Bug ID: 491511
Summary: Add GUI option to disable automatic Bluetooth profile
selection (HSP/HFP and A2DP) for PipeWire/WirePlumber
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR

Target Milestone: ---
This is a feature request.
Weekly I stumble upon help requests where people are having the same problem:
PipeWire/WirePlumber is automatically switching to the HSP/HFP bluetooth
profile for their headset when the microphone activates for whatever reason.
Most of the time this in unwanted behavior (as it absolutely destroys audio
quality) - see e.g.:
https://old.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1e2bfzr/games_switching_bt_headset_codec_kdepipewire/
I propose adding a GUI option in the KDE System Settings (under either Sound or
Bluetooth) that allows users to disable this automatic profile switching.
For reference, the current workaround involves modifying the following
configuration file:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire#Automatic_profile_selection
> # /etc/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/11-bluetooth-policy.conf (or
> ~/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/11-bluetooth-policy.conf)
> wireplumber.settings = {
> bluetooth.autoswitch-to-headset-profile = false
> }
