Ubuntu 22.04 AX210 Bluetooth Unusable

Asked by Alistair Sutter

I'm using a MSI Delta 15 laptop with an AX210 wifi+bluetooth built-in chipset.

My bluetooth was working flawlessly until the last month or two. I use bluetooth headphones and a bluetooth mouse.

Now I have to use wired headphones because my bluetooth just keeps dropping my headphones.
Now my mouse lags the hell out whenever I try to use it.

I've scoured the internet. It seems nobody has this specific issue. The bluetooth has become unusable on its own.

I think I had a recent kernel update, 6.2.0-39 that might be the cause. I think it worked correctly on 5.15.0-91 so I tried reverting the kernel to no avail.

I tried various things like dmesg | grep Blue, disabling bluetooth co-existence on the chip, installing the newest 6.5.0 firmware...
Tried removing firmware files in /usr/lib/firmware to make it rollback. No dice.
Tried reinstalling all my kernels and kernel modules and etc... still no dice.
The biggest issue is that there is no apparent error. It's not like the chip is unclaimed. It just doesn't work correctly.

I need some advice. It worked great a couple months ago and now everything lags in bluetooth.

I'm not too sure how to troubleshoot this either since the device is claimed and "appears" to function normally.

I opened up my laptop and noticed that one of the antenna cables was barely connected. It was popped off but still touching the contact. Popped it back in and my bluetooth is back to something good!
