For months, my Bluetooth headphones worked flawlessly on Linux. Paired once, connected instantly, pressed play, and music, videos, and calls behaved exactly the way they should, on a modern Linux computer. No drama, no fiddling, no ancient Linux audio nightmares. Then the gremlins showed up. First, it was the occasional stutter or random disconnects. Sometimes the headphones connected but produced no sound at all. Other times, the audio quality suddenly dropped to what can only be described as a “conference call from a submarine.”
