Bluetooth not enabling


Recommended Posts

My motherboard is an Asus ROG Crosshair Hero VII, it has built in Bluetooth, but for some reason Windows can not detect it anymore. I have a pair of bluetooth headphones that I use on the desktop, and suddenly they are not showing up, and when I go to the settings within Windows, the option to turn on/off Bluetooth is not there, and Windows tells me that it is not enabled. I have checked in the UEFI and Bluetooth controller is enabled, and I know that this has worked before (I have used it many different times), I even downloaded the bluetooth drivers directly from Asus, but even the installer software says that it is not available. I am at a loss for what to do next, there is a UEFI?BIOS update available and I will update it later on today, but besides that I can not figure out what else could be creating the issue.

I had the same thing happen to my bluetooth speakers. Mint 19.1 here. It just worked for ~5 months, and then it keeps losing connection.

 

I would take the drivers off, and re-add them. Only thing I can think of.

Nothing in device manager as far as Bluetooth and no problems showing either.

I had exactly the same issue today for the first time. Uninstalled drivers, re-installed ... rebooted... nothing helped.. so, i powered off my machine for about 20 minutes, including pulling power from the PSU. Powered up again, and all is fine again! Not sure what / why.

 

Give that a go, and see??

so I did check the manual for the motherboard
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/ROG_CROSSHAIR-VII-HERO/E13835_ROG_CROSSHAIR_VII_HERO_UM_WEB.pdf

 

the only text inside this manual is this test "The BIOS setup program does not support the Bluetooth devices"

do you run Windows 10 and what version?
check Windows version click start run write winver then is should say what Windows is running and what version

If you use a USB adapter for your Bluetooth headphones, something must have triggered this problem with the Bluetooth headset
if you are running Windows 10 has the computer been updated recently?

the exact model name is needed to be able to identify your exact motherboard and to help you more there are several different models of this motherboard you also choose not to share this information, it is much more difficult to help you

I did provide the exact model, however, since the issue resolved itself, I feel confident that it was a drivers issue. But just to appease you, here:

    • Arlo Essential 2K Indoor Camera: Unpacking the features and value of this home security cam by Paul Hill Are you in the UK and looking for internal cameras to keep an eye on your pets or property? If so, the Arlo Essential 2K indoor security camera (2-pack) is now discounted by 26% from its £159.99 RRP to just £119.00. As usual, the product is available with free delivery and free returns, which is helpful if the product turns out to be defective. In addition to the discounted product, the listing also notes there’s a £10-off voucher available until Monday and a £10 Morrisons on Amazon voucher. Arlo is a reputable brand for home security cameras so this deal marks a great opportunity if you’ve been looking for this type of device. Do note that it is a wired camera so it’ll have to be plugged in somewhere. Deep dive into camera features and capabilities The Arlo Essential 2K indoor security camera comes with a very good 2K (up to 2,560x1,440) resolution that provides you with clear, detailed video, great if you want to keep an eye on smaller pets such as kittens. Not only is the camera high-quality, but the camera is equipped with black and white night vision (it can see up to 7 metres), so you can see any events that occur at night. This Arlo security cam features two-way audio with noise reduction and echo cancellation allowing you to chat with anyone coming to feed your pets. There’s also an automatic privacy lens cover that physically blocks the lens when disarmed, providing you with more privacy when at home. There is also passive infrared motion detection that has a range of 7 metres. You can use motion detection in combination with the 80 dB smart siren to scare away intruders. The siren can also be activated manually. The Arlo Essential 2K features a 130-degree wide-angle diagonal view, which is sufficient for most rooms, to capture more of what’s going on in the room and there is 12x digital zoom to take a closer look at objects. It’s compatible with pretty much all Wi-Fi devices with its 2.4GHz Wi-Fi support and it integrates with your smart home via Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTT. Leveraging the Arlo Secure subscription for enhanced security When you buy the Arlo Essential 2K, you get a 30-day free trial of the Arlo Secure subscription, and if you want to continue it, it costs from £11.99 per month or £119.90 per year. This subscription isn’t necessary for basic functionality, but it does unlock the full potential of the camera. When you subscribe you get secure cloud storage for video history (30 to 60 days depending on plan); AI-powered identification of people, animals, vehicles, and packages, reducing false alerts; custom activity zones that let you define areas for motion detection, minimising unwanted notifications; and interactive notifications that can be interacted with from the lock screen like view animated previews, activate siren, and call emergency services. My biggest issue with this camera is that there is no local storage for recordings, necessitating the need to buy the subscription if you want to save any footage. If you’re thinking of using this camera to protect your home from theft and want footage to give to the police, you’ll need a subscription. An alternative to a subscription is buying the Arlo SmartHub (VMB5000) which is compatible with the Arlo Essential 2K indoor camera, according to Arlo’s website. The savings on this camera twin-pack are significant and it’s the lowest price they’ve been at on Amazon UK so they’re definitely worth considering for your home. If you don’t mind the subscription or have the Arlo SmartHub already, then this camera makes sense. If not, then you may be better off with a camera that comes with an SD card slot and recording capabilities. Arlo Essential 2K Indoor Pet Security Camera (2-pack): £119 + £10-off voucher + £10 for Morrisons on Amazon (Amazon UK) / MSRP £159.99 This Amazon deal is U.K. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The Nokia Lumias? Or the third-party HTC One8's? I had HTC's hardware cuz it was slick and reliable... but, yeah, the software left me wanting more and I just couldn't allocate personal time to develop all of the software I would have wanted to see (overworked in other capacities @ MSFT at the time, heh).
    • Microsoft's mobile strategy had great future vision and UX research, but mediocre engineering and inadequate support (third-party and internal business alike). The death knell for WinMo was Google's (mostly YouTube's) incessant API blocking and purposeful release of buggy WinMo builds to force consumers to stay away -- and this was conducted via sabotage of whatever partnerships they were supposed to play nice in. I still yearn for that UI on a modern smartphone...
    • Linux has always been an option but never adopted by the masses despite being free. The reasons are limited usability and features. Despite everything we all complaint about with MS , the overall experience for the general public is much better than what Linux can deliver.
    • If nothing works automatically for you, I'd say pick a better/different distro. Granted, it's trickier with laptops because they use all kinds of weird hardware, but still. I actually just did a fresh Arch Linux install on my netbook, and given that Arch is certainly not an "automagical" distro, I had to do very little manual tweaking, everything but the audio worked out of the box (including plasma and Wayland) and the audio was simply an issue of installing an additional firmware package that wasn't included in the default selection. Which is equivalent of installing additional drivers in Windows. Surely a more user-oriented distro would be even less troublesome (but granted, I haven't used/tested anything outside of Arch for quite some time). And let's not forget that a fair bit of issues that get blamed on Linux (though it also applies to Windows issues) are actually caused by hardware vendors not giving a damn.
