after installing blueman again
powering off and on the headphones, I get..
grafik
linux is not for the weak of mind

@Kreijstal
Copy link

so I rebooted and sound was gone again, and I perfomed my daily ritual of trying random commands to see what sticks to the wall, I dont like casting

sudo dpkg-reconfigure bluez
sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base

but it seems in this case that did the trick along with other things.. let's see if it survives this reboot,

@Kreijstal

everything was fixed with Mint 22. Finally.
