Bluetooth "No default controller available" - Device missing from lsusb (Works in Windows Dual-Boot)

I am experiencing a persistent issue where Bluetooth cannot be turned on in my Ubuntu installation, despite working perfectly on the same machine in Windows 11. The service is active, but the hardware is not being detected on the USB bus.

Hardware details:

• Motherboard: ASUS B650-E WI-FI

• CPU: AMD 9700x

SOftware details:

• OS: Ubuntu 25.10. Note that i just updated from Ubuntu 25.04 but i don't recall if the bluetooth was working before as i did not use it.

• Kernel: 6.17.0-19-generic

The Symptom:

• lsusb | grep -i blue -> (No output)

• bluetoothctl power on -> No default controller available

What i tried:

• Disable windows fast boot

• Disable Bios erp setting

• rfkill list shows no soft or hard blocks

• sudo systemctl status bluetooth shows the service is Active (running).

• Attempted sudo modprobe -r btusb && sudo modprobe btusb with no change.

• sudo dmesg | grep -iE "blue|firmware|hci"
  Output:

I have no clue on how to solve this, some help would be much appreciated :)

Edit: I also tried to reinstall a fresh version of ubuntu 26.04 to see if the new kernel could fix this issue but nothing changed.

The source for this kernel module should be this. And it looks like that my device is present in the device list { USB_DEVICE(0x13d3, 0x3560), .driver_info = BTUSB_MEDIATEK},.
