Bluetooth fails to connect to some audio devices

Support Sound
, ,
1

Summary

I am having difficulties connecting to my bluetooth Sony WH1000XM3 headphones. Using either the KDE Plasma bluetooth gui or bluetoothctl achieves the exact same result of connecting for a couple seconds before my headphones make the disconnect sound and the connection drops. In these few seconds of connection, my headphones do not show up as a configurable device in sound settings. I have had no problems connecting my pair of Audiotechnica ATH-TWX7 earbuds with decent audio quality and minimal crackling.

Attempted solutions

I have tried

systemctl stop bluetooth
systemctl disable bluetooth
systemctl enable bluetooth
systemctl start bluetooth
  • installing and using blueman instead of the built in bluetooth GUI
  • connecting my headphones via 3.5mm cable (terrible audio quality, but that’s a different problem)

Could you try to use a wired keyboard, instead of the BT keyboard, and see if the connection to your XM3 drops?
If the issue persists, could you pair your XM3 to your mobile device, and see if the same issue happens?

My keyboard is actually using a wired connection at the moment with the bluetooth switch on my keyboard turned off. I currently have both an android phone and a windows laptop that work perfectly fine with my XM3 headphones, so I think the problem lies with either kernel drivers or software.

4

The key is to trust the device first, otherwise the Device connection will be refused.

Trust>Pair>connect

I had already done that before, I just forgot to trust the headphones again after forgetting it in bluetooth settings. Anyway, the problem is still there and the symptoms are unchanged.

I have more logs below in case it’s helpful. I think the “can’t read property of …” errors in this log are from un-pairing and re-pairing the device.

It looks like a symptom commonly displayed when user updated system without reboot, or when a power outtage when Manjaro was being used, but I cannot say for certain since it is not conclusive.

I would suggest 3 steps:

  1. update your system.
  2. reboot your system.
  3. factory reset your XM3 and pair again - this should remove any bug within your XM3.

if this approach fails, I am at my wit’s end.

I have already tried updating and rebooting. Interestingly when I factory reset my XM3 and attempted to connect, I got this verbose output which I have never seen before. Even better, the headphones stayed connected (until it automatically powered off after receiving no audio signal). Unfortunately, it is still not recognized as an audio device in KDE’s built in audio controls, in pavucontrol, or alsamixer :cry: .

Your original issue was connection drops.

And after factory reset, the connection became stable.
So I presume the issue is now resolved?

As for this new issue, don’t be too concerned, unless it affects the audio playing function.

9

I suppose factory resetting did fix the issue of bluetooth not connecting. The audio still doesn’t work, so I’ll just post a new topic for that. Thanks for your help!
