Hi,
I am a new arch user and I have some trouble detecting my bluetooth receiver with pulseaudio.
The bluetooth was working flawlessly up until today when I set it up as a default sink:
#/etc/pulse/default.pa
set-default-sink bluez_sink.40_ED_98_19_8F_1A.a2dp_sinkNow pulseaudio can not detect the device at all!

I have no idea why this happened in the first case. Currently, the media buttons on the receiver work when it is paired but no sound functionality.
Possible solutions workarounds I would like help with:
1- Is there a way, like a udev rule which I can force this device to be recognized by pulseaudio?
2- Is there a way to reset everything and try again?

I found some error logged in the bluetooth service:
