I presume the dongle is a USB Bluetooth plug-in. You probably, in fact, don't have drivers installed for that dongle. Try diagnosing it through the control panel -> add device. It should find the speakers. Right-click and troubleshoot. If Windows has drivers, it should load them. Otherwise, they should have come with, or be available from, the dongle manufacturer. Good luck.

I actually had real issues with mine. Not sure if it was just a bad unit or what, but replaced it with this one: ORICO BTA-402 USB Bluetooth 4.0 Micro Adapter Dongle Mini Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter Dongle With CSR8510 Controller and CSR Harmony for Windows XP Vista 2003 2008 7 and 8 32 or 64 Bit - Black which has the same chipset and features, and it works like a champ!

It has been a while but I think it came with one USB Bluetooth adaptor and the wires to hook it up. Manual of course, What specfically were you looking for?

I'm about 60% certain that this lsusb output belongs to the same dongle (dongle is buried in equipment rack): Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

Requires the receiving device to have bluetooth capability so if the device doesn't then yes you will need to add that capability through a transciever/dongle.

I purchased an Asus Mini Bluetooth Dongle. It works really great. I have only used it with my laptops (Dell & HP).

Bluetooth is not included, but there is nothing to prevent you from adding a USB Bluetooth dongle.

you'll need to purchase a bluetooth transmitter for it separately. There are several USB styled here on Amazon for less than a few dollars that should work adequately.

It is a bluetooth device, but it does not come with a bluetooth dongle, at least not that I was aware of. It did come with a Logitech wireless usb dongle.

I don't use a dongle, but if you have a bluetooth version 3.0 dongle, that should work.

No, unfortunately. You could get a little USB to Bluetooth adapter for $13:Kinivo BTD-300 Bluetooth 3.0 Low Energy USB adapter - For Windows 10 / 8.1 / 8 / 7 / Vista, Mac OS 10.3.9 or Later

I would avoid, it uses a proprietary chip set so it needs drivers. I would use another generic dongle I think there is one from Mono. I can check my order history and let you know.

This does not come with a bluetooth transmitter. If your computer doesn't have it built in, you'd have to get a bluetooth dongle for your computer. You can find them for extremely cheap now. You can get a USB one for less than $5.

Not that I know of, but I think you could probably find a Bluetooth tool for the USB port

To tell you the truth, I have had and do not have any experience with Bluetooth speakers. The receiver has plenty of binding posts for hard wired speakers, but I don't know if it will work with Bluetooth.There are USB ports on the receiver, and it might be possible to install a Bluetooth USB dongle in one of the USB ports. If the speakers recognize the dongle, then you are 1/2 way there; but since the receiver is NOT a computer, and there is no way to program it, I have no idea how to load the speaker driver into the receiver from the dongle to get the receiver to recognize "speakers" at the outbound dongle signal.

I believe there is a "Bluetooth" adapter module that plugs into one of the serial ports that would do the trick. Contact a local electronics supply store or Radio Shack and ask about it
