I just bought my Fairbuds last week, and i wanted to say that they are the greatest airpods style earbuds i ever had.
But lately i wanted to pair them with my Linux laptop with no results. They keep disconnecting. No matter what i do.
On all my other devices (Android, Windows 10/11) they work great.
I already tried to restart said laptop with no revail
I got simillar problems with my TV, and steam deck, in fact the only one that works good is my phone FP4
Depending on which Linux system (Kernel version) you are running, bluetooth may not work properly.
Have you tried to fully delete your Fairbuds from the BT stack and re-register and thrust them again?
I twice had the problem after a kernel update. Bluetooth did not work properly anymore. The first time I had to wait for the next kernel update (LMDE 5). Now again with a problem after a new kerne update (meanwhile LMDE 6) I could get it to work again using pulseeffects and play with buffer values.
I’m curious for how long I can rely on it again.
I may have found a workaround for those that are affected. It looks like blueman has difficulties connecting to the fairbuds. I have solved it with KDE’s Bluedevil.
You have to install Bluedevil, and run bluedevil-wizard from the terminal. Then search for the fairbuds. If you get a pop-up with a code, just connect to it. And it works.
Hope this gets fixed in the future, and i hope this work-around works for everyone
