Windows 10: Bluetooth audio through dongle Sucks

So im running windwos 10 pro 21H1 newest drivers, everything on my PC is updated. However My Board does not support Bluetooth so to be able to use a bluetooth headset i have to use a third party software to use bluetooth, so heres the issue, if I connect my wireless hedphones through windows through the dongle I cant use my headphones, the audio is crazy scratchy cuts out, UNlistenable. If I use this software called Bluesoleil it installs its own bluetooth drivers and my audio works fine. Whats wrong with the realtek bluetooth drivers that they dont work? Anyone have a solution, cause I am only using this software as trial, I cant afford to pay 40 bucks right now for their license. I have scoured the net and it is a serious issue tons of people have the same problem I do, however, it seems everyone is saying its the Realtek drivers. Yes I have Uninstalled them and reinstalled blah blah blah, nothing fixes the issue. Anyone?

Bluetooth USB Dongle

Ok so here's a question. I had a revelation today that: "Duh, my keyboard/mouse is bluetooth, shouldn't that be the same thing?" My goal here is to get my new Motorola HT820 bluetooth headphones to work with on my computer.

Keyboard/Mouse is Logitech MX5500 Revolution, bluetooth wireless, came with a USB dongle that they connect through. I tried today to get the headset to work, and it won't receive sound. I can get it "connected," but with complications. I'm using Windows XP, have Setpoint 4.7, and I've tried the following:

-Changed the radio settings to a bluetooth hub instead of locked to the keyboard/mouse.

-Clicked "Connect Other Devices."

- Paired headphones with windows. Windows connects correctly, the device reads connections, windows shows it as "already connected" when I try to connect it again. I click on Control Panel -> Bluetooth Devices, and I see the "Motorola HT820" listed as "Passkey enabled," but it doesn't say "Connected" like the keyboard and mouse do. Also, audio does play on the headphones.

-Click on Properties on HT820, and then on services, it does not show any services at all.

- Searched around google, logitech, motorola websites & forums to answers or help, nothing. Closet I got was logitech's "Bluetooth FAQ" which has the following paragraph (http://www.logitech.com/lang/pdf/bluetooth/bluetooth-faq.pdf):

"3.6 How do I listen to music wirelessly with a Bluetooth headphone?
All you need is a Bluetooth headphone and a media player such as iTunes or Windows Media Player 10. For optimal results, it is recommended you use a headphone with Bluetooth 2.0 Enhanced Data Rate, to benefit from the maximum bandwidth (up to 3Mb/s).
Please refer to our online "How To" documents for step-by-step instructions related to your specific device (www.logitech.com/bluetooth/howto)." [That link transfers you back to the same pdf document - it's a circle]

-I tried to install latest Widcomm stack from broadcomm's website, but it says it's not compatible with this dongle.

-Called Logitech Tech Support - got a total jerk girl who straight up said "No i can't help you." And then wouldn't give me the time of day after that.

I've read on threads on Logitech forum that people are using this headset with logitech dongles. Any help getting this connected? I just don't want to have 2 bluetooth dongles connected when I rly only should need this one. Otherwise I guess I'll just purchase one of the ones above, and use that to connect my keyboard, mouse, and headphones all in one swoop.

Sidenote: anyone have experience/knowledge with behavior when 2 bluetooth USB dongles are connected to the same computer?

 

Bluetooth dongle audio only ? how to test?

I recently got a bluetooth dongle which refuses to connect to anything like a phone or a game controller.
Phone sees PC, and PC sort of sees phone calls it a communications device, (it is an S8), but fails to connect always.
One time it sent a pairing number but it failed. Seller refunded me the $3 I paid.

But I did find if I have my 2 laptops next to each other, one with builtin bluetooth, other with this usb dongle, the pc can pair with a sent number and connect fast.

Then the laptops are listed as an audio device. Does that mean it is an audio only dongle? Seems kinda stupid to waste a ver 5.0 designing it only for audio?

Is there a way to test it with audio?
If I try to send a file, it fails.
The laptop with built-in bluetooth works fine with phone and game controller and can send files to phone etc...

 

Bluetooth dongle problem!

My problem was (got a new laptop w/ built in bluetooth) that the actual bluetooth did not connect with the PC. I didn't have audio playback problems because the bluetooth wasn't even connected to the PC. Someone on another forum said that he had a similar problem and it was due to the wireless mouse drivers he used. I also used a wireless mouse with a little receiver dongle.
