Bluetooth not pairing

My bluetooth hasn't been pairing for some time now. Last night I upgraded my MacBook air to Monterey 12.4 and still nothing. I've learned that many people are having the same problem. Does anybody know how to fix this?


I want to pair MacBook Air with Tribit Stormbox speaker.

Troubleshooting Mac Bluetooth:


Three Things to Try:

A. Verify the Connection:

See if the speaker is even seen: 

  1. Hold Down: the Option key
  2. Click: the Apple menu
  3. Select:: About this Mac...
  4. Click: System Report... button
  5. Select: Bluetooth (on the left of screen)
  6. Look For: this Speaker


B. Try Reseting the Core Audio:

Type the following command in Terminal:

sudo killall coreaudiod


C. Perform a SMC and NVRAM Reset:

Sometimes changes are made to the system(i.e. updates) and then settings (i.e. for Power) become manipulated, technically.  So, reset both the SMC and NVRAM on your Mac.
