Bluetooth audio dongle? - paul1149 - 10-15-2017 I'm trying to outfit a friend's laptop running LL 3.6, with bluetooth audio. It will require a dongle, as BT is not built in. I don't see any BT audio in the LL database. At Amazon, only 2 BT audio dongles show up, and the reviews are not encouraging. Do most BT dongles work with Linux, even if it's not advertised as such? Thanks. Re: Bluetooth audio dongle? - paul1149 - 10-15-2017 From what I've been reading, almost all the dongles use the same chip, and all should work, though perhaps not very well. Re: Bluetooth audio dongle? - rokytnji - 10-15-2017 4x Kernel used makes my external usb bluetooth work. I got one of those chinese cheapo dongles off of ebay . My thread is over here https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/network/skullcandy-soundmine-bluetooth-external-speaker/ Yep. Takes a little elbow grease to get things working. Still working fine today. https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/network/skullcandy-soundmine-bluetooth-external-speaker/ Re: Bluetooth audio dongle? - paul1149 - 10-15-2017 Thanks [member=494]rokytnji[/member]. That thread looks like a good resource. I hope I don't have a lot of trouble, as I'm not great with the CLI. Re: Bluetooth audio dongle? - paul1149 - 10-31-2017 Great news. I tried my existing BT dongle, but without success. It may have been me doing something wrong. Then today the new dongle came in (both are BT 4.0). I paired the headphones to it without any problem whatsoever, which is very nice. BW |
