Been having trouble using apples airpods pro on manjaro linux it’s seems like when they do wanna connect no audio goes through them. Does anyone know how to set them up or if linux even has support for them?

    Assuming you are using PulseAudio here. On Void Linux, if I want to use my bluetooth speakers, I don’t get sound from them by just connecting. I have to launch pavucontrol, go to the “Configuration” tab, set “Built-in Audio” profile to “Off”. Maybe you need to do something like that too.

        you can probably install via pacman but looks like you don’t need to

    Put your AirPods Pro in pairing mode by pressing and holding the button on the back of the charging case until the contexto light on the front starts flashing white.

    Try these steps maybe it helps -

    • Install necessary packages with:

      sudo pacman -S bluez bluez-utils pulseaudio-bluetooth
      

      or for PipeWire:

      sudo pacman -S bluez bluez-utils pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack
      
    • Enable and start Bluetooth service:

      sudo systemctl enable bluetooth.service
      sudo systemctl start bluetooth.service
      
    • Pair the AirPods Pro using bluetoothctl:

      • Enter bluetoothctl, then power on.
      • Make device discoverable with scan on.
      • Put AirPods in pairing mode.
