I have a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones. On my Arch laptop, I have no issues with them. On my desktop (running what I _think_ is an identical stack) they aren't properly detected/usable until I restart the bluetooth service.
When I boot the machine (or resume from suspend), the headphones do pair via bluetooth, but do not always show up in PavuControl at all. If they do show up in PavuControl, they appear in hfp configuration with the a2dp configuration disabled.
When I restart bluetooth, they re-connect and suddenly the a2dp profile is available and everything works as expected until the next suspend.
I'm running wireplumber, pipewire, and bluez all at the latest version at the time of this posting.
This the log from wireplumber after a fresh boot:

wireplumber 0.4.14-1I have not attempted any custom configuration for wireplumber or pipewire.
The above logs get me into the state where the device is bluetooth paired but not available in pavucontrol. Happy to provide more if needed.
Does anyone know what might be going wrong here? I've been trying to sort through the noise in the logs, but I'm not getting useful search engine hits. I've noticed the warnings about xdg portal, but I don't understand them because both xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-wlr are running. Perhaps they're started afterwards?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I realized that the problem was somehow running _both_ PipeWire and PulseAudio. I think PulseAudio must have been installed as a dependency of something else a while back and maybe defaulted to enabled? Or perhaps it was socket-activated because I was missing the `pipewire-pulse` package? Either way, both audio daemons were running and fighting over my various devices installing `pipewire-pulse` and `pipewire-alsa` and a reboot fixed the problem (I also uninstalled `pulseaudio`).
