Bluetooth not working in Asus Expertbook

I have bought a new Asus Expertbook and I'm setting up an Arch installation there. Arch is my daily driver and I really want this working. My problem is that bluetooth doesn't work in the system. I follow along arch Wiki and installed the following packages

• bluez

• bluez-utils

And then I started the bluetooth.service. Then tried running bluetoothctl. But it did not work. Mainly I want to connect my Lenovo Livepods. So I tried that, but as I mentioned it didn't work. It gives following error

Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed br-connection-profile-unavailable

I then installed the bluez-alsa package and tried as I have alsa on my system but it doesn't really work. And now the

systemctl status bluetooth

gives following errors.

Anyone giving a solution is most thanked as this is affects my daily routine.

EDIT 1
Now I get this in journalctl

Re: Bluetooth not working in Asus Expertbook

You could try installing pulseaudio-bluetooth and rebooting arch.
