Bluetooth headset not getting audio after being idle for some time

General system Newbie

After being idle for some time, the audio starts playing through my laptop’s speakers instead of headphones. I thought it might be disconnected but it is still paired.
I’m on the latest EndeavourOS update and running gnome.
I am using pipewire audio.
Please help me!!

Welcome to the forum!

Try disabling the suspend node.

To disable suspend-node in wireplumber you can just set session.suspend-timeout-seconds in bluetooth.lua.d/50-bluez-config.lua to 0

You can copy the config from /usr/share/wireplumber into user-wide config location, ~/.config and and edit however you wish.

Steps:

  1. cd ~/.config

  2. mkdir wireplumber

  3. mkdir wireplumber/bluetooth.lua.d

  4. cp /usr/share/wireplumber/bluetooth.lua.d/50-bluez-config.lua ~/.config/wireplumber/bluetooth.lua.d/50-bluez-config.lua

  5. In the newly copied file ~/.config/wireplumber/bluetooth.lua.d/50-bluez-config.lua, uncomment the line saying ["session.suspend-timeout-seconds"] = 5

  6. Change value 5 to 0

  7. Save the file

  8. Restart
