Ubuntu 20.04 Bluetooth issues

cn flag

I have an issue with my Bluetooth for some time now. I have Bluetooth headphones, they work just fine with all of my other devices, but for some reason, they're killing me when using ubuntu. If I pair them, and then take them off, every website/program that uses audio is getting stuck, including YouTube (showing a "loading" animation), and once I turned off the headphones or shutting down the Bluetooth service - everything magically works! The only solution right now is to turn off the Bluetooth service and re-pair the headphones.

I've searched everywhere on the web, no solution has been found.

Please [edit] your question and add output of `lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; lsusb` terminal command. It is a very obvious problem.

Run in a terminal

sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi-opt.conf <<< "options iwlwifi bt_coex_active=N"

and reboot. That should solve the problem.

The setting can be reverted by

sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi-opt.conf

But the really good solution is to use 5 GHz Wi-Fi.

The problem is with sharing 2.4 GHz for BT and Wi-Fi.

It did not fix the issue. What should I do next?

Switch Wi-Fi to 5GHz.

I think the problem might be different, as I said, I am able to use both WIFI and Bluetooth at the same time, until I'm stopping a song or removing my headset for a moment (they're pausing the song because of that), so if I understood correctly, Only one of them supposed to work at the same time from the beginning

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
