Bluetooth on a Dell XPS 15 9550

Hi!

I followed the Bluetooth installation instructions from the wiki but I still can't connect my laptop (Dell XPS 15 9550) to a bluetooth audio device.

journalctl gives me this:

bluetoothd[420]: Unable to get connect data for Headset Voice gateway: getpeername: Transport endpoint is not connected (107)
bluetoothd[420]: connect error: Connection refused (111)
bluetoothd[420]: GLib: Source ID 817 was not found when attempting to remove it
bluetoothd[420]: connect error: Connection refused (111)

I did copy the firmware in /lib/firmware/brcm as suggested here but it did not solve the issue.

hciconfig hci0 -a

Could it be related to power level?

Any chance that audio device is bound to another master? Like an android phone?  My external speaker will allow multiple hosts to connect to it, but only one may connect at any one time to any particular endpoint.

It's not.

Also, I'm able to connect to the audio device if I use Windows instead of Arch so I don't think the issue is hardware related.
