Thank you for reporting the bug. Since you say they worked recently, can you try downgrading bluez from 5.72-0ubuntu5.1 to 5.72-0ubuntu5?
apt install bluez=5.72-0ubuntu5 Reboot and check if they show up. I ask because there were some changes[1] to BlueZ in Noble that may affect device loading. If that doesn't help, please revert to back with `apt get upgrade` and follow the upstream troubleshooting steps[2]. Specifically attaching the pipewire-bluez.log file.

Status in pipewire package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: Ubuntu release: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS (GNOME 46, X11) Kernel version: Linux 6.11.0-26-generic Hardware: Lenovo Legion 5 15ACH6H, AMD Ryzen 5 5600H, NVIDIA RTX 3060, 16GB RAM PipeWire version: 1.0.5-1ubuntu3 WirePlumber version: 0.4.17-1ubuntu4 BlueZ version: 5.72-0ubuntu5.1 What I expected to happen: When connecting my Redmi Buds 5 Bluetooth earbuds, I expected them to appear as an audio device (bluez_card) and be available for audio output, as they did previously on this system. What happened instead: The Redmi Buds 5 connect via Bluetooth and show as connected, but do not appear as an audio device (no bluez_card in pactl list short cards), so they cannot be used for audio. Other Bluetooth headsets (e.g., Soundcore) work as expected and appear as audio devices. Additional information: The issue started recently; the earbuds worked previously on Ubuntu 24.04. All relevant packages are up to date. I have tried removing configs, reinstalling packages, and using both bluetoothctl and the GNOME GUI to connect. The earbuds work fine on other devices (e.g., Android phone). Logs and further details can be provided if needed.
