Unable to start bluetooth on Linux 6.9.1-arch1-1 - gnome

When I click the bluetooth toggle in gnome control center, it imediately toggles back off. When I click the bluetooth option in the quick settings pannel, it appears to be loading for about 30 seconds and then switches off again.

When I run bluetoothctl and run show or power on on it :

[bluetooth]# show
No default controller available

i use pulseaudio, i installed pulseaudio-alsa, pulseaudio-bluetooth and bluez-utils

output of systemctl status bluetooth :

● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service

And the following commands do not show any output :

lsusb | grep blue and lspci -nn | grep blue

Does it mean that Linux doesn't recognize Bluetooth module?

kernel version 6.9.1 has some bluetooth issues

Do I need to change it? I'm afraid of the problems that compiling the new kernel might cause

Re: Unable to start bluetooth on Linux 6.9.1-arch1-1 - gnome

Should I downgrade my kernel? How? Is there a lot of risk?
