After upgrading to F36, the a2dp codecs for bluetooth audio have gone missing. I tried uninstalling
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth and installing pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-freeworld as described here. But that just ended up removing a bunch of necessary stuff. Anybody get this working in F36?
The better way to do what is shown in that link would be to do sudo dnf swap pulseaudio-module-bluetooth pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-freeworld --allowerasing since that will avoid having the removal erase necessary dependencies.
With that said, since pulseaudio was replaced by wireplumber/pipewire most of those packages were obsoleted. This probably accounts for why the packages you are concerned with disappeared.
Have you tried first doing a sudo distro-sync --refresh --allowerasing to get everything audio in sync with the distro to see if it will work for you or not?
It also may be related to having some config file for audio in your home directory that is now interfering with proper audio operation.
I suggest that you do the distro-sync suggested above, then if your regular user still has audio/bluetooth issues create a new user and log in as that user to see if a clean user profile has the same errors. Let us know the results.
My system has no a2dp packages of any kind installed and audio works.
Thanks for that reply. The problem isn’t that the audio doesn’t work, it’s that the default Bluetooth codec (HSP/HFP) sounds bad and that the a2dp sounds much better with a Bluetooth box.
I tried the distro-sync and there were no changes.
I’m now hesitant to swap out the audio.
Do you have an a2dp code available for Bluetooth audio devices?

My system has no a2dp packages of any kind installed. I cannot test bluetooth since I do not have bluetooth headphones or speakers but my other audio outputs work well.

The plot thickens. I just checked another bluetooth box, it it connects with a2dp flawlessly. But the original one still doesn’t show an a2dp profile. I disconnected and repaired the device, but still there’s no a2dp for the original device.
I. Am. Very. Confused.
Any tips?
Similar problem here.
Fedora 37
Sony WI-C100 bluetooth headphones, manual states connected pc’s must support a2dp
The device shows as paired but does not show up audio output options
I tried sudo dnf swap pulseaudio-module-bluetooth pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-freeworld --allowerasing to no effect.
Hello! I’m experiencing a similar issue. It seems to have started after a dnf update in the last few weeks as my headphones were working just fine since I started using F36 months ago.
My Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones will connect, but are not recognized as an A2DP sink. They only show up with HSP/HFP profiles. My Beats Fit Pro headphones won’t even connect.
None of the solutions for older Fedora versions that come up from a web search seem to be relevant anymore.
Here’s some of my output if it helps anyone:

It seems like bluez didn’t ready the device for about an hour after it was paired.
I opened an issue in bluez to see if the devs have any input (no pun intended).
