Yep, maybe the problem is related to the fact that my dongle is 5.0?
I tried the tp-link UB500, it does not work.
Kernel log looked ok, but the device was not discoverable. No connection possible. I found this post [[SOLVED]USB Bluetooth 5.0 tp-link UB500 / Kernel & Hardware / Arch Linux Forums]
It says that the UB is supported from kernel kernel 5.15.4-arch1-1
So I assume no chance to connect it to dwarf, or does anybody have an idea?
BT5 seems to have less support.
I have a BT4 dongle and a BT5, only the BT4 works out of the box in my situation.
@Shoomo are you trying to connect to macOS?
I tried to connect with ipad, Windows PC and Android phone. The dwarf was not visible on any of these.
Ok. So not what I was thinking.
On one of the latest macOS updates these things got broken on Apple side and they still didnāt fix it - I faced the issue with a MOD device and then found people in other forums with completely different devices complaining about the same.
On iPad should work fine thouā¦
Silly question: have you turned on the Bluetooth on the Dwarf settings after plugin the dongle?
Less silly questions:
Are you using some USB HUB with the dongle?
Are you able to try a different dongle?
I also bought this adaptor. I thought it was on the list of ones that worked but not sure why I thought that!
Did you try installing the driver @redcloud ?
Which one?
Sorry - the Maxuni Bluetooth 5.0
Sorry, I didnāt catch the question. I tested the device with the firmware rtl8761b_fw.bin and it didnāt work with my android devices. Is there any new firmware available to test with my Maxuni dongle?
Nice tip @redcloud! Thanks for sharing it!
