I installed zorinOS 18 Core one month ago, and bluetooth worked just fine! However, first one pair of headphones started to not be detected and now both, actually it doesn't detect any device. I've asked ChatGPT for help but after several tries to fix it, it didn't. How can I fix this problem?
Welcome to the Forum!
Did You take a Look in the ''Additional Drivers'' Tab in Software & Updates if there is a Driver offered? Does Your System run in Wayland or X11? You can check that with the Terminal Command echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
Are Secure Boot and Fast Boot in BIOS isabled? If Windows is still installed: Is Fast Start-Up in Windows disabled? Could You post the Output of the Commands sudo lshw -C network and rfkill list please?

Also, secure boot I think is enabled and windows is still installed.
As long as Secure Boot is still enabled, and Windows is still installed, likely taking control with Fast Startup enabled, you are likely to run into problems.
I recommend you go into Windows, and turn off Fast Startup. Then go into the BIOS, and disable Secure Boot. Now try your sound again in Zorin OS.
I also agree, run your OS in X11 at login instead.

Like @StarTreker already suggested, I would say too to try it with disabled Secure Boot and Fast Boot in BIOS and disabled Fast Start-Up in Windows.
Switching from Wayland to Xorg is something You could try, too. To do that, go to the Login Screen. Click there on Your Profile so that the Password Field appears. When it is appeared, You should see a Gear Icon in the bottom right Corner. Click on it and choose the Option ''Zorin Desktop on Xorg'' and then log in.
