Re: Random bluetooth speaker disconnects

I am experiencing the same disconnects, which was not the case before.

- Intel AX200 160MHz, REV=0x340
- Kernel: 5.11.8
- Firmware: 20210315.3568f96-1

Is anybody aware of a bug report upstream?

Maybe 4johnny is, otherwise no. I just gave up and purchased a simple bt usb dongle until this issue is fixed. I need a reliable connection for work and i cannot afford to have random disconnect during the workday. If there's anything i can provide though, let me know.

The same here:

I love archlinux: the last STABLE kernel release + the last STABLE DE release + the last STABLE apps releases. The upstream developers decide what is STABLE.

Re: Random bluetooth speaker disconnects

I suffer the same problem but cannot contribute because I am not on Arch anymore but I just want to say thank you to @4johnny!! The whole internet is cheering your efforts to get this sorted out. I know a lot of people on other distros who are having these same problems and do not know where or how to address it.

Not sure if it has been mentioned before but I have this issue but only when I use A2DP profile. If I use HSP/HFP I don't get the intermittent disconnects.

Downgrade to linux-firmware 20201120.bc9cd0b-1 solved the problem for my environment.

Re: Random bluetooth speaker disconnects

Sorry that I haven't responded in quite some time, it appears I stopped receiving notifications for this thread.

After sending the requested logs (sent on 2021-03-17), I haven't received any response until now. There has also been no new driver available since the 2021-03-15 release.

I'm still running firmware version 20201120  without issues though.

My issue was resolved after BlueZ 5.56, but with the recent update of 5.57, I disconnect constantly. Even my Bluetooth mouse gets killed off. This time, they can't reconnect.

Re: Random bluetooth speaker disconnects

FYI I would be careful with downgrading too far back in bluetooth/firmware land because of this: https://google.github.io/security-resea … iteup.html

Maybe mitigations for that could also have been the reason why newer firmware/bluetooth driver combos broke?

Re: Random bluetooth speaker disconnects

Hi,

Same problem here. So, this has been my testing so far:

Laptop: Asus G14
Wireless/BT Card: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (rev 1a)
Kernel: 5.11.11-arch1-1
Pulseaudio: 14.2-3
pulseaudio-modules-bt: 1.4_14.2-8
Headset: Sony WH-1000XM3

With Linux firmware version: 20210315.3568f96-1 and bluez versions: 5.6-1, 5.7-1 or 5.8-1 I have the same problem as everybody else here, dropouts from time to time.

As other people here in this thread, I have installed bluez 5.56-2 and linux firmware 20201120.bc9cd0b-1 and this gave me the most stable connection. At least for several hours (around 4) no dropouts in the connection.

Other changes that I did, at the beginning the dropouts were like every 20 minutes, this got around an hour between dropouts after I followed the recommendations for Intel Wireless cards and power management: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Po … _(iwlwifi) :

# cat /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
options iwlwifi power_save=1
options iwlmvm power_scheme=3

Well, not 100% sure that those power management options are related or not, but at least, it is no longer as crazy as it was at the beginning with dropouts every 20 minutes. No other change that came to mind that could have do that.

P.D.: Not related with this problem, but in case it is useful for somebody, using LDAC codec or aptX HD codec with the Sony WH-1000XM3 with the headphones created lots of noise in the sound. The firmware version of my Headphones was 2.0.0, I checked with the phone Sony app there was a new version 4.x.x (too lazy to pair now the headset with the phone), and those codecs are no longer a problem, no noise in the transmission, although I have to say my ears or Spotify streams are not enough to see if there is much improvement between aptX vs aptX HD or LDAC.

Re: Random bluetooth speaker disconnects

Have experienced the same issues with AX200, My current solution is using older linux-firmware and LTS kernel. Haven't experienced disconnects for the past month or so. Upgrading firmware or switching back to the regular kernel returns the problem for me.

No disconnects with the following

linux-firmware 20201218.646f159-1
linux-lts 5.10.29-1

@nikarh Interesting, I have the AX200 in my laptop and downgrading linux-firmware was enough for me--no need for the LTS kernel.

Re: Random bluetooth speaker disconnects

AX201 here. Downgrading to  linux-firmware 20201218.646f159-1 fixes the issue for me. The newer firmware packages gives regular disconnects. Version of kernel or bluez or anything else doesn't matter here, only the linux-firmware package.

Re: Random bluetooth speaker disconnects

Same issue here on Gentoo linux kernel 5.11 series with both AX200 and AX201 BT chips when playing a2dp audio. The issue occurs randomly from every 5 minutes to once a few hours. In any case, there's something wrong with the firmware and I hope this gets fixed. All people using these devices seem to be affected. When using the linux-firmware-20201218 (gentoo package) it seems to work now for several hours without disconnect. However there was one case with a disconnect (without reconnect a few seconds later) when I had to reboot the BT receiver but this may be another problem or not related to the intel BT. However, there are some pitfalls when downgrading linux-firmware package version which may be the reason why it doesn't work for some people.

1. After installing downgraded package you have to completely power off the device. A simple reboot won't work because the firmware won't be lost during a reboot and the driver seems to detect a running firmware and then skips uploading firmware to the device. During cold boot from power-off state you should be able to see kernel messages like these:

dmesg | grep "Bluetooth: hci"
[    3.988237] Bluetooth: hci0: Bootloader revision 0.3 build 0 week 24 2017
[    3.992223] Bluetooth: hci0: Device revision is 1
[    3.994527] Bluetooth: hci0: Secure boot is enabled

[    4.001108] Bluetooth: hci0: Debug lock is disabled
[    4.003213] Bluetooth: hci0: Minimum firmware build 1 week 10 2014
[    4.005297] Bluetooth: hci0: Found device firmware: intel/ibt-20-1-3.sfi
[    5.817024] Bluetooth: hci0: Waiting for firmware download to complete
[    5.819493] Bluetooth: hci0: Firmware loaded in 1790766 usecs
[    5.821932] Bluetooth: hci0: Waiting for device to boot

[    5.843383] Bluetooth: hci0: Found Intel DDC parameters: intel/ibt-20-1-3.ddc
[    5.851012] Bluetooth: hci0: Applying Intel DDC parameters completed
[    5.861992] Bluetooth: hci0: Firmware revision 0.0 build 121 week 7 2021

The last line is the firmware that gets uploaded and in this case is the one from latest linux-drivers-20210315 package. The one from linux-drivers-20201218 package should look like this:

[    5.274381] Bluetooth: hci0: Firmware revision 0.0 build 127 week 48 2020

2. The firmware may be baked into the kernel so although you downgrade your linux-firmware files a kernel would have to be rebuilt with the downgraded firmware files installed. If it works for you with an older kernel it may be because it has baked in an older version of the firmware files. In any case you should be able to see the firmware version during boot as shown above.

Thanks.  After turning off my computer and then the power supply, I now have the downgraded firmware running.

Is this also the case for upgrades?  It seems like it might be.  Looking at my system logs, I installed the 20120208 linux-firmware package on Feb 11, and my AX200 didn't run the firmware from that update until Mar 11.  This happened to be the date I upgraded my RAM, so my computer was completely powered off.

Also, it looks like there is an update for AX201 firmware that was added today, if anyone wanted to try:

Yes, upgrade or downgrade doesn't matter. I even noticed on my NUC with AX201 I had to unplug the AC cord after shutting down or it wouldn't work because of standby-circuitry still power to the BT chip or some left over charge in the power supply, I don't know.

I tried it and it makes itself noticeable by follwing line:

[    3.645000] Bluetooth: hci0: Firmware revision 0.0 build 7 week 13 2021

I've been running it the whole day now with no disconnects so I would say it's looking good. Hopefully they did not fix this by chance so this may come up again and AX200 and other chips will get fixed, too.
