Where to file: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ β Component likely kernel (Bluetooth subsystem) or wireplumber, depending on where the regression actually originates. If unsure, file against kernel first β triagers will reassign to the correct component if it's actually a userspace issue.
Summary: Bluetooth speaker volume slider has no effect on actual output volume after upgrading to kernel 7.1.3-200
Component: bluez (strong candidate β see note below; kernel component may still apply if triage disagrees)
A troubleshooting reference for Realtek RTL88x2BU USB Wi-Fi adapters losing
connectivity after a Fedora kernel update (e.g. updating to a 7.1.x kernel).
- Wi-Fi worked fine before a kernel update.
- After rebooting into the new kernel, there is no Wi-Fi toggle/interface available, and manually adding a network does nothing.
Note: This is a workaround, not a root-cause fix. It disables hardware volume control for Bluetooth devices rather than resolving the underlying volume-mapping bug. If a proper upstream fix lands (kernel or WirePlumber), this page will be updated.
- After updating to kernel
7.1.3-200(or similar), Bluetooth speaker volume control stops working correctly. - The volume slider (KDE Plasma, GNOME, or other DE) moves visually, but has no effect on the actual output volume of the connected Bluetooth speaker.
- Can result in the speaker playing at full/maximum volume regardless of the slider position β potentially very loud/startling on reboot.
