Hi,
I'm a long time Artix user, but always lurked around. I've found this forum quite helpful already without even posting any questions.
Unfortunately, I have quite an annoying bug that I really *need* to debug given the pandemic.
So, I have a Bose Q35 headset and use it via bluetooth. After migrating to new hardware, the headset simply disconnects completely for ~45secs at a nondeterministic point in time. Sometimes it works most of the day, another time it just drops 3 times within 5 mins...
So, how do I get the right firmware for my controller? - or rather, how do I know what controller I have/how can I disable my controller to just use a stupid USB dongle? rfkill?
Thanks in advance...
your question need be some more precision, please read https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,1923.0.html
you know your system, we not.... so give us some logs
Thats true, apologies! Nevertheless, I don't think it's necessary to post full details.
Looking at `lspci` I was able to identify the Intel AX200 as my bluetooth adapter which is recently known to cause issues.
Believing some random reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxhardware/comments/m21yhj/fyi_bluetooth_on_intel_ax200_currently_broken/), the bug has been fixed by intel? relevant kernel commit (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=a7f124958e870649dbfe76de1d4994c4747fb54c)
Anyone else here who has the AX200?
Here is a solution that works very well:
1. Buy a cheap USB bluetooth.
1.a) might need to install additional firmware
2. Choose the bluetooth-dongle as default in blueman
3. Profit.
Screw the unreliability of the AX200.
