Bluetooth audio connection problems

Support Audio
1

I have a pair of Bluetooth earphones that used to connect and work fine but now the option to pair is greyed out in the blueman-manager. I noticed that the packages manjaro meta bluetooth is not installed and neither is pulseaudio bluetooth. If I try to install the later I get an error as such :-

could not satisfy dependencies:

  • removing pipewire-pulse breaks dependency ‘pipewire-pulse’ required by manjaro-pipewire

I don’t know why it wants to remove these and if I even need those bluetooth packages installing.

The bluetooth dongle sees my headphones :-

Confused ?

Restart your Device and then…

Try to connect in this order:
Trust>Pair>Connect.

It’s already trusted and paired. If I try to remove the device by right click, remove it does not remove them. Also the option to search for new devices is greyed out. I can turn the Bluetooth adaptor on and off ok.

It doesn’t matter if it trusted and paired already… remove both and restart your device.

Update. I installed the 6.15 kernel and now the connect option appears and they work. I did get these errors on boot now…

Selecting the REMOVE option on kernel 6.12 previously did nothing. It would not remove the device.

Welcome to the Manjaro community

As a new or infrequent forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements, and the many ways to use the forum to your benefit:

Update Announcements

The Update Announcements contain important information and a Known Issues and Solutions section that should generally be checked before posting a request for support.

System Information

While information from *-fetch type apps might be fine for someone wishing to buy your computer, for Support purposes it’s better to ask your system directly; :eyes:

Output of the inxi command with appropriate parameters will achieve this (naturally, formatted according to forum guidelines) and will generally be more useful for those wishing to help:

inxi --filter --verbosity=8

or the short form:

inxi -zv8

Be prepared to provide output from other commands whenever asked. It’s equally important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem.
