Debian Bookworm Mate: BT headphones don't appear on hardware list despite they are connected
Hello
I use Sony WH-1000XM4 BT headphones. Prior to upgrading Debian to Bookworm, everything worked flawlessly.
Now the situation is strange: I'm able to connect my phones by bluetoothctl. I'm able to select them as default sink in pacmd and play sound samples on them (using pacmd) - technically everything works.
But they never appear in sound manager applet, and when chosen as the default sink by pacmd I have no sound at all from web browser, spotify etc.
What may be the reason? How to debug this situation? What is the connection/interface between the sound hardware manager I have on my taskbar and the list of sound devices visible in pacmd?
upd: it is actually not "sound hardware manager", I meant "volume control applet".

Reason: fix terminology

I am not a big user of bluetooth, so this is sort of a shot in the dark, but, if you have not already done so, install the Pulse Audio Mixer (pavucontrol). It's in the repos and it gives much more granular control that typical volume control applications.
If I'm totally off the mark, I'm sure someone who knows more about bluetooth than I will set me straight.

I see....
It was all about running pulseaudio in per-user mode
Code:
systemctl --user restart pulseaudio.service
instead of old-style:
