I meant "The issue occurred once again,’ which I have just edited to. Sorry I was not sure what information to provide; although perhaps I could have tried more to search for solutions.
I am using kernel 5.10.15-1.

I will check to see if there are any BIOS updates, but I have not made any.

[jr@fm ~]$
Ignore this:
Installed bluez. Currently it is working with the speakers.
Sorry, it was actually already installed, I just reinstalled it.
Similar issue with Centos:
https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=17796
https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=failed+to+activate+service+'org.bluez'%3A+timed+out+(service_start_timeout%3D25000ms)
Found this issue, not the same but the debugging could help:
[jr@fm ~]$ sudo systemctl status dbus-org.bluez.service

Oh, bluez is just a Bluetooth stack

Description=Sound Service
# We require pulseaudio.socket to be active before starting the daemon, because
# while it is possible to use the service without the socket, it is not clear
# why it would be desirable.
#
# A user installing pulseaudio and doing `systemctl --user start pulseaudio`
# will not get the socket started, which might be confusing and problematic if
# the server is to be restarted later on, as the client autospawn feature
# might kick in. Also, a start of the socket unit will fail, adding to the
# confusion.
#
# After=pulseaudio.socket is not needed, as it is already implicit in the
# socket-service relationship, see systemd.socket(5).

Note this line: Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled). It’s now enabled, was disabled before. Hopefully that will fix the issue.
