Re: Bluetooth not working on Kernel 5.15

I just recompiled the modules in the drivers/bluetooth directory in the kernel source tree following the instructions in the wiki using the Arch Build System. After that i replaced the btusb.ko.zst with the newly compiled version followed by a depmod and a reboot.

The patch for my hardware was just changing one line in btusb.c in the mentioned directory

-	{ USB_DEVICE(0x8087, 0x0a2a), .driver_info = BTUSB_INTEL_COMBINED },
+	{ USB_DEVICE(0x8087, 0x0a2a), .driver_info = BTUSB_INTEL_COMBINED |
+						     BTUSB_INTEL_BROKEN_INITIAL_NCMD },

Thank you !

Re: Bluetooth not working on Kernel 5.15

Does that mean it works for you? If so, think about switching to the patches that lokjo linked in #24 because these patches will (hopefully) be part of the kernel source tree in the near future, so no patches on our side will be needed any more. They work for me, too.

Re: Bluetooth not working on Kernel 5.15

commit has been merged into mainline for 5.17
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … 5b4c4c227b
It is marked for fixes so should be part of a future stable release.

Re: Bluetooth not working on Kernel 5.15

Hello,

new to this channel here.

I just upgraded my system today, which included a new version of linux-firmware (20211027.1d00989-1 -> 20211216.f682ecb-1). And bluetooth stopped working.
The first sign I had was the command

bluetoothctl power on
Failed to set power on: org.bluez.Error.Failed

Looking in journalctl I see a lot of messages like so:

dbus-daemon[485]: [system] Rejected: destination has a full message queue, 0 matched rules; type="error", sender="(unset)" ((bus)) interface="(unset)" member="(unset)"
  error name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" requested_reply="1" destination=":1.129" (uid=0 pid=404051 comm="/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd ")
[...]
kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: QCA: Discarding other packets
[...]
kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: QCA memdump unexpected packet 32

Other error message in journalctl related to powering bluetooth on:

bluetoothd[28962]: Failed to set mode: Failed (0x03)

A bit of background:

• I run a stock kernel 5.15.13-arch1-1

• I have several packages installed related to bluetooth: bluez 5.63-1, bluez-libs 5.63-1, bluez-utils 5.63-1, pulseaudio-bluetooth 15.0-1

• The machine is a dell xps 9700 with a Network controller: Qualcomm QCA6390 Wireless Network Adapter [AX500-DBS (2x2)] (rev 01)

Any suggestion how to fix this?

Thank you

Re: Bluetooth not working on Kernel 5.15

Bluetooth not working for me either, Asus PN51 at Linux 5.15.13-arch1-1 (x86_64).

Not quite sure from the previous comments if if should already work or not...

Re: Bluetooth not working on Kernel 5.15

The issue persists for me even after the upgrade. Didn't try 5.15.15, since the only way for me to use bluetooth devices is holding linux-lts at 5.10...

Re: Bluetooth not working on Kernel 5.15

yallu you seem to not have the same error messages, not sure if your problem is related to the one in this thread.

scaramanga, in the fix commit they say they applied it to three devices 8087:07dc, 8087:0a2a and 8087:0aa7. Do you have one of those three devices or something else? (lsusb shows these ids)

That explains it. I have 8087:0029 Intel Corp. AX200 Bluetooth (integrated into the mainboard).

I guess you could try applying the fix manually like lula described in post 23, i.e. add for your card the BTUSB_INTEL_BROKEN_INITIAL_NCMD flag, then compile and run it. If it works you can try to ask them in the bluetooth mailing list to apply it to the kernel.

Re: Bluetooth not working on Kernel 5.15

I did reboot a few times after upgrading to 5.16.2 just now with bluetooth seeming to work. If the problem appears again I'll try to apply the patch though.

Re: Bluetooth not working on Kernel 5.15

yallu you seem to not have the same error messages, not sure if your problem is related to the one in this thread.

Sure, in the end my problem was solved either by .16.2 or by going to BIOS, disabling Bluetooth controller, rebooting, going to BIOS, enabling Bluetooth controller, booting up. Not sure which one...

Re: Bluetooth not working on Kernel 5.15

So my problem reappeared and applying the patch that worked for 8087:0a2a to my device unfortunately did not work, the errors just change. Would the mailing list still be the right place to report this issue? Never done something like that before.

Re: Bluetooth not working on Kernel 5.15

Interestingly now the AX200 does not even work with the 5.10 LTS Kernel anymore.

edit: a cold boot did make it work again, oh wow

If I boot 5.10 first and then reboot into mainline it also works (despite some error messages) and vice versa. It seems reproducable if I turn off power for a few minutes, though.

Re: Bluetooth not working on Kernel 5.15

I would suggest you to find the exact pattern how to reproduce your errors and also try to bisect the kernel to see exactly at which kernel commit the problems start (for me it was the commit 83f2dafe2a62). Then you can report all of that to the linux-bluetooth and regressions mailing lists.

For example for me it was also complicated that depending on if it was a cold start, first reboot or second reboot into a kernel version, and also depending on which version I was running before, I would either get or not get the errors.

Re: Bluetooth not working on Kernel 5.15

My system has a Mini PCIe AX200 card, and I'm having the same issue w/ linux-lts 5.15.18-1-lts and linux 5.16.3.arch1-1. No issues were found on linux-lts 5.15.16-1.

The new kernels failed with the same timeout error. Cold boot, reboot, suspend, etc have no effect at all. It just doesn't work.

The log when BT worked:

There's a related bug report on kernel.org, but the reports are quite inconsistent about which version introduced the bug.

Re: Bluetooth not working on Kernel 5.15

I'm on Gigabyte Aorus X570 with the AX200 Wifi6 and Bluetooth
Havent used the card previously but tried to connect to BT headphones.

Latest pkg from pacman: I get null errors in bluetooth service when trying to connect.
Tried bluez-git and this fixes the the null errors however.....

Re: Bluetooth not working on Kernel 5.15

The issues are not fixed as of 5.16.11, however I kinda lost motivation to dissect which commit actually made this occur, so I don't think I can submit a helpful bug report at the time being. It definitely is quite frustrating.

On 5.16.13 it seems to be a bit improved. The headphones this time said they connected but after a while disconnected. Took about 1minute or more before they even said connected...
