Unity breaks sound

[Salieri]

When using Unity sound crashes and there is no sound in headphones (bluetooth) at all. Reboot and closing Unity helps. I am new to OS so I dont know how it relates to previous releases

hello @Salieri,
welcome to the purple universe

if you use bluez, then note the following thread(briefly explained, it hangs with the bluez update)

Update to bluez* 5.67-1 crashes bluetooth.service if audio is played

Crashing seem to happen only after trying to play audio through the BT-connection. systemctl status bluetooth.service: bluetoothd[4257]: profiles/audio/avdtp.c:avdtp_connect_cb() connect to 00:18:XX:XX:XX:XX: Host is down (112) bluetoothd[4257]: profiles/audio/avctp.c:avctp_control_confirm() Control: Refusing unexpected connect systemd[1]: bluetooth.service: Main process exited, code=dumped, status=11/SEGV systemd[1]: bluetooth.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'. After that running bluet…

This is how you can find out whether bluez is installed:

yay -Qs bluez

if then a result is there as by me

[pycrk@eno ~]$ yay -Qs bluez
local/bluez 5.67-1
    Daemons for the bluetooth protocol stack
local/bluez-libs 5.67-1
    Deprecated libraries for the bluetooth protocol stack
local/bluez-qt 5.107.0-1 (kf5)
    Qt wrapper for Bluez 5 DBus API
local/bluez-utils 5.67-1
    Development and debugging utilities for the bluetooth protocol stack
[pycrk@eno ~]$ 

then bluez( bluez 5.67-1) is installed on your system

@Update to bluez* 5.67-1 crashes bluetooth.service if audio is played

systemctl status bluetooth.service

Thanks, glad to be here)

Now when you asked I cant catch the issue(
But when I switched to wired mode of headphones all started work perfectly. And also I had exactly same issues as user from post that you quoted, so at least I can assure you that this is problem with bluez.

If I catch this problem - I will reply here with thread

probably best to downgrade bluez and wait for the next update
