Any help on this would be super appreciated… I have a newborn at home and bought some fancy noise-canceling earbuds so that I could sleep through the crying but can’t get them to work with my laptop!
I’m running ubuntu 21.10 on a framework laptop with an Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 wireless card. I downloaded the iwlwifi-ty-59.601f3a66.0.tgz driver from here and put it in /lib/firmware as suggested here, so should be up-to-date. Also all my packages are up-to-date.
I want to listen to audio through my bluetooth headset instead of the laptop’s built-in speakers. However, it doesn’t seem to show up in pavucontrol no matter what I do, despite the headset successfully pairing.
I went down the kernel rabbit hole, given the discussion here suggests my kernel:
$ uname -r
5.13.0-22-generic
Is “not recommended.” I tried installing both 5.12 and 5.15 with mainline, but then secureboot didn’t like it, and when I disabled that it went straight into some kind of drive partitioning menu that I didn’t understand instead of booting (maybe something to do with zfs or my encrypted disk?). In any case, since bluetooth does appear to pair I fear that I’m wasting a lot of time with that…
My bluetooth device is successfully pairing:

However, I can’t get it to show up in pavucontrol:
$ pacmd list-sinks
1 sink(s) available.

I have the module-bluetooth-discover and have tried:
$ pactl unload-module module-bluetooth-discover
$ pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover

Here’s the output of list-modules:
