🤷♂️ Does it work at all? 😄 |
|
I am still waiting on the damn thing. Expected to ship in October so I got
cheap csr dongle so I have working Bluetooth 4 again.
On a side note, the csr dongle does work much better than the brcm dongle.

Finally got it in today, verbose lsusb output https://gist.github.com/infirit/231280f03ea2a936be79e0a8cbc07585 edit: added kernel log when using realtek module and firmware. Doesn't work yet so will continue over the weekend. ps, I'll make some time to go over all the PR and issue comment this weekend. Sorry for the delay in review. |

I got a 5.1 card (Gigabyte GC-WB1733D-I) today, it works, but I'm having trouble verifying that my headset that claims to be 5 really is (the card is, from It's an upgrade from a 2.0 for me, so I was expecting/hoping that the HSP/HFP headset mode would be improved, in terms of audio quality, but it seems the same. Blueman reports ~16.6KB/s up and down, and ~41KB/s up, 370B/s down in A2DP mode. Range does seem improved, but that could just be the proper antenna it has now, vs. the tiny PCB-inside-USB-port thing I was using before. The rates mentioned are from sitting right next to it. Theoretically we'd expect more like 125KB/s each way in headset & 250KB/s A2DP mode I believe. Having said that, I'm not even sure the modes are the same. Perhaps the mere mention of HSP/HFP/A2DP was enough for folks more familiar to know something's not right here! Appreciate any pointers and happy to test or provide whatever I can. Cheers, |

Thanks @cschramm, this maybe isn't the place for it, I don't want to hijack the discussion for my own personal troubleshooting, but this is Bluetooth monitor ver 5.55

The 'LE' and 'enhanced data rate 2/3 Mbps' sound like the headset is indeed 5 to me? So I'm not sure if it's my expectation that's at fault or the data rate I actually see when using for audio really is lower than it should/could be. |

LE is 4.0+, EDR ist 2.0+. What would be interesting are the 5.0+
(side note: I just found out that the one notebook I'm just using has a 5.1 controller 😆) |

Exactly, that's how I would read it. Fun fact: The non-LE connection is initiated by the remote device although it would support LE. I have no clue why it decides to do that. 🤷 |

Ok, finally got it working. Below bluetoothctl info dump. |

Hi, I just have a question and i hope i didn't miss the answer below. I would need this dongle to use the xbox one controller with my pc, i would like to know if this supports multiple devices at the same time. It is kinda 5.0 feature. What you guys think, can i use 2 controllers at the same time with this? |
|
@nagynorbert97: I'm not aware of limitations with multiple connected devices in general. What 5.0 feature do you mean? |
Oh wow thanks for the quick reply. Sometimes "simultaneous multi device support" or something like that is listed in the item description of BT 5.0 donglesbut i havent found anything like that. |
|
@nagynorbert97: I don't see why two controllers at the the same time should not work in general, independent of the Bluetooth version. 🤷 |
|
Don't take what manufacturers put on the box too seriously. I recently saw a speaker lamp that said it was bluetooth 5.0. I was curious and it was cheap (hint) so I bought it. There was nothing Bluetooth 5.0 specific at all, just meant it worked on Bluetooth 5.0. Anyway, I wouldn't recommend this dongle as support in the Linux kernel is not there yet. As for multiple devices, all major consoles use Bluetooth to connect wireless controllers. It has been like this at least since the ps3/wii/xbox times. So anything currently sold from reputable brands should be able to handle multiple devices. |

I sent in patches/firmware for BT500 a few weeks ago, it is in bluetooth-next and linux-firmware. |

My usb Bluetooth 4.0 dongle started acting up and I decided to buy a new one. I came across the Asus BT-500 which is a Bluetooth 5.0 dongle with a gpl kernel driver. It is in pre-order/coming in September. Bluetooth 5 is not really changing a lot and I have no devices that support it. But if you want me to provide some details or test some thing let me know.
