Which Bluetooth USB to go with and why?
The product page at the provided link corresponds to compatible AX200 adapters. These devices function as PCIe+USB adapters for standard Intel AX200 M.2 cards or the chip version embedded in the card. Price variations mainly reflect branding. I previously used an AX200 in a laptop and later upgraded to an AX210, connecting the older model via a PCIe to M.2 WiFi adapter on my desktop. Most cards appear similar, differing only in labeling or shield design.
Check if the USB adapter is included or must be purchased. It should connect to your motherboard via the B150M BAZOOKA PLUS port. Confirm the port type and any required cables. The B150M supports standard USB connections, so you’re all set once you have the right adapter.
Everything will back it up if it exceeds 5.0 bluetooth compatibility. The main concern is whether it performs well. This highlights that a winner might not back 6.0 since they reduced energy consumption there, making it feasible to support 5 but challenging over long distances. Focus on draw wattage and ensure the device can handle up to 5.1 requirements. Review the 5.1/5.0 specifications, the 6.0 spec, and the official sheet for each product.
I might keep the original transmitter I purchased for $7. The main idea was simply disconnecting it from my 4K TV and testing it on my PC. It performed perfectly—no audio interruptions. I also connected the adapter to the back of my PC and the motherboard, but no USB ports allowed it to function. All ports failed to communicate with the transmitter. When I plugged it into the front USB ports, it worked flawlessly without any audio loss. Interestingly, the back panel had various ports: USB 2.0, 3.0, and another labeled A. I tested each one, but the transmitter remained unresponsive. The two front ports were USB 3.0, yet they didn’t work either. My 4K TV only had a single USB 2.0 port, which is why it worked but dropped audio. What do you think this means?
The issue stems from how the audio signal travels and is received between devices. The transmitter may not be properly connected or routed for the 4K TV, while your PC setup has a direct path without interference. Check cable connections, distance, and placement of the transmitter relative to both monitors.
It might be located behind the TV screen, possibly affecting signal quality. The transmitter's orientation can also influence the antenna's effectiveness.
Yes. I see. There's really nothing I can do about that. I also just read that bluetooth speakers and/or a wifi router can cause interference. Both my Pebble V3 and wifi router are literally to the left of my PC case. Maybe they're the culprit. I'll move them around next time I plug in the transmitter to the TV. See if it does anything. Thanks to everyone that's helped me within this thread. I'm actually happy with the recent headphones and transmitter purchases. Using them quite often and at this very moment to hear the Yankee game I have streaming on my PC no matter which room of the house I'm in. You guys are super helpful.
