Audio Route Mismatch: Selected Device Shows Bluetooth When Wired Headset Is Active

[Kesavcontus]

Describe the bug
During an audio call, the audio device list initially shows Microphone and Speaker, which is correct.

When a Bluetooth device is connected, the audio route switches to Bluetooth, and the selected device is correctly updated based on the LiveKit SDK.

However, after connecting a wired headset, the audio route switches to the wired headset, but the selected device still shows Bluetooth. This mismatch is the issue.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1.Start an active call
2.Connect a Bluetooth device and verify the audio routing and selected device
3.Connect a wired headset and verify the audio routing and selected device (repeat one or more times if needed, e.g., on a OnePlus device)
4.Observe the issue

Expected behavior
The selected device should always reflect the actual audio route (i.e., it should show the wired headset when audio is routed to it).

We are also experiencing this persistent and inconsistent behavior.
Even when the earpiece or Bluetooth is selected, audio frequently routes through the speaker.
Setting forceHandleAudioRouting = true in AudioSwitchHandler improves the situation but does not fully resolve it.
The behavior is particularly erratic on Xiaomi devices compared to others.
We have also observed cases where audio plays through the speaker for a few seconds before automatically switching back to the correct source.
Overall, the audio output routing remains unstable across multiple scenarios.
