I was looking through the Arch bug database and I noticed the below defect which describes after successfully pairing with the bluetoothctl command that after a reboot and trying to re-use that device the person could not re-connect (unless they re-paired). In my case this is what is happening to me. Ofcourse I an using the 5.4.67-1-MANJARO LTS.
FS#68346 : [linux] bluetooth device drops after sleep or reboot)
You will see that I can use bluetoothctl to connect to my headphones with correct audio settings once I manually trust the device. If I donât trust it will thing the headphones are a keyboard.
@clarkkozak Clark can you try the below routine which exercises the bluetooth functionality of your device? Note I captured the output of when i ran it to show my bluetooth fuctionality.
I hope you updated your Bios too!
(1) Start bluetoothctl and verify that your bluetooth controller turns on.
bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[CHG] Controller DC:53:60:4A:00:5A Pairable: yes
(2) Check paired devices to see if anything is registered.
