the setup of Grado GW100x has failed

[Alan Polinsky <alan.polinsky@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there. I am a retired computer programmer who has recently purchased 
a Grado GW100x pair of bluetooth headphones. I have an older Dell XPS13 
computer dual booting between Windows 10 (rarely) and 64 bit 
Slackware15. If I boot into Windows 10 the headphones connect perfectly, 
but under Slackware I get the message: "the setup of Grado GW100x has 
failed". About a week ago I installed a new version of Bluez from 
Slackware but the problem remains. I don't know how to even debug the 
problem. People at the LinuxQuestions forum suggested switching from 
Pulseaudio to Pipewire, which made no sense to me, but I gave it a try. 
I get the same result. Perhaps you can help.
