Description Carlos Goncalves 2021-02-06 16:05:40 UTC 
No sound comes out of the headphone on A2DP profile. I did a couple of bluetooth re-pairings to no avail. Profile switching between A2DP and HFP/HSP, and audio output switching (laptop built-in speakers) did not help either.

Audio output on A2DP profile worked on pipewire 0.3.20, so it very likely a regression in 0.3.21:

Headphones: Bose NC 700 (SBC, AAC codecs)

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Play audio media (laptop built-in speakers)
2. Open GNOME Settings and pair headphone via bluetooth
3. Switch to "Sound" tab on GNOME Settings
4. Audio output changed from built-in speakers to headphones
   * Audio output: "Headphone - Bose NC 700 Headphones"
   * Configuration: "High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink)"
5. Sound is still coming out from built-in speakers
6. Test (left/right speakers) outputs no audio

Actual results:

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 34 development cycle.
Changing version to 34.

For the records, here you can find troubleshooting tips:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/wikis/Troubleshooting#bluetooth

Anyway, playback works for me if in Sound settings I choose the configuration called "High Fedelity Playback (A2DP Sink, codec SBC)". Sound testing and system sounds work fine.

Lollypop (flatpak) by default plays using the laptop builtin' speakers, because it's missing this permission:
