Problems with Bluetooth earphones (A2DP sink)

So I am using "airdopes 141" (pipewire and wireplumber setup) which is a bluetooth earphone and I have `Built-in Audio Analog Stereo` which is the speaker of my computer. When I connect my computer to airdopes 141 everything works perfectly but after sometime like 1 or 2 hour I was not able to hear any sound in my computer. I tried to investigate the issue and so I opened pavucontrol and saw that my default audio profile for "airdopes 141" which was ""High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink, codec AAC)"" and the codec was AAC got changed to some other shit ""Headset head Unit (HSP/HFP, codec mSBC)"" the codec was mSBC. I tried to choose the default one by clicking on the drop down but there was no  ""High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink, codec AAC)"" . I had to turn my airdopes off and turn it back on. It worked for a while but I am facing the same issue again and again. sad

Here is the output -

Re: Problems with Bluetooth earphones (A2DP sink)

Some applications might be trying to use your microphone, which leads to Pipewire using the headset profile.
If you don't like this behavior, try turning off automatic profile selection as instructed in the Wiki

It says no such file or directory so I have to make the file right ?

I did eveything but the problem still persists and my earphone automatically switches to HSP sMBC profile -  

[rounak@archissexy 23:46 ~]$ cat /etc/wireplumber/policy.lua.d/11-bluetooth-policy.lua
bluetooth_policy.policy["media-role.use-headset-profile"] = false
[rounak@archissexy 23:46 ~]$  cat ~/.config/wireplumber/policy.lua.d/11-bluetooth-policy.lua
bluetooth_policy.policy["media-role.use-headset-profile"] = false
[rounak@archissexy 23:47 ~]$

Re: Problems with Bluetooth earphones (A2DP sink)

Ok ok so long story short I am facing 2 problems one after the another.

1) I was facing this problem - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWi … _selection . I fixed it and it was very easy.
2) Now I am facing this problem - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWi … oth_device
How did I know that? Well because after running 'pactl set-default-sink 60' I immediately got my sound back. The problem is that the bash script that is mentioned in the arch wiki does not work. I am a linux beginner and I am trying to learn bash script so I tried running the script and got errors on my terminals which I am not  being able to figure out. Is there an alternative for the bash script ?

I tried to run the modified version of the script and still got errors -
I modified the line 9 of the script.
