Bluetoothctl outputs "No default controller availiable"

I'm trying to connect to my bluetooth headphones via bluetoothctl, when entering

show

command in shell it outputs the above error.

I've recently installed a new wifi card BCM94360Z4 for hackintosh support. Bluetooth works fine in macOS and windows.

If i remember correctly you must first do a power on command.

@r00tr4t When entering power on command, I'm still getting the same "No default controller availiable" message. I've also checked rfkill list, it not kernel blocked.
