- SD card used: `SanDisk ultra`

#### Steps to reproduce

1. `dietpi-config`
2. `Advanced Options`
3. `Bluetooth: [On]`
4. `bluetoothctl scan on`
5. `bluetoothctl pair DEVICE_ID`
6. `bluetoothctl trust DEVICE_ID`
7. `bluetoothctl connect DEVICE_ID`

#### Expected behaviour

- Successfully connecting my bluetooth headset (Bose QC45)

#### Actual behaviour

- I can’t connect my bluetooth headset (Bose QC45), I receive this bluetoothctl error: `Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed br-connection-profile-unavailable`

#### Extra details

- The end goal is to use a bluetooth headset with `kodi`.
- `pulseaudio` doesn’t work with `kodi` but I can use `pipewire` instead.
- In any cases, I can’t use `kodi` with a bluetooth headset

It doesn’t make sense to open your issue on 2 different platforms. This is just causing double efforts to manage both. Pls stick with GitHub for now. Thanks for understanding.
