Disable bluetooth earbuds control [SOLVED partially]

Hi,
I have two sets of bluetooth earbuds each of which have touch-based media controls (tap to start/stop/pause playback, volume up/down, etc.). Both sets of earbuds do not support disabling the touch controls.
I would like to disable those controls because it is too sensitive and it stops video all the time.
I m on KDE Plasma.
Thanks

Could you please say some of the things you've tried? Also could you give both the model of the earbuds, and what you use to control bluetooth (I'm assuming bluetoothctl)?
Thank you, I Hope I can help!

Disable loading of the avrcp plugin as e.g. described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Blueto … low_volume

It seems to work better. My earbuds are "Air Plus pro 2"
I will see if it cut more or often than before
Thanks

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/bluetooth.target.wants/bluetooth.service

ExecStart=/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd --noplugin=avrcp

It works but there is a side effect, it tooks between 20s to 30s to have sound on the earbuds. So when i switch i can see audio level that moves with the music but no sound until maybe 30s
