  1. Bluetooth not working


    My bluetooth device suddenly stopped working without me doing anything, I just turned it off and it never showed up again in the control panel.

    I have an Asus Z170i/ac motherboard with a qualcomm atheros QCA61x4A wireless card (bluetooth 4.1) with Windows 10 in a custom built desktop pc.


    I've already tried:

    -Updating every wireless driver

    -Enabling bluetooth from services.msc

    -Looking into the event manager to see if anything went wrong(found nothing)


    As of now bluetooth in the device manager says it's disconnected and is hidden, the bluetooth page in the control panel disappeared and Wi-Fi works.


    It's been a couple hours already and I'm quite frustrated, hope I can find a solution here.

    :)

    Can't get Bluetooth working...

    If your sure that its recognised properly then have a look on this links page http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/

    The only thing i can think of to fix if it isnt recognised by linux is the following:

    Firstly you have to find out what chipset your bluetooth dongle uses.
    Secondly i think your going to have to basically compile your own kernel and include the module for the chipset that your bluetooth dongle uses.
    Thirdly depending on if you add it to the kernel or as like built in you will have to add the name of the module to a config file which is used when you boot linux.

    If the kernel doesnt have support for your bluetooth dongle then you can either try and find a different copy of the kernel which does or try and find the driver for it.

    To recompile your own kernel however requires a whole guide itself , plus different linux distro's will have different kernels with different options and slightly different config files.

    Only thing i can suggest is going to www.gentoo.org and reading through their handbook, its basically step by step setting up linux manually, in the handbook there is a page or two on recompiling your kernel for your particular configuration.

    Bluetooth in windows 10

    My computer specs are as listed in the profile. I think all of you guys are correct. I don't have built-in Bluetooth in mobo.

    I contacted skull candy headphones and thy have told me if I do not have built-in Bluetooth, I would need a dongle which supports at least a2dp. I do not know what the heck that means. I have a feeling I would need more than a cheap dongle.

    Anyone suggest some a2dp adapters. I searched but don't know what a2dp is so couldn't make a decision
