RTL8723BE Bluetooth does not work

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 21871 / 1 Year ago, thu, march 23, 2023, 12:22:05

I am unable to find any bluetooth devices.

I was able to fix it by using this, but since the Ubuntu kernel update this fix has stopped working.

You follow similar instructions to when you first installed

cd rtlwifi_new

make clean

make

sudo make install

And for bluetooth

git clone -b troy https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723au_bt.git

cd rtl8723au_bt

make

sudo make install

Reboot

October 2015 edit, Pilot6 has a PPA with a dkms module that doesn't need to be reinstalled after a kernel update

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install rtlwifi-new-dkms linux-firmware rtl8723au-bt-dkms

Reboot and done
