Bluetooth not working on DWM (but working completely fine on i3 ?)

So I am having a pretty weird problem right now, I have been using i3 for around 6 months now and my bluetooth is working well, no problems.
The packages to handle bluetooth I have installed are these ones:

bluez-tools 0.2.0-5
bluez-utils 5.64-2
pulseaudio-bluetooth 15.0-4

Yesterday I wanted to switch to dwm, and the bluetooth is not working correctly, when I try to connect to bluetooth I get this output:

Attempting to connect to 14:3F:A6:D5:A8:56
Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed br-connection-profile-unavailable

I have checked that the bluetooth service is loaded properly and it is, and I run bluetoothctl power on in my startup script. I am using the exact same startup script in i3 and dwm so nothing is differing in that regard.

If I run "journalctl -b | grep blue" I get some interesting output which may be of use:

try rebooting your system, after making sure that bluetooth.service is enabled

Re: Bluetooth not working on DWM (but working completely fine on i3 ?)

Try some of these, in DWM if rebooting didn't work.

sudo pacman -Syyuu --overwrite "*" bluez bluez-utils bluedevil

sudo systemctl start bluetooth.service -f

bluetoothctl power on

And reinstall DWM using however you installed it from the AUR, yay trizen, paru, manually etc.
