Hi,
Found the issue: it stemmed from using a non-official pulseaudio 15.0 package (which i needed for better BT sound quality, given that I am in calls several hours a day). Still weird that the same package, same configuration etc was working on one laptop and not on the other. The more recent official pulseaudio TW package seems to offer decent audio quality too and does not exhibit the same problem.
You could also try pipewire, and specifically the one from Packman as it has the AptX codec available. /Syds
Kind regards, Erwin

Hi,
Small update: Hardware Bus 001 Device 005: ID 8087:0a2b Intel Corp. Bluetooth wireless interface
Tried rolling back the kernel and kernel firmware, to 5.13.8-1-default and 20210719 without success. Previous update on that laptop was about a month ago, so maybe this is not back far enough or the issue lies somewhere else.

hear a sound, even though pavucontrol still shows output signals being generated.
I suspect it is a bluetooth issue rather than an audio issue. journalctl shows me: Aug 23 14:28:36 RBT-work kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: SCO packet for unknown connection handle 0
bluez received an update with TW20210817 (fix bluez-auto-enable-devices subpackage).Anyway, before opening a bug report, you should give kernel-default-5.13.12-5.1.g33df9c6.x86_64 from Kernel:stable a try, which contains some recent Bluetooth fixes.
