I just got a PCIe to m.2 adapter so I could add a 3rd drive and dedicate that to Fedora, which I had previously been booting to from a USB external enclosure. Everything booted fine, but bluetooth was no longer working. I tried updating everything and rebooting, no luck. I rebooted to Windows (my daily driver) and bluetooth wasn’t working there either, and Bluetooth wasn’t even listed under device manager anymore. I removed the PCIe adapter and Bluetooth was back and working fine in Windows.
Has anyone else seen this happen? I’ve only had this Desktop for about a month and aside from this I don’t really have any complaints.
I am running the 3.04 BIOS.
I guess I got this “fixed” today after giving it another try. The same thing happened again, but it was “fixed” by a full power cycle before booting back into Windows. The same was required when booting back to Fedora.
check out these threads. There are some quirks about getting the PCIe card set up. Framework Desktop reboot fail with PCIe gen3 Optane SSD , What are you all doing with the PCIE slot? What PCIe adapter are you using? Mine is running great now, but it wasn’t without some challenges initially.
I have read both of those threads but those problems didn’t appear to be related on the surface at least.
I am able to boot and run fine, it’s just that Bluetooth wasn’t working on either OS until a power cycle, which naturally happened when I removed the adapter. When I put it back in I had the same problem, no Bluetooth adapter present in either OS until I powered off and back on, now it works in both through multiple reboots.
I’m running this Sabrent adapter Amazon.com: SABRENT M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe X16/X8/X4 Adapter Card with Aluminum Heatsink, Easy Install, Supports 2230/2242/2260/2280, Not Compatible with SATA or PCIe x1 (EC-PCIE) : Electronics although it didn’t fit with the heatsink so I left that off and used a thinner one. I’ll have to track temps, not I do have an 80mm fan in the front of the case you maybe help some.
The drive I have in there is only Gen3 and I haven’t dropped it to 3 in the BIOS.
The only problem I’m trying to resolve now is a sound issue in Fedora. It seems that seconds after playing sound it switches to a constant, loud, low hum. Causing any type of sound silences the hum until a few seconds after it is done. Some searching points to power saving with the audio device, but I haven’t been successful with a permanent fix. This only happens in Fedora, not Windows.
