I have problems pairing my Bose NC 700 headphones on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS via bluetooth. Every time I turn them on, they continue to connect and disconnect and don't work. I need to go to the bluetooth configurations and click on "remove device", then pair them again. Then they will work until I turn off the laptop or don't use them for some time.

Sometimes, using "systemctl restart bluetooth" helps. Is there a way to fix that permanently?

  • There is no such Ubuntu version as 18. What is the actual version? – David Jan 23 '22 at 05:53
  • thanks, I edited my question – Noldig Jan 24 '22 at 15:59
  • @David besides your very useful critique, do you actually have any idea about a fix? – Marius Apr 28 '22 at 09:07
  • Maybe to this? Could you try it on a newer version? Could be a live distro. Always after the same amount of time? Could be related to autosuspend: sudo sh -c "echo -1 > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend". Did you check what happen on journalctrl -xe? Do you have pulseaudio-module-bluetooth apt package installed? – Pablo Bianchi May 03 '22 at 05:56

You might have interference between WiFi and Bluetooth (which most often affects WiFi). Please try a few things and report what you find/output info in the question.

  1. Disabling WiFi. If this solves your problem, then depending on the adapters you have, a suitable configuration is possible.

  2. Connecting with another bluetooth headset

  3. Output of commands

    $ uname -a
$ inxi -F
$ systemctl status bluetooth.service
$ bluetoothctl list
$ bluetoothctl show
$ bluetoothctl devices
$ bluetoothctl paired-devices

  • there are some errors in status bluetooth.service . I collected the output of the commands here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yOTrFNLC-aAcCx8L5cqN0gDNnRIuIkKxYIwXtFUUdoM/edit?usp=sharing
