Is this new to Catalina? 10.15.3 Catalina, 19,1 iMac. Blue tooth speakers must be re-connected every time I reboot. WHY? I have trashed the bluetooth prefs and rebooted. Nothing. I have to re-connect bluetooth devices every time I reboot.
 
You're saying your iMac and bluetooth speakers forget about each other during a reboot and you have to go through the discovery/pairing process every time?
 
Exactly. So i plugged the speakers into the imac and forget about bluetooth, unless you know why catalina forgets the pairing?
 
Latest results: after using the speakers for a couple of weeks they have STOPPED NEEDING TO BE PAIRED after I shut down the iMac or reboot either. I wish I could tell you why this wasn't the case earlier, but I haven't a clue. Anyway, never turning off the speakers who are cabled to the iMac headphones plug, w the green lite on the front of the speakers(pc/aux mode), and the speakers are working fine after rebooting or restarting. One other thing, these speakers have incredible sound.
