Correct corrupted bluetooth -- headphones can connect but not an output

FWIW, I have had this happen when another nearby device (eg my mobile phone) was already paired with my headphones or earbuds.

If you run bluetoothctlin a terminal, can you then find your device using
scan on?

Assuming you can pair to the device ok, hwat is then reported by the infocommand?

For BT headphones, I’d expect to see something like this in the output…
