I have to re-pair my bluetooth earphones everytime otherwise they do not output sound

us flag

I have a pair of samsung galaxy buds+ earphones and have been using them on my ubuntu desktop. The problem is that everytime I disconnect them, the time I take them out of the case again, they get connected with the PC but don't output any sound. No sound profile appears associated with them and the sound output comes through the other speakers. If I remove the device and pair again, it works until the next time I keep the buds.

I am currently using PulseAudio. Tried switching to pipewire but then the A2DP profile did not work at all, so I switched back to PulseAudio.

Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT:

My log files have many instances, I believe regarding this issue:

src/service.c:btd_service_connect() a2dp-sink profile connect failed for XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX: Device or resource busy

src/service.c:ext_io_disconnected() Unable to get io data for Hands-Free Voice gateway: getpeername"Transport enfpoint is not connected (107)

I solved it by simply uninstalling and purging PulseAudio and rebooting the PC. Now PipeWire is on and fully functional. I have to manually switch to HSP profile when I have to use the microphone, but at least now I can go back to A2DP whenever I want to. Leaving it here in case someone has the same problem in the future.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
