The situation is this:

  • I use a bluetooth dongle ASUS UB400 on my PC, bluetooth version 4.0
  • My Sony wh-1000xm5 (bluetooth version 5.3) is not detected by the PC when I scan for new bluetooth devices
  • Another Anker Soundcore Q20 headphones are detected and working fine, like the mouse and a bluetooth speaker.
  • The Sony is detected by my android smartphones and working fine
  • I switched the dongle with another one with different brand, and all the devices were detected (and work fine) with the excepcion of the Sony.
  • Using Debian 12.8 and tested with bluetoothctl

Any advice is welcome.

    Press and hold the power button when they’re turned off. They should enter pairing mode a few seconds after powering on if you keep holding.
