[SOLVED] Speaker won't connect to bluetooth, works with other devices

So I have a Wonderboom SE speaker that used to connect to my laptop running arch KDE and I decided to unpair to a while ago, and now it doesn't want to pair again. I've tried to pair it through Bluetooth, but I get the following errors:

The speaker works fine with any other devices, and my roommate has a Wonderboom 2 that does connect. So I don't understand if it was a lack of drivers. All help is appreciated. Thank you.

SOLVED:

$ bluetoothctl
$ scan on
$ trust <your bluetooth device id>
$ pair <your bluetooth device id>
$ connect <your bluetooth device id>

Re: [SOLVED] Speaker won't connect to bluetooth, works with other devices

Is there anything interesting in your kernel journal (dmesg)? Also which kernel are you on and did you already try the linux-lts package?

I booted through lts instead of zen and the result is the same. Here is my dmesg output idk if it would be of any use: https://pastecode.io/s/uzxemfwh

I cannot open your paste (404 not found), could you post an updated link?

Re: [SOLVED] Speaker won't connect to bluetooth, works with other devices

I ended up giving the speaker to my friend who testing it using windows 10 and the speaker connected perfectly fine and played sound for him. I'm guessing this could be some sort of driver issue on arch linux or my specific system.
