A big "thank you" xzion. I had a BT headphones that always showed up "paired" but would not connect. However, I didn't want to go through unpairing everything as I had almost 50 devices collected over the years. So I first ran the command "btdiscovery -s" and got the BT address for the headphones. Then I ran "btpair -u -b[DEVICE_ADDRESS]" which only (finally) unpaired the offending device. I then used the normal pairing process and it paired and connected and now appeared in the drop down list in the sound devices for play and record. This worked GREAT and no need to unpair everything. Note that when you run "btdiscovery -s" you have to wait a minute for the command to complete and populate the list.
HOLY JESUS I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR 2 YEARS.
!! THANK YOU !!
