Bluetooth speaker can't reconnect after disconnecting

My bluetooth speaker is connected, paired and works as intended. That is until I disconnect it, suspend or shutdown. When I log back or start it up, it won’t automatically reconnect. I try to reconnect and nothing happens. I’ve tried unpairing the device and pairing it again. It pairs but I can’t select the bluetooth speaker as an audio device. The only thing I can consistently do to make it work again is unpair the device and restart the service then pair it again. It works afterwards. But I have to do it every time disconnect the speaker, suspend or shutdown the system.

Has anyone experienced and fixed this?

If possible, I need to speak to you about something pretty much unrelated because I have the poor man’s version of your laptop. Mine’s an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-44-R99Q.

Remember the dual-monitor thread where you reverse prime to get it working through the NVIDIA GPU? Yeah… I have a GTX 1650 with AMD Ryzen 5 4600H … but our hardware is virtually identical… Yours is a Ryzen 7 4800H and a GTX 1650Ti … now the issue with the Xorg conf: 10-renderer.conf is that when the HDMI is unplugged and you boot it up, it doesn’t work. Just gives me an error about display topology and hangs. It has to be plugged into a monitor/TV/projector via HDMI in order for the greeter to even come up (I use Cinnamon, not GDM, so my x DWM is lightdm).

In other words, it doesn’t default to the laptop. I’ve seen you in that thread. You seem to have a good eye for troubleshooting. I’m sorry if there’s little relevance here, except that I have the same thing with my bluetooth headphones, so… same boat here… check the Arch wiki when it comes to bluetooth…

if I find a solution, I’ll get on here and let you know. Sorry for the long (and largely unrelated) post. Please contact me on here if you can ASAP (I prefer a direct message if that’s possible… I’m new to the forums). I’d love to collaborate considering our hardware is identical driver-wise… as far as i can tell, anyway. I made sure to read.

Same problem
