I have tried everything I found on the net about fixing my bluetooth but it seems there's no solution on it so I think posting this here will give me some hint. I want to connect my bluetooth speaker to my pc but it can't even detect,
my pc don't have a built in bluetooth so i'm using dongle "4ghever" I think that's the name can't barely read it bought it on local store, been using this for a couple of year and it's working on windows. I'm not sure what to do to make it work so I think someone can give a hint on what to do in here.

Zorin OS: 12.4 core.

Pc specs:
Proc: Intel i5-4400
Mobo: Asus gamer pro b85
Ram: 8gb


Thanks.

This thread made by OP is like a dejavu to me I too has this dongle and this is only meant to work on windows not in any linux type of OS. So I think OP didn't read it carefully so my suggestion the easiest way is to purchase a linux friendly usb dongle like this https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/ ... pe-n150usb it has a lot of compatiblity in any linux version I have this and it's perfectly working when pairing on my two of my bluetooth speaker jbl and aomais speaker without any hassle.
