachment 136837 [details] Screencast SUMMARY I have a Bluetooth headset paired with my laptop. When I power on the headset, it pairs, and it apparently becomes the default output device. However, sound isn't output to it; it keeps coming out of the laptop speakers. I need to click the Speakers in the Audio applet, then click back on the Headset, then the headset does receive audio. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Play audio through the laptop speakers (Spotify on ThinkPad X1C) 2. Power on previously paired Bluetooth headset OBSERVED RESULT The default audio output device appears to be the headset, but sound still comes out of the speakers EXPECTED RESULT Audio output through the Bluetooth headset SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.21.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0 Qt Version: 5.21.2
Thanks for the screen recording, that's very helpful. Looks like the applet is confused and changes the default output without moving over streams. Question: in System Settings > Audio > Configure, have you checked the checkbox for "Automatically switch all running streams when a new output becomes available?" And if not, if you do check it, does that fix the problem and cause the stream to move over to the new device to match which one becomes checked? If so, then the bug is that we need to make the applet automatically switch the default device only when that setting is in use.
