thanks for the quick response. : ) I'd like to, but as mentioned, for me anyhow, it is non-trivial to do that, break it again, then roll back, given the procedure required to do so with the boot key and luks. I figured I'd report it anyway.

Posted this on mint cinnamon issues, was redirected here. Can't say 100% for sure it is linux-firmware that is the culprit, but I guess that forum member thought it was likely. linux mint 22.1 package version 6.4.8 Earbuds are Oladance Ows2. When I first installed Mint 22.1 on my notebook, bluetooth did not see the headphones at all, and I had to reinstall the bluetooth packages to get it to work. Been fine since. Reinstalling bluetooth this time, no joy. Other detected bluetooth non-audio devices seem ok, but I have no other bluetooth earbuds to test. After one of these updates below was installed, crackling started from earbuds. Rolling back to 5/29/25 via timeshift snapshot fixed it; been working fine every day since then, am avoiding updates for now. Because it is a huge pita (which I didn't know when i set mint up) to constantly roll back when you have ext4/lvm/luks set up, i can't easily install one package at a time and retest each time. Would have tried running apport before rolling back, but didn't know about it. potential culprits: apport python 3 library for Apport crash report handling 2.28.1-0ubuntu.36 linux-firmware 20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.12 net-tools 2.10-0.1ubuntu4.4 setuptools 68.1.2-2ubuntu1.2 wireless-regdb 2024.10.07-0ubuntu2~24.04.1 signal-desktop 7.56.0 (seems unlikely) After rollback, noted am now on linux-firmware 20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.11 which is working a-ok. Other t-shooting info if it is useful: - Earbuds fully charged or not, same problem - earbuds fine on multiple other devices. - Internal audio speaker in Mint on notebook is fine. - Same problem after cold and warm reboots. - Same problem on different networks at different physical locations. - Same problem regardless of media playback (browser or vlc). fyi & thx!
