Hello everyone,
I’m using KDE Neon (Plasma 6.x, Wayland), fully updated. I have been experiencing ongoing Bluetooth issues for quite a long time and have not been able to resolve them.
Here is the situation:
-
I use Bluetooth for my headphones, mouse, and keyboard.
-
All devices connect successfully.
-
However, connections randomly drop from time to time.
-
The most noticeable issue is with the headphones:
-
When audio starts playing (especially after a short pause), the sound initially comes with distortion/static noise.
-
It sounds as if I am out of Bluetooth range.
-
This distortion lasts around 5–10 seconds, then the audio stabilizes and works normally.
-
-
I am physically very close to the computer, so this is not a distance issue.
This problem has existed for a long time and has not been resolved so far. Everything else in KDE works perfectly and I am very satisfied overall, but this Bluetooth instability is frustrating.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
Are there recommended settings (PipeWire, codec selection, power management, etc.) that I should check?
Could this be related to kernel, firmware, or power-saving behavior?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
