pipewire-pulse Suspending on pausing video/audio

BTW i use Arch
I am running

Linux arch 5.15.43-1-lts

And I've issue with bluetooth headphones whenever i watch some video or stream some music.
On pausing it completely suspends pipewire-pulse .
For instance if i am watching some video on VLC media player , and if i pause and resume i stop getting sound.
The same happens for Spotify and youtube
Here is output for

To fix it everytime i have execute the following

systemctl restart bluetooth.service

and

systemctl --user restart pipewire-pulse.service

I searched for fix but i did now worked..
BTW i am on arch i use blueman pipewire pulse..
Anything else do i  need to provide with?

Try wireplumber and look up the logs if and why bluetooth crashes.

Re: pipewire-pulse Suspending on pausing video/audio

Any problems with the reinstall?
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 5#p2024635

In all seriousness, is there any chance there are files involved that are not managed by Arch Linux?
