[SOLVED] pavucontrol doesn't automatically switch audio output

Hello, when I connect my bluetooth headphones I have to switch the default output in pavucontrol. Is there a way to automatically switch to headphones when connected?
I use bluez, pulseaudio and blueman (I remember that blueman had a headphone plugin in the past but now there isn't any plugin like that)

additional info: if I connect (by jack) my wired headphones, the audio automatically switch to headphones. I don't know why this doesn't happen for bluetooth headphones

Sorry, I don't know about you problem, but may I suggest you switching to Pipewire?
Could you try it?

You need to add

load-module module-switch-on-connect

to your /etc/pulse/default.pa
