From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hmm, are you really using PulseAudio, or is it actually PipeWire?
If it's the former, I'd recommend getting rid of all PulseAudio packages first, and then switch to PipeWire by installing the following packages: pipewire pipewire-audio pipewire-pulse wireplumber. Then enable and start the necessary services and test (maybe reboot for good measure).
The Arch Wiki covers all the details. On a normal system, you shouldn't need to do any special config besides enabling the services.
Can confirm, I had a heck of a time figuring out Bluetooth and sound myself. The distro I was using came with Bluetooth hard disabled and PulseAudio by default. The wiki, these four packages, and setting my Bluetooth to autostart on login got everything working with minimal hassle.
