I am running ubuntu in virtualbox on a windows 11 host. The bluetooth controller is passed into the Ubuntu guest. This works great in ubuntu 21.04 and prior. However, whenever I use Ubuntu 21.10 or higher the bluetooth does not work.
In 21.10 and higher the command:
shows the device but it shows the status as DOWN. Trying the command:
results in the error:
I have tried all Ubuntu versions up to the latest including 22.04 LTS and 22.10. Nothing after 21.04 works.
There is one odd thing that makes the bluetooth work. I start up a VM in virtualbox with ubuntu 21.04 and confirm that bluetooth is working. Then, while keeping that VM up I start another VM with ubuntu (anything greater than 21.04) and confirm that the bluetooth controller is not available (because it is currently passed into 21.04). In virtualbox I remove the bluetooth controller from 21.04 which passes it to the other VM with 22.04. Then suddenly bluetooth works fine in the VM with version > 21.04.
My wifi/bluetooth card is an internal intel AX201.
Can someone help me figure out what is going on?
Thank You!
