I reinstalled arch (KDE) after having multiple issues installing it (mostly with wifi) and I tried to connect my bluetooth speaker (Sony SRS-XG300) and it worked but it was incredibly muffled, the sound coming from my headset far away was even better, so i tried changing the sound quality and it went from terrible sound to no sound at all, it shows its playing sound in audio volume, yet nothing comes out. I checked if it was muted but it can't be, the only way to get it to play music is if the profile was Headset Head Unit. if not it would do the exact same and play no sound but show it was (extra detail: turning the speaker up results in a loud buzzing noise for some reason if that matters) I installed pipewire during the install, enabled bluetooth, restarted my pc and the only solutions i've seen are to install pipewire (already done) and change the profile (no volume) I'm relatively confused on what the issue could be since it also doesn't even work wired to the monitor, and then setting the monitor as the audio output.

(fairly new to arch, sorry if i get confused or if i left out certain details! let me know if anything is needed)

its SHOWING its playing audio but nothing is coming through, and i know it works with the other profile im supposed to use because on previous installs it worked flawlessly

tried removing the speaker from bluetooth on windows, did not work either

It turns out its not working with ANY linux distro now for some reason, just tried it on kubuntu and has the same issue

SOLVED: had to disable the mic.
