I have a new problem with GNOME on Fedora 32. Since upgrading, I'm
unable to make my Bose QC 35 II headset the default audio device.
I'm not having trouble pairing, nor any general Bluetooth audio problem.
I can play audio through VLC, for example, because that application
lets me select my audio sink. If I select the headset as an audio
output in VLC, then audio is played back on the headset as expected.
However, the GNOME "Sound" preferences don't work as expected. I see
the headset there when it is on and connected. If I select the headset
as the Output Device, and then scroll down to select an Alert Sound at
the bottom of that preferences panel, those alerts will play back on the
headset. Nothing else that I've tested does. For example, the audio
tests from the Output Device "Test" button will play back on whichever
audio device was selected before I switched to the headset.
The problem seems to be specific to the headset. If I have an external
monitor connected with headphones plugged in, I'll have Speakers -
Built-in Audio as on option, and HDMI as another. Switching between
those works as expected. However, I can't switch from either of them to
the headset.
If I use "journalctl -f", I can see the following log messages when I
successfully switch between other audio output devices. When I switch
to the headset, there are no log messages.
