Bluetooth headphones low bitrate audio on Ally X
Often when I first connect Bluetooth headphones to Ally x mid game I get high quality audio over headphones (AirPods pro v2 in my case).
However I have noticed sometimes if I connect Bluetooth again after a suspend and wake after having previously played audio through Bluetooth, the audio will now be low bitrate or “crunchy” sounding.
I recall recently with F41 there was some work on a proper audio driver for Ally X, I’m wondering maybe in certain use cases that driver fails and it falls back to a generic but low quality method?

Looks like this is due to headphones defaulting back to HSP or headset mode due to a bug in wireplumber. Workaround for gaming mode found here: https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1087140957096517672/1312242082282209340
