Audio gets pitched down when using Bluetooth headphones

[spacedragon42]

Hello everyone,

every time I connect my Bluetooth headphones to my Steam Deck the audio is very delayed and pitched down a lot. I always need to disconnect and reconnect them to fix it.

It's a really annoying bug. Is there a fix for this issue?

The delay is because valve is not using aptx low latency by default in game mode, so you get a good 200ms of audio delay on bluetooth without the LL codec. But ive never heard of the downpitch thing before, hella weird,

This is happening to my bt earbuds too. I always forget for the first 30 seconds, before switching to wired headphones.

Just now, I disconnected the earbuds in the bt menu and reconnected and it's fine. No down pitched audio. Weird.

I've found nothing but the last updates seemed to have made it happen less. But maybe I'm just imagining it.
