Bluetooth controller issues

From your inxi output I can offer some observations about your system which may be generally helpful.

Kernel 6.11 has reached EOL (early December, last year); it is no longer supported. This kernel could be replaced with kernel 6.12 (the current LTS) with 6.6 (LTS) as a failsafe, for example.


I notice the BIOS is getting rather old.

If the following link reflects your mainboard, your current BIOS appears to be version 7C37vAC released in January, 2021; The latest non-beta BIOS available seems to be 7C37vAO (2024-08-09).

An updated BIOS will often include fixes to known problems, support for updated technologies, and mitigations for security issues.


This is your bluetooth hardware as reported by your system, and may be helpful for others wishing to help. I note that it seems to be detected; beyond that, I can’t comment.


You indicated some difficulty with your connected NTFS partitions. The following article relates to some of the pitfalls that might be encountered when using NTFS on a Linux based system;

This is purely informational; however, does highlight the importance of only using chkdsk in a Windows environment to correct NTFS filesystem errors.


You have no swap configured. This is something you might wish to attend to whenever convenient.


While attending to any of these points noted may help improve your system to some degree, I’m unable to help with bluetooth (I don’t use it), so I shall defer to others who might offer better advice on bluetooth. @nikgnomic
