My AirPods connect and work for audio but I can't pause and play by tapping the earbuds.
Window manager is i3
I installed pipewire-pulse package
In pavucontrol I selected Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP, codec mSBC) profile. I also tried High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink, codec AAC)
I tried with and without mpris-proxy
I've tried with brave, firefox, vlc and clementine. See the mpris-proxy output. Here is the output from some commands that might be helpful. Let me know if you need anything else.

I have it working. I forgot that I had created this drop in file for bluetooth.service (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Blueto … low_volume) sometime back. Removing it resolved the issue.
