Airpods Pro 2 Unable to Connect Properly - Desktop
Hello! I do believe I have encountered a bug, although I am not entirely sure of the specifics as to why it's happening. So- I am running a desktop rig (12400F, 3080, Alienware R13 Aurora chipset), and my Airpods Pro 2s are not connecting properly. This wasn't an issue when I was using Linux Mint, and they worked perfectly fine there without any tweaks- so I know it's not a surface level hardware incompatibility.
Putting my Airpods into their pairing mode causes two different devices to show up in the KDE desktop bluetooth pairing GUI. They are both identically named (Airpods - Find My). Attempting to connect to either of them is successful- but they do not behave correctly. Audio is played only through the right ear (with poor quality, likely not using SBC or AAC), and active noise canceling is disabled by default. The left earbud stem button is defunct, but it still does make a clicking sound. Attempting to change the ANC mode with the right earbud stem causes it to make its 'denied' noise, and nothing happens. The earbuds connect to the computer automatically when their case is opened as expected.
bluetoothctl distinctly shows two different MAC addresses for the Airpods. I haven't been able to successfully connect to both addresses at the same time.
Please let me know if any extra information is needed, and I will get it to you ASAP.
