[LE-Beats Studio Pro tilhørende j, playback] Playback problem

[Jan Ulrich Thomsen]

I am no longer able to change pulseaudio card profile from a2dp_sink to handsfree_head_unit
It used to work before running apt upgrade where I got a new kernel 6.5.0-14-generic #14~22.04.1-Ubuntu installed. As you can see below - and actual experience with the headphones, there is no problem switching to and from off and a2dp_sink but I can no longer get to the handsfree_head_unit.

journalctl -b -f gives the follwing error message when trying to activate the handsfree_head_unit profile:

myleno pulseaudio[405145]: Refused to switch profile to handsfree_head_unit: Not connected
