Hey there!!
As the subject suggests, this combo [BlueTooth - Acer - Qualcomm
Atheros] is my problem.
But before going any further I'd like to leave clear that I am not, by
any means, a Linux Power User [LPU], I just installed Debian 11 in my
laptop and are now discovering the pros and cons of this OS, that's it!
After installing Debian 11 from an USB, I found out that the
blue-tooth wasn't working, so searching the net I found this web pages
that attempt to fix the issue, among them are
There is pretty good ArchWiki page about Bluetooth setup. [1]
Basically, first you need to install bluetooth stack provided by BlueZ
and install firmware for your hardware, before you will proceed to the
other things, like changing PulseAudio config.
To install bluetooth stack:
$ sudo apt install bluetooth bluez bluez-tools bluez-firmware blueman
And to install firmware (from non-free section [2] ):
$ sudo apt install firmware-atheros
To check if there is a Bluetooth adapter:
$ hciconfig -a
If there is an adapter, you can use GUI application "Bluetooth Manager"
for an additional setup and BT device pairing.
You can also install additional packages that will help to gather
information about your hardware:
$ sudo apt install lshw pciutils usbutils inxi
They will provide "lshw", "lspci", "lsusb", "inxi" console utilities.
