Running Catalina on a rMB 12 early 2016.



Sometimes AirPods (2nd gen) get stuck. *I've tried to killall bt daemon from terminal* but that did not work; also I cannot figure out how to bootstrap `com.apple.bluetoothUIServer` with launchctl (maybe that will help?)


    % launchctl list |grep -i blu  
    -	0	com.apple.bluetoothUIServer

Also (15:35 at the time of running ps):

    % sudo ps aux | grep -i blu
    root             24233   0.0  0.1  4341256   7648   ??  Ss    1:25PM   0:23.19 /usr/sbin/bluetoothd
    root             26058   0.0  0.1  4336844   8072   ??  Us    3:33PM   0:00.07 /usr/sbin/bluetoothaudiod <-- This one seems to restart randomly

[Here's an imgur video of the issue][1]

Rebooting the computer works but this happens quite often and would like to avoid restarting the whole computer just to fix bluetooth.


Anyone know what can I try to redo the whole bluetooth thing and reconnect my airpods? Other devices are sometimes affected, sometimes not.
