The bug is not present in the current development release of Ubuntu 22.04. Moreover, I've noticed that OS volume control is tied directly to the headphones.

This includes the "play/pause" button, "play next" (calls after long press of volume increase), and "play previous" (long press of volume decrease). The volume +/- buttons themselves are working, but this seemingly is implemented entirely in the headphones and does not require any communication over bluetooth. In previous ubuntu (21.04) these buttons worked, and I expect them working. My headset is Qumo Accord 3. Here is output of "inxi -Eaz" in terminal: Bluetooth: Device-1: Realtek Bluetooth Radio type: USB driver: btusb v: 0.8 bus-ID: 1-7:3 chip-ID: 0bda:b008 class-ID: e001 serial: <filter> Report: hciconfig ID: hci0 rfk-id: 1 state: up address: <filter> bt-v: 2.1 lmp-v: 4.0 sub-v: 9f73 hci-v: 4.0 rev: e2f Info: acl-mtu: 820:8 sco-mtu: 255:16 link-policy: rswitch hold sniff park link-mode: slave accept service-classes: rendering, capturing, object transfer, audio, telephony Some possible workarounds that I found suggest to "modprobe uinput", but the uinput module does not get loaded (lsmod does not list it even after modprobe'ing).
