Trying to connect some wireless headphones to my laptop. They worked a couple days ago then stopped and I cant figure out why. Before that it would work for a few days then stop until I rebooted or just tried again after a few hours. Now it hasn't worked for almost 2 weeks. ``` $ neofetch OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Host: 20BU000AUS ThinkPad T450 Kernel: 5.17.7-zen1-2-zen # Installed bluez 5.64-2 bluez-firmware 1.2-9 bluez-hid2hci 5.64-2 bluez-libs 5.64-2 bluez-utils 5.64-2 hidapi 0.11.2-1 libldac 2.0.2.3-1 pulseaudio-bluetooth 15.0-4 sbc 1.5-2 $ bluetoothctl show Powered: yes Discoverable: no Pairable: yes $ bluetoothctl info 8D:40:4C:C6:73:A4 Device 8D:40:4C:C6:73:A4 (public) Paired: yes Trusted: yes Blocked: no Connected: no LegacyPairing: no $ bluetoothctl connect 8D:40:4C:C6:73:A4 Attempting to connect to 8D:40:4C:C6:73:A4 Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed br-connection-profile-unavailable $ journalctl -u bluetooth bluetoothd: src/service.c:btd_service_connect() a2dp-sink profile connect failed for 8D:40:4C:C6:73:A4: Protocol not available $ systemctl list-unit-files | grep blue UNIT FILE STATE VENDOR PRESET bluetooth-mesh.service enabled disabled bluetooth.service enabled disabled dbus-org.bluez.mesh.service alias - dbus-org.bluez.service alias - bluetooth.target static - $ lsmod | grep bluetooth bluetooth 925696 31 btrtl,btmtk,btintel,btbcm,bnep,btusb crc16 16384 1 bluetooth rfkill 36864 6 iwlmvm,bluetooth,thinkpad_acpi,cfg80211 ecdh_generic 16384 2 bluetooth
