Bluetooth audio device no longer recognized #200

Hi guys ! I don't know what happened but BackgroundMusic made my machine (MBP mid12) stop recognizing my bluetooth audio device. That's pretty a shit considering I planned to used the app with that device. Issue was actually pretty serious as the only way to fix it was to fully uninstall Backgroundmusic and re-install my OS. Wasted quite some time.

No offence but this time, I'd rather pay few bucks for a stable app.

Have the same issue after uninstalling this app. My external bluetooth speakers can not be used anymore with MacBook Pro 13.

Updated : Problem Solved.

Simple step: sudo pkill coreaudiod

All the Steps I've tried:

  1. unpair bluetooth and do fullllly uninstall background music
  2. restart mac os by login to safe mode (holding shift)
  3. restart mac os again
  4. reset SMC and NVRAM
  5. try three command in https://gist.github.com/felipecsl/5177790 sudo kill ps -ax | grep 'coreaudiod' | grep 'sbin' |awk '{print $1}' sudo killall coreaudiod sudo pkill coreaudiod ####this works for me!!!
  6. Connected to headset and it shows on the sound output list of the system preference.
  7. 2 hrs past. Hopefully it's gonna to be helpful to others and Dear author can solve this problem in the future.

Bluetooth Device: Bose QC30 Bluetooth Headset (works fine with iPhone) Mac: 2013 Late Macbook pro OS: Catalina 10.15.3

Issue Descrip:

  1. Connected to the device via bluetooth, it will automatically disconnected after few seconds.
  2. Can't see the headset device on output list in the Sound section of System Preference, neither on the backgroundmusic's output device list during the seconds mentioned above. it shows internal speaker and Background music on the system output list, and only the internal speaker on the backgroundmusic's output device list.
  3. Uninstall backgound music by following "bash uninstall.sh", change it back to internal speaker in the Sound section of System Preference, all goes well. Connecting to my qc30, yes, It will disconnected after few seconds again and again. Nothing I can do at this very moment, even tried to reset SMC and NVRAM.

Any help from any Geekers？Maybe reinstall the Core Audio？（coz I see Restarting core audio during the uninstall process.）
