The BT earbuds w/ mic Jabra Elite 85t generally work good but sometime it gets messy after a while I have to put them back in the box, or even restart the system.
I am using Ubuntu 22.10 freshly installed - default is Pipewire / Wireplumber.
This is what happens when I get the Jabra out their box and they automatically connect to BT as they're paired - from journalctl -f

Two potential issues here. First device is tagged as a keyboard...
(II) event24 - Jabra Elite 85t (AVRCP): is tagged by udev as: Keyboard
And the final line is red as in error:

If I run systemctl status bluetooth.service I get:

This answer suggest to install a missing dependency.
Debian Pipewire documentation (https://wiki.debian.org/PipeWire) suggests that:
"For Debian 12 and newer, pipewire-audio-client-libraries is replaced by pipewire-alsa and pipewire-jack. ".
My Ubuntu 22.10 system does not have any of those three deps installed.
Finally this is the sound control panel:
