Using my fedora (42) machine as a bluetooth audio device for the Switch 2

Hi everyone. I suppose its a bit of an odd request, but I want to use my machine as a bluetooth audio device for my Switch 2, so I can have the switch audio with other things I might be listening to while at my desk.

Now, Ive done this before with my phone, and generally my bluetooth hasnt given me any issues. I imagine there’s some quirk with how the switch 2 is trying to pair.

So far, I can get my machine to accept it, but when the switch 2 tries to connect, I get a pair request and then upon acceptance it immediately disconnect and the switch gives me a “failed to connect to device” message. Ive tried though the terminal, Ive tried through the KDE bluetooth manager, Ive tried through Blueman, but it fails on all fronts.

Does anyone have any advice?

This is what I usually get,
sometimes I also get

org.bluez.Device1.Disconnected org.bluez.Reason.Unknown Unspecified
