Im using anker soundcore bluetooth speaker on desktop PC. It was acting weird on windows, then I switched to PopOS and it became super smooth for more than a year. Turning on PC then speaker or the other way around it would always pair flawlesly. But since some update around a month ago its not always pairing automatically and sometimes I have to connect manually to get it working. Its not a big deal, but throwing it here in case someone knows a fix and even better if the same fix can help with OPs issue
