Hey fellas, long time no see!! Hope all of you are doing well.
So maybe a couple of you will remember that I built my first new PC in 10 years about 4 years ago... Well, I don't have that anymore. And, I need help troubleshooting on some garbage teir HW
Basically, a 5500 XT 4 GB made its way into my hands. My main box these days is actually a 27" Thinkcentre /w a kabylake i5. I did however have a Dell tower with an x16 slot, it is old, it is DDR3, it isn't that great of a machine... but I'll be damned if FarCry 5 and CS 2 don't play smoother than butter. I was quite surprised.
Specs:
Core i5 4570 Quad Core
2x 8GB DDR3
I can tether the connection from my AIO PC, and I get excellent speeds but there are some quirks. Firstly, I'd really like to get my BT headphones working.
Skip the chit-chat?? Relevant info starts here
==> So I knew that PCIe (desktop version) to M.2 carriers were dirt cheap. I knew I'd want one with two antennas, knew that It would need a USB header because the BT radios on these cards are USB... so I ordered one up. It worked just fine. This was the one I ended up getting: https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Wireless-Adapter-Dual-Band-Antenna/dp/B0BCTZB6H1?crid=28PDEPD74VSTY
Now, I did check the keying and physical pinout of the motherboard end of the connector... it looks good. It is possible I suppose that maybe the + and - are swapped for the data lines, but the pinout order is the same on the card end (which is not labeled, so I have to hope it came right)
I tried with two Intel WiFi cards, both of which work fine on my other system. (Using an M.2 native slot, not the carrier / adapter)
Intel AX210 and Intel 8265/8275 ... both are Wifi 6 /w Bluetooth
Lsusb shows nadda with either of them. I also tried moving the usb2 lead to another MB header and no dice
Now, wifi on the other hand, shows up fine in the pci devices on both cards. And yes, I do have all the BT modules / packages installed... but the device itself won't even appear.
Here is one of the cards, the AX 210, in my other machine. BT shows up fine:
