Hello! I’m new on this forum (and in openSUSE as well) and maybe I should start this topic in a Hardware category, but seems like the problem is whis PipeWire, so I’ll start it here.
I’ve just installed openSUSE Tumbleweed and found that I have no H2DP sound sound in my BH317 bluetooth headphones, only HSP/HFP. When I try to set up H2DP in Plasma System Settings this option is available, but I hear only silens. Can anybody help me?
I’ve found a hint here: PipeWire - ArchWiki (5.1.12) and it looks like my case, but I’m unsure because I have no such configs neitherr in /etc, nor in ~/.config, though wirepluber is installed. Mayby ArchWiki is a bit outdated and newer versions of wireplumer keep thair config anywhere else?
In my attempts to found pipewire’s configs I’ve discovered a strange thing: systemctl cannot found neither pipewire.service, nor wireplumber.service, nor even pulseaudio service as well. Though, pipewire and wireplumber are running according to process list.

But I have sound both from my headphones, though in HSP/HFP, and from built-in speakers in my laptop. System is fresh, newly installed few days ago. I would be grateful to any idea about this.
Oh, I’ve forgot --user argument. What a foolish mistake!
But well, I’ve created wireplumber directory in ~/.config and then added a wireplumber.conf.d/bluez-config.conf as the ArchWiki recomended with such lines:
And then I did $ systemctl --user restart wireplumber
And… Nothing. I still have no A2DP sound
I started to think that maybe the idea to switch back to PulseAudio is not as bad
Well, it shows connections between app and headphones, when i try to play sound, but still silence.
Also, I’ve paired headphones with my phone to check them and they work, so problem is somewhere in software
I can’t find here any hints, it looks like everything is working and my pactl output seems to be the same is yours, only PIN and device name are different
I have no idea about Sink number, to be honest. There is another suspended sink of my laptop’s speakers, it has high number too. Here is missed output of command from previous message:
Yes, I have also a second Sink with Description: Built-in Audio Analog Stereo. I have speakers connected to it and I can run audio on them.
For you it is presumably connected to the laptop speakers, if you select it as active sink do you hear then audio? Does the laptop have an audio connector, if so can you connect a wires headphone and test that?
Well, my laptop has audio connector, but the headphones’ connector is broken, so I can’t test it. Also, I have neither /etc/pipewire/, nor /etc/wirepluber/ directories, only ~/.config/wireplumer/ with wireplumber.conf.d/bluez-config.conf, wich I’ve created by myself, as I wrote here early. So, I suppose, my Pipewire settings are already default. Maybe, I should try to write something in configs instead?
I did not configure anything and the headphone works. Diffing your config with mine I saw that api.bluez5.codec was different (aptx_hd vs sbc_xq) but I assumed this was because of an auto-config.
I would still suggest to start with a clean config, maybe backup-ing what you currently have.
It didn’t work out of the box, when all configs were clean. The sbc codeces were in the ArchWiki, were I’ve found this solution, but even before that they were autodetected by KDE System Settings, so I’ve decided to leave it.
Wow, finaly I have sound! I’ve checked if the codeces are installed, and found that I have only libsbc, but nothing about sbc-xq. But I tested sound only on SBC-XQ. I’ve switched on SBC and now it works
So, the problem was with the codec. Anyway, thank you for help!
