SUMMARY When I pair my bluetooth speaker (JBL Charge 3) the following loop is triggered: first it connects as a high quality audio device (a2dp profile) then it disconnects (back to in-built analog audio), then it connects as a low quality audio device (HSP profile), and again. The loop goes on forever, switching audio output every couple seconds. The speaker worked perfectly before the latest update. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Be on plasma 6.0.5 2. Pair a bluetooth speaker OBSERVED RESULT Endless loop in which the bluetooth speaker connection goes up and down EXPECTED RESULT Bluetooth speaker is connected at once and a2dp audio sink works SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240607 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 Qt Version: 6.7.1 Kernel Version: 6.9.3-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz Memory: 7.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 520 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This worked flawlessly prior to the latest update.
Were any non-KDE packages updated too? This kind of behavior change is typically caused by a regression in the bluetooth stack beneath Plasma.

The kernel, bluez, potentially also pulseaudio or pipewire.
