Troubleshooting & FAQ
- Q: My PC can't use the driver CD, how do I install the driver?
- A: If your PC lacks a CD drive, please download the driver from the official UGREEN website. Ensure you search for the correct model (e.g., "USB Bluetooth 5.4 Adapter") in their support section.
- Q: Why do I get a driver error during installation?
- A: A common cause is conflict with existing Bluetooth hardware or drivers. Please disable any built-in Bluetooth on your computer and uninstall all previous Bluetooth drivers before attempting to install the UGREEN adapter's driver.
- Q: Does the Bluetooth dongle support TV or other non-PC devices?
- A: No, this device is designed for Windows computers only. It does not work with Mac OS, Linux, car systems, TVs, or home theater equipment, as these devices typically lack the necessary drivers to support the adapter.
- Q: Can the USB Bluetooth adapter connect to two earphones simultaneously?
- A: While you can connect up to 5 different types of devices simultaneously, only one audio device can stream music or audio at a time.
- Q: Does the USB Bluetooth adapter support voice calls?
