Bluetooth Connection Problems in macOS Monterey

I am having the same issue with a Samsung N450 Sound Bar and a 2nd Gen - brand new Google Nest.

My M1 Mac mini sees them, will pair with them, but I get no audio or the option to select either one in the sound menu.

ParadeChili,

Thanks for the update!

We're glad to hear things have improved since taking the steps suggested. We would recommend reaching out to Apple Support directly for any continued support on this issue next: Get Support

Take care and stay well!

I'm having the same issue (I've posted a separately on this ). Since installing Monterey, I have not been able to connect to my Bose speaker via Bluetooth. Both the speaker and MacBook say I am connected but the music continues to play from my Mac and not the speaker. I've tried reseting Bluetooth (shift+option-reset) but the reset option hon longer appears in the Bluetooth dropdown menu

I've done all of the above too, and it didn't work. I talked to Apple Support and had 2 calls with a advisor and a senior advisor, but seems the problem is not getting solved. This had never happened pre-Monterey. I reinstalled Monterey and still couldn't fix the issue.

Can't use my bluetooth earphones.

Can't Airdrop.

Can't connect to my iPhone through bluetooth.

Somebody help :(

Same here! This is Ridiculous that this problem is still going on and has not been fixed yet. My Bluetooth does eventually work after about 20 minutes. But not until I wait. And also my hard drives do not show up for about 30 minutes to an hour. Then they eventually pop up sometimes I have to unplug and plug them back in I don’t even know if that works it doesn’t work right away. But then eventually they show up and I’ve already sent them to be visible in the preferences. This OS is terrible.

Still not working. My Bluetooth works after 10-20 mins of waiting. And the external HD and SSDs HD don’t show up till about 30-40 mins. I try to unplug them, plug back in. Does not show up (and yes I have Finder preferences to Show all HD) they eventually pop up after/ within and hour. What is going On. Please All methods mentioned above, I have tried.

I have the same issue . None of my blue tooth devices are connecting . i have raised two to three support requests for the same

but they could not able to solve the problem . Is there any way to use previous version until the problem fixed .

Hi Apple Support,

I am having the same Problem after updating to macOS Monterey.

My Device : Apple MacBook Pro 16inch 2019 Model

Bluetooth Device : Samsung Galaxy Buds + & JBL Flip 5

• The signal stutters in and out briefly while listening to music, and this happens about once a minute or so.
• When i am Teams call or Google meet or Zoom call , Bluetooth suddenly get disrupted & the listeners are unable to hear me. Then i have disconnect & reconnect for them to hear me.

These above two problems are infuriating & frustrating to say the least.

NB : These issues were not there while using BigSur

Thanks

I'm in the same boat with you on my iMac'27 2019. I have sporadic drops of my Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad, basically Bluetooth shuts off and I need to plug both via a cable (had to sell my Magic Mouse and switch to Magic Trackpad as a workaround). macOS 12.1 hasn't resolved the problem, it's still there.

Right now the only one I can see - plug in devices into your Mac via cable, I understand it wouldn't work for Bluetooth headphones but at least for a Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad II it is a workaround.

I am starting to think that the issue has gotten worse since the update.

I have tried ideas that some sites are saying about deleting Bluetooth profiled from the Mac, that does not work.

I even moved my Mac mini closer to the Google nest thinking the BT signal is weak and cannot pass through a little wood and glass, and that did not help.

If people are having issues even with Magic Keyboards and Mice, so happy I have the Logitech stuff with the USB plug, I get issues with that connecting now and then, but nothing like the Magic stuff.

I have the same issue with my MacBook Pro 2018, with Monterey 12.1. My Baseus D02 Pro headset worked very well until Big Sur, and works perfectly with my iPhone, AppleTV, even with Windows Desktop computer.

But with Mac OS Monterey, no.

Thanks, this is useful. At least we now have an idea as to the nature of the problem. I wait with bated breath for Apple to find a solution or, at the very least, inform their customers about the issue.

This drives me wild. My $300 BT headphones won't work, neither will my second pair of BT earbuds that I bought specially after the Monterey upgrade to replace the older set that appeared not to work. Nor will the small speaker I travel with.

Can I go back to the Monterey version before this one?

Give me strength!! Apple please fix this debacle.... ASAP!
