MacBook Pro 2015 Big Sur bluetooth not working

Hi,


I have macbook pro 2015 (15'') and upgraded to latest OS Big Sur.


Today, I tried to connect/pair my brand new Sony SRS XB-12 but laptop did not find the speaker.


The speaker pairs and works fine with my android phone.


In fact, it seems laptop bluetooth doesn't find any device.


I have tried laptop to find another Sony headphone and a boss soundlink but nothing seems to be liked by this laptop.


I have tried several suggestion

1. Turning Bluetooth on/off

2. Switching speaker on/off

3. Deleting bluetooth plist files

4. Booting laptop in safe mode

5. Resetting Bluetooth module, removing all devices by pressing option+shfit

6. Resetting SMC



And everything above in various combinations.


In all these tries, I could see my speaker was detected by laptop only once but it failed connect.


I restarted the laptop and speaker and again laptop didn't detect.


I have wasted whole day, it's very frustrating.


Any help/suggestion is appreciated.


Thankyou

MacBook Pro Retina
