Bluetooth Headset stops working when I pause video for 10-20 seconds

It works fine but when it gets idle even for few seconds it stops working even though it is connected to my laptop. I have to disconnect and reconnect it every-time. which is getting annoying.

I found this on arch wiki

To disable loading of the module-suspend-on-idle module, comment out the following line in the configuration file in use (~/.config/pulse/default.pa or /etc/pulse/default.pa ):

but there is no default.pa file inside pulse directory, nor in /etc neither in .config

their is one file client.conf

PulseAudio? I suspect you’re not even using PulseAudio. Try to change the configuration in wireplumber instead. Try these first:

Also, it would be great if you can post the output of inxi -A

Wireplumber’s documentation explains all the configuration options:

thanks, now its fine

When I was searching all the results were only for pulseaudio, and I did’t knew what I was using

here the output of inxi -A

Audio:

  Device-2: NVIDIA driver: snd_hda_intel
