I’m running Fedora 43 with a Sony WH-1000XM6 headset. When switching the audio profile from A2DP (High Fidelity) to HFP (Handsfree/Headset) to use the microphone, the session immediately crashes and kicks me to the login screen. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect bluetooth headset (Sony XM6) 2. Ensure profile is set to A2DP (Default) 3. In GNOME settings, switch sound output to handsfree OR trigger microphone usage in an app Actual Results: GNOME Shell session crashes and user is logged out Additional Information: coredumpctl shows gsd-media-keys aborting. Journal logs show an assertion failure in libgnome-volume-control (Gvc).
