[Solved] Pulseaudio stops being aware of bluetooth headset

I have a bluetooth headset that connects fine, but occasionally stops working. It remains connected in bluetoothctl, but when I open pavucontrol it is no longer in the list of output devices. If I disconnect then reconnect the headset in bluetoothctl it appears again.

This seems to only happen if there is some amount of time with no audio.

Thanks. I was looking in the wrong place. I thought it was a bluetooth issue not a pulseaudio issue.
