I am seeing the same problem in stable 13.6, package version 5.82-1.1. Updating the kernel and firmware-mediatek packages from backports didn't help.
I manually backported bluez-5.85-4 from testing, and this DID fix the problem. Relevant installed packages: ii bluetooth 5.85-4~bpo13+1 ii bluez 5.85-4~bpo13+1 ii libbluetooth3:amd64 5.85-4~bpo13+1 ii libspa-0.2-bluetooth:amd64 1.4.2-1 ii firmware-mediatek 20250410-2 ii linux-image-6.12.95+deb13-amd64 6.12.95-1 One of my CPUs being pinned at 100% usage while streaming music over Bluetooth severely drains the battery life on my laptop, so perhaps this bug is of a higher priority, and a stable update is needed? Thanks.
