Try with #12805

[cmalvi]

I've tried now with lastest build, 0.0.24-14266-cf86b6c1 and same result

Use build from the linked pr, not master

I also have this issue, but as a Windows guy using Steam Deck and Linux for the first time, I'm clueless about how to test #12805

After a quick test here's my feedback:

• launch a game without Bluetooth headphones

• connect Bluetooth headphones, no more crash

• audio now switch output to headphones correctly

• put headphones in their case to disconnect

• rpcs3 now doesn't output audio to speaker

• reconnect headphones

• now rpcs3 output to speaker again

• disconnect headphones

• rpcs3 mute again

Note: loop last 5 step

So it works but there are some problems returning to previous output

So there must be an issue with the device choice after a disconnect.

Downloaded the latest update from Steam Deck using Discover, and this seems fixed to me. What I did:

1. Booted game, sounds is coming through speakers.
2. Connected to bluetooth speakers (google nest mini, a surprisingly decent BT speaker), connects fine, no crashing, audio is ok.
3. Turned SD to sleep
4. Resumed play, audio is coming from speakers. Connected to Bluetooth speakers again , no issues.

Repeated this process twice with Spiderman Shattered Dimensions and still working fine, so it looks fixed to me.

Flatpak version isn't an official build
