SUMMARY I have a Jabra Evolve 360 including the Jabra Link 380 USB Adapter. While the Bluetooth connection only provides low quality when using audio output and input simultaneously, the Jabra Link 380 provides full audio quality when using output and input. There is one little issue though: When I click on the audio icon in the panel to open the drop-down menu, the quality drops until shortly after I released the menu again. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Connect Jabra Headset via Jabra Link 380 2. Click the audio settings icon 3. Release the audio settings icon again. OBSERVED RESULT The Jabra Link light turns cyan, green and red in a quick succession. Those meanings are explained here https://www.jabra.com/supportpages/jabra-link-380/14208-22/faq/What-do-the-LEDs-on-the-Jabra-Link-Bluetooth-adapter-mean After releasing it turns blue again after a short time and the audio quality turns back to normal. I think those are some valid modes of the Jabra Link, but it is really weird that those are triggered when you just click on the audio icon in Plasma without selecting anything. EXPECTED RESULT Just clicking the icon should not trigger any modes. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0 Qt Version: .5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I tested this on Manjaro and Ubuntu on two different ThinkPads.
I just realized that it also happens when you open Telegram. Maybe it helps
Is this still a problem with Plasma 6 and pipewire/wireplumber?
Created attachment 174509 [details] attachment-1269614-0.html I think I still experienced it lately, but not with all devices.

Can you open the audio settings and check if the device profile changes when this happens? I suspect this is simply the automatic profile switch while microphone probing is in progress.
I am pretty sure the device profile changes. It drops form HiFi profile to the headset profile. This is not shown by the UI though.
Well, the profile is not visualized in the applet. There isn't enough space. It is visible in systemsettings
The profile does not visibly change in the profile selection of the sound section of the system settings. Just tried it out. It sounds like it does though.
I just discovered that the bug does not occur when I choose "analog stereo-output" only. When the profile is set to "analog stereo-output + mono-input", the bug occurs. Hope this help!
Works fine for me on 6.2. What version are you on? What distro? Pipewire or Pulseaudio?
(In reply to Harald Sitter from comment #9) > Works fine for me on 6.2. > > What version are you on? What distro? Pipewire or Pulseaudio? Version 6.1.5 on Arch using Pipewire
Still occurs on 6.2. I just updated. What kind of headphones are you using? It may not be a comparable setup.
I have to add that this issue only occurs with the Jabra Link USB Adapter as described in the SUMMARY. There is no issue using the bluetooth connection. For some reason clicking on the audio icon in the panel causes the adapter to switch from A2DP mode to voice mode.

Can you reproduce this issue in Plasma 6.3.4 or later, and also presumably with newer versions of the kernel and audio stack?
Yes, it is still unchanged.
For reference: ❯ uname -r 6.14.2-arch1-1 on Plasma 6.3.4
