Description Emre Tuncez 2023-06-23 19:52:16 UTC

Hi, the problem is sound breaks time to time while I'm listening to music or watching a video from internet. I've seen some comments that it happens due to having multiple bluetooth connections like paired tws earphones and mouse dongle which setup I exactly have. I tried few time using my earphones without connecting my mouse but it didn't solve my problem either.

I'm on openSUSE Tumbleweed, KDE Plasma 5.27.6 and X11

Installed bluetooth and sound softwares are;

Hm, it's not clear which layer triggers the problem.  We need to narrow down the condition.  Could you check whether it happens even if you connect a single BT headphone as a start?
