User level: Level 1 (28 points)I have Kali LP-UNF studio monitors with Bluetooth.
Everything worked fine in MacOS 26. Just upgraded to MacOS 27, and now there is a problem: I can see the speakers in the Bluetooth list, and connect no problem.
But I cannot see the speakers in the Sound output list anymore.
I have forgotten the device and re-paired, still no luck. It still shows up in Bluetooth, and still can connect, but can never see the speakers in the list of output audio devices.

This might be a feature of the speakers that wasn't supported in 26.
I did some diagnostics and looking at logs, and the speakers were reporting back something that made me feel like they were trying to say "I already have something connected, go away" and maybe this status wasn't respected by 26 and is respected by 27?
Anyway, to get around it, finally I did this:
Power off the LP-UNF speakers
Unplug all other audio sources from speakers
Power on the speakers
Bluetooth pair with my laptop
Plug in other audio sources
Now I can disconnect/connect Bluetooth to the speakers even while something else is plugged into the speakers. Getting back the exact setup I had with MacOS 26 again.
It's been a while since I first set them up, but it's possible I already had set them up as mentioned above, and so it seems also possible there is no difference in how this setup acts under MacOS 26 vs 27.

make sure you have not enabled handoff.
