Question 1

This says "plug and play" but I also see it comes with a CD for the drivers. Is this really plug and play or do I need something to read the CD and install drivers?

Accepted Answer

I believe that you don't need the CD. You can try using it without the CD, and if Windows cannot find the driver, then insert the CD. I am using Windows 10 Professional.

Question 2

Im looking to get one of these for a desktop computer to use with a set of bluetooth wireless headphones. Will this work and are there any issues with getting it set up and paired with bluetooth headphones?

Accepted Answer

Works great with my Cowin Bluetooth headphones. The sound was awful with the native Windows drivers, but when I installed the drivers that come on the mini disk from Wavlink, (they are made by CSR), then it works perfectly. Range is not bad, but if I get three walls between the headphones and the transmitter I start losing signal.

Question 3

Would this enable a desktop PC to work with Chromecast on a TV?

Accepted Answer

No.  This is a Bluetooth adapter.  As far as I can determine, Chromecast uses WiFi, or WiFi and Ethernet (depending on the device), but not Bluetooth.  If your smart TV is connected to your home network through a network ("Ethernet") cable or WiFi, and your desktop PC is connected to your home network and has the Chromecast application downloaded to it, you should be all set.  If your internet service is just a cable plugged directly into your desktop, you may need to add a "router" to provide a network connection or WiFi host for the TV--ask your Internet service provider.

Question 4

will this work with the xbox one controller for windows 10?

Accepted Answer

Ross R. I personally don't own an Xbox gaming system. However if your system is Bluetooth capable then it should work. If it doesn't Newegg has an excellent return policy. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Question 5

Will this WAVLINK adapter make my mouse work ?

Accepted Answer

Assuming your mouse only needs to be able to communicate via a bluetooth connection, it should work just fine.  Usually a mouse needs it own proprietary dongle though.

Question 6

Can I voicechat using this with bluetooth earbuds that have a mic?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can, as long as you use the right drivers windows will automatically detect the headset

Question 7

Does this work with usb 1.0?

Accepted Answer

It may work..  It usually depends on the level of your Operating System.  Ex: Older versions of this dongle will not work on Win 10 - This one does just fine..

Question 8

where do I find an owner's manual and driver updates?  Wavlink homepage doesn't show this item.

Accepted Answer

I found none.  It is plug and play.  The bluetooth setting you need to care about are in the device you wish to connect.
