My bluetooth headphones work with pulseaudio-bluetooth and bluez, but if I install pipewire, it fails, although bluetoothctl indicates that they have successfully connected. Bluetooth fails with Pipewire even when I am not using pipewire-pulse.

EDIT:
Apparently the script mentioned here solves my problem. So, even though everything is working for pipewire and bluetooth, apparently it is not switching over to the bluetooth sink and/or not directing input to the bluetooth sink. I suppose for now, I will use the script. For anyone else reading this, don't forget to edit the udev rule to reflect the bluetooth device you are using.

What about out of sync BT audio/video with PW? Anyone have that? Contrary to PA you can't set an offset latency
