On a new Laptop 13 with AI 7 350
When I pair and connect my earbuds, they’re added to the sound devices list but aren’t getting any sound. Before a minute passes, they disconnect and are removed from the list of sound devices.
I opened an issue about this on the Bazzite Github page (Bluetooth earbuds connect, but don't receive sound and automatically disconnect within a minute · Issue #2583 · ublue-os/bazzite · GitHub) and was told that I should replace the wifi/BT card with an Intel AX210. Is there another way to fix it? I thought Bluetooth would work out of the box on Bazzite.
I had some success with my bluetooth headphones by connecting them on the terminal with bluetoothctl instead of using the gui.
Rough steps:
- start
bluetoothctl on the console
- enter
scan on or scan le depending on if you need to use Bluetooth LE or normal Bluetooth and put your headphone into pairing mode
- look for the mac address of your headphones and then do
scan off (to get rid of the message spam) and pair <address> (it helps to not have any other BT devices nearby or you get a lot of spam)
- followed by
trust <address>
However they’re correct that the AX210 is usually better supported on Linux and pretty easy to replace.
