Bluetooth not working on my machine (Ryzen 2400G/asrock x470)

Hi there,

I have a Ryzen 2400G chip and an asrock x470 motherboard running arch. The system runs perfectly except for Bluetooth. When I run

 sudo modprobe -r btusb; sudo modprobe btusb 

I get the following entry in dmesg:

[ 1193.413360] Bluetooth: hci0: command 0xfc05 tx timeout
[ 1193.413392] Bluetooth: hci0: Reading Intel version information failed (-110)

according to lspci, the network chip on the motherboard is

Intel Corporation Wireless-AC 9260 (rev 29).

Also, the systemd bluetooth.service is active.

The hardware is still relatively new, so its not suprising to find some bugs, but I was wondering if anyone has seen this before. If you would like anymore information about the system, please let me know!

I think I am missing something here.  That kernel module is for USB BlueTooth devices.  I believe the 9260 is a PCI device.  Does it have integral BlueTooth?

Have you tried just using bluetoothctl to see if you can talk to it to see if it 'Just Works'™?

The 9260 is indeed a PCI device, but according to the manual for my motherboard and the intel website, it has integrated bluetooth.

According to the wiki "The generic bluetooth driver is the btusb kernel module". The system is trying to load btusb module at boot and I get the same timeout errors then also.

I wasn't aware of bluetoothctl, but it doesn't work either. When I try any command, it just says "No default controller available."

Hi, I have the exact same hardware, 2400G + asrock 470.
And the same issue ^^, to solve it :
- reset the BIOS by taking off for 3 min the battery on the motherboard
- or make a script

#!/bin/bash
modprobe -r btusb
sleep 30
modprobe btusb

It works for me.

By the way, do you manage to suspend to ram with your hardware ? That's the last thing that doesnt work on my system.

Thanks bibinne!

Unfortunately I am away for the machine at the moment, so I can't test your fix right now.

Suspend to ram has been working flawlessly for me since I built the machine. I can give you more info in a few weeks when I am back home
