Bluetooth headphones only work in headset mode, no headphone profile
Heya, I have a PC on which I don't always use BT headphones, but I have done so in the past few months now and then with no issue. Today I re-paired some OpenFit2 and found that they only worked in headset mode. Blueman-manager only shows the "headset" option in the dropdown.
pactl list cards output:

Help! Any ideas? I tried downgrading bluez and wireplumber but saw no change...
