Insignia Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter Driver: Troubleshooting Connection Issues

Are you experiencing trouble connecting your Insignia Bluetooth 4.0 USB adapter to your PC or Mac? You're not alone. Many users have reported issues with this adapter, particularly when trying to make and receive phone calls on their computer via their iPhone.

In my case, I was trying to connect my Insignia Bluetooth 4.0 USB adapter to my Windows 8.1 PC in order to use it as a hands-free device for making and receiving calls on my iPhone 5. However, when I tried to dial a number, the phone defaulted to using the iPhone speaker and microphone instead of the computer's. Additionally, while my PC was able to play sound from my phone, I was unable to use the computer's speaker or microphone to talk on the phone.

After researching possible solutions, I discovered that my Insignia Bluetooth 4.0 USB adapter supports a range of profiles, including those for making and receiving phone calls. However, it appears that there may be some limitations to its functionality when used with certain devices and operating systems.

In my case, I was trying to use the adapter with OS X, but unfortunately, it didn't work. When I opened up System Information, the device showed up under the USB Device Tree as BCM20702A0, with no information on its current required power (mA) because the device had not been configured.

I also tried using kexts from a post about installing Yosemite on a Lenovo IdeaPad Z580, which uses the same Bluetooth device as my adapter. However, this didn't work either. It seems that there may be some compatibility issues with this particular adapter and OS X.

If you're experiencing similar problems with your Insignia Bluetooth 4.0 USB adapter, I recommend trying to troubleshoot the connection by checking your adapter's settings and ensuring that it is properly configured for use with your device and operating system. If you continue to experience issues, you may want to consider seeking further assistance from the manufacturer or a technical support professional.

Overall, while the Insignia Bluetooth 4.0 USB adapter has some limitations when used with certain devices and operating systems, it can still be a useful tool for making and receiving phone calls on your computer. With a little troubleshooting and patience, you should be able to get it up and running smoothly.
