[SOLVED] Bluetooth headphones stopped producing sound

After my recent arch linux update (which I do weekly), no sound comes out of my bluetooth headphones anymore.

Before I start to guess which packets to downgrade, maybe someone has an idea what may be wrong?

- The headphones are successfully paired/connected (in blueman-manager)
- pavucontrol correctly shows the headphones as the sink, and when the sound is supposed to happen, the VU meter line jumps as it should. I also checked that volume sliders are correct and nothing is muted.
- When I route sound to other devices (ordinary sound output rather than bluetooth headphones), sound works.
- Headphones work fine with other hosts (checked it with my debian laptop).
- Headphones model is SONY WH-1000XM4.

Thanks!

Downgrading of

libpulse
pulseaudio
pulseaudio-bluetooth

from 15.0-3 to 15.0-2 helped.
