You could test if it works with kernel 6.14. At grub menu select advanced options for Zorin and select kernel 6.14 to boot from and test bluetooth then. Many problems were reported with the new 6.17 kernel.

Slight aside here. Having learned of Microsoft submitting poor code in the past with regard to USB drivers to the Linux kernel I decided to do an A.I search and found past kernels that nearly got messed up due to MS poor coding:

" The Linux kernel 6.17 release was not notably full of bugs due to code submitted by Microsoft. However, a significant incident occurred around the Linux 6.13 kernel, not 6.17, involving a change contributed by a Microsoft engineer.

  • The problematic change in Linux 6.13 related to EXECMEM_ROX , intended to improve performance on x86_64 processors, was merged without proper acknowledgment from the x86 kernel maintainers.
  • This caused major breakage , including failures in hibernation and issues with Control Flow Integrity , due to unintended side effects on system security features.
  • The change was caught during the prerelease phase, and a fix was merged to disable the problematic code before the stable release of Linux 6.13.
  • The incident raised concerns about the review process but did not result in a buggy 6.17 release.

There is no evidence in the provided context that Linux 6.17 was compromised by Microsoft code or suffered from widespread bugs. The removal of Bcachefs from the mainline kernel in 6.18 was a deliberate decision by Linus Torvalds, not a bug-related issue.

AI-generated answer. Please verify critical facts. "

Beneath switching the Kernel: Did You checked the ''Additional Drivers'' Tab in Software & Updates if there is a Driver for Your Bluetooth offered?

Thanks everyone for the info, but it seems the problem solved by itself... so to speak, at least.

I hadn't switch my computer on since my last post. Tonight, after the system update of the day, I tried again to pair my headphones and it worked without a glitch... Weird, because last time, even after several attempts, it didn't avail to much...
