So I did the jump and bought myself some good Sennheiser Accentum Plus headphones which are overall pretty good, the only issue I’m facing is that the headphones itself didn’t come with buttons to skip/pause music and instead uses a touch panel, the problem is that when I try to skip a song or pause it with the touch panel it doesn’t work at all, it works nice in my phone but on my Linux system it doesn’t. I tried with different programs and it doesn’t change anything.

Someone have some advice? I’m using ArcoLinux i3

    Most likely the headphones are doing the translation and end up sending a normal signal like any other headphone would. Meaning that if it’s not working it’s either the app you are using in Linux, the drivers, or the DE.

    Give us some more details on what software you were using on Linux, what distro you are using and what DE

    Maybe start by checking if other headphones have the same issue and maybe the arch wiki since it has a Bluetooth page
