The short is, I have a bluetooth headset that I had connected and working. This was working great, until I paired the headset with another device. After this, things went downhill.
Since pairing with another device, every time I connect to this headset with my Arch machine, it crashes. It crashes, in that hyprland goes away. I am not sure what state the machine is in, all I have is black screen. If I hit ALT+CTL+DEL it reboots.
I have tried to unpair and re-pair, same thing. Each time it connects to this headset, down I go.
I am not familiar enough with Arch to know where to even look for problem. I tried to scan journalctl for errors, but I don't see anything particular...
help!

Hi !
I have the same issue here. Did you fix it ?

I now have the same problem.
My Soundcore Space Q45 headset has been working flawless since I switched to arch.
After a restart of my system, I logged in and then switched on my headphones.
I heard the bluetooth connection sound and then Gnome crashed to the login screen and my headphones played the disconnect sound.
Before I could login, the headphones connected again and the screen went black for a second before the login screen appeared again.
This would loop until I switched off the headphones.
My other Bluetooth earbuds still work without any problems.
I've unpaired/untrusted/repaired the headset but nothing works.
Did you find a solution?

I have problem with bluetooth headset like following:
1. Can successfully pair the device through bluetooth and play audio on that no problem
2. When try to join Microsoft Teams meeting using browser (Chrome, Firefox), at provide permission to access headset's microphone => GNOME crash, auto logout
I guess the problem is between pipewire and bluetooth as It have no problem when using an usb dongle to connect the headset to computer

I've also posted the bug to the CachyOS forums: https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/gnome-cra … cted/20755
I posted it here first, because that was the only thread about the problem I could find.
Duckduckgo found another thread on https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=449210 but the site seems to be down ATM.
Looks like something in gsd-media-keys causes a Gvc:ERROR.

Exact same issue with a Sony 1000xm4. Gsd-media-key seems to crash when connecting the headset.

As per https://github.com/bluez/bluez/issues/1767
wpctl settings bluetooth.autoswitch-to-headset-profile false mitigates the issue for me.

Original bug and workaround here https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libgnome … te_2643955
(downgrade wireplumber and libwireplumber to 0.5.12)

Thanks that fixed it for me!
Edit: use the --save switch to make it persistent.
