Audio device mainly used, Logitech Z410(USB-A, USB-c and adapters also has), also has USB headphones Apple and the other brands

USB audio devices do not showing up in the Audio setting, show only iMac Speakers and Boom AudioDevice, and BoomAudio Virtual. (Boom deleted long time ago, but still has it.) Also not show headphones icons in setting audio and in Menubar and in Control center.

Also Bluetooth has problem as well, Mac suddenly wake up itself from Sleep Mode. Also cant fix it, only the way switch off toggle off Bluetooth.

I'm thinking about reinstall Tahoe 26.2, may be all problems fixed, may be not...Before update to 26.6 all devices working with no any problems.
