Q: What is the driver supposed to be used?
A: See also NerdyGirl's answer. The driver can be found on http://www.driverscape.com You want the driver for a device named BCM20702A0. The following link worked better for me to get to this driver package: http://www.driverscape.com/download/bcm20702a0. I downloaded this zip file: Driver Version: 12.0.0.9980 Release Date: 2014-09-25 File Size: 171.98M Supported OS: Windows 10 32 & 64bit, Windows 8.1 32 & 64bit, Windows 7 32 & 64bit, Windows Vista 32 & 64bit, Windows XP NerdyGirl is right -- the Setup.exe file in this package doesn't work, at least for my Windows 7 machine. I followed NerdyGirl's tip about manually updating the driver. Here's how: Download the zip file. Extract the driver package in the zip file. Remember where the driver package is on your computer. Go to Start: Control Panel: Device Manager. Look in the Other Devices list in Device Manager for a device named BCM20702A0. Right click on that name. Click on Update Driver Software. Choose Browse My Computer for Driver Software. Find the driver package. Choose the Win32 folder or the Win64 folder depending on what operating system is running on your computer. If you get a warning message that the driver can't be verified, click Yes to install the driver anyway. The driver install went fine for me after that. After installation, you'll see a new Bluetooth Radios category in the Device Manager. Hope this helps.
Q: Where can I get windows 7 driver software, It's not listed in link that came with instructions
A: This uses the same chipset (Broadcom) as the ASUS Bluetooth adapter. Their driver will work for this and can be found at: https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/USBBT400/HelpDesk_Download/
A: Dave, I scoured the internet looking for legacy drivers for this and wasn't able to locate any. There were a few suggestions about trying to find Broadcom drivers for a similar ASUS adapter, but Broadcom took down their public driver resource so even those aren't available anymore. In my opinion, these should no longer be for sale if they're advertising them as Windows 10 compatible. I'm not certain you could get them to work with Windows 7 either anymore. I will be returning mine.
A: That is an EXCELLENT question. First off, it likely already has the necessary drivers installed. That said, it never hurts to see if there are updated ones available. Second, what make & model of a TV do you have? That will ultimately decide if it will even work for you. ***Note: This is only an educated guess. I will test this theory tonight after my wife returns home with my Bluetooth headphones. I will update my responce IF there is an issue. If I don't update, you can safely assume that it worked as expected. Step #1 - With the TV off*, insert adapter into USB port on TV. Step #2 - Turn on the TV and allow it a moment to install or recognize the new device. Step #3 - Open the TV's menu. You may need to access either an input, settings, or setup menu. Look for the device. With any luck, you'll find it and an option to search for Bluetooth devices to connect to. Step #4 - Make sure the headphones are in pairing mode. On the TV, start the search for devices, find your headphones, then select and connect! (Do this even if you have used the adapter and headphones together on something else, i.e. - your computer. The adapter is only facilitating the connection.) If all goes well, they should pair and you should be ready to go. [IF this does NOT work on the TV directly, but you have a cable, satellite, Android TV, NVidia Shield, etc. Check the box for USB ports. It MIGHT work that way.] * - It isn't a problem for the TV to be already on. I just suggest this. Good luck!!!!!
A: Yes just make sure you change your audio output after you connect to your headphones.
A: Doubtful. If a TV does not already support Bluetooth out of the box, installing a driver for a 3rd party dongle is unlikely.
A: While I don't have those specific peripherals, I couldn't even get an Insignia brand headphones to pair with the Insignia Bluetooth dongle. So if it can't even pair with same brand headphones, then I highly doubt yours will. I can only seem to get cell phones to pair with it and nothing else whatsoever.
A: This device needs the drivers installed to function properly. So no it will not work with a PS4 if you plug it in.
