Bug ID: 493448
Summary: Bluetooth earphone profile does not change
automatically correctly
Classification: Plasma
Product: Bluedevil
Version: 6.1.5
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: daemon
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@chandradeepdey.com
Target Milestone: ---
EXPECTED RESULT
Before, when I connected Bluetooth earphones, Plasma's sound settings would
only show the speaker of the earphones connected as A2DP something.
Then, if I went to Google Meet or some other website that needs the microphone,
it would switch to the "Headset Head Unit" mode and a microphone option would
appear in the settings. I could either select the microphone in the
website/app, or keep it Default/System there and change the system default from
Plasma settings.
This would then be remembered. If I closed the website, the earphones would
switch back to the A2DP thing with no microphone. But then if I reopened Google
Meet, Plasma's default microphone would change to the earphone microphone
automatically.
OBSERVED RESULT
Currently, Plasma's sound settings always show the earphone microphone, even
when the earphone is in the A2DP mode. But if I switch to it as the default and
open Google Meet and select the system default mic there, other people can't
hear me.
Regardless of whether I change the microphone defaults from Plasma settings, it
never switches to the Headset Head Unit mode automatically any more. I now have
to select the earphone microphone from the website manually, and only then a
duplicate of the microphone would appear in Plasma settings, and all three
(speakers + two microphone copies) would switch to the Headset Head Unit
profile.
But even if I select this new copy of the microphone as the default in Plasma
while Google Meet is opened, since the profile switch no longer happens
automatically, it isn't automatically selected the next time. I would have to
select the earphone microphone manually again on the website, which would cause
the profile switch. But then I can immediately go back to the Default/System
microphone on the website because now with the switched profile, Plasma
remembers the default microphone change.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This actually started happening a few months ago. Back then, I thought the
earphone microphone was completely broken, so I just started using the laptop
microphone, hoping that it would be fixed in some future update. But only
recently I realised that it is a bug with the profile switching mechanism.
