@AnaatGitHub so I just violently killed all the Bluetooth and Audio related processes. I guess MacOS is smart enough to restart all those background processes if you are trying to use them later. You know "reboot fixes almost 99 percent problem" lol.

BTW, I am not sure if there is any other way / app for doing such thing.
