Creative BT-W5 Bluetooth Dongle on OpenBSD

phildom

I use OpenBSD as my main Computer for everything, also for work and thus M365 video conferencing. So far, I haven’t had good solution for video conferencing and fell back to my Windows Client. Then I stumbled upon joshua stein’s article on Bluetooh Autio on OpenBSD with the Creative BT-W3. As a result I bought the Creative BT-W5.

So far it works greate. I’ve paired my AirPods Pro with the dongle, and now I can use my AirPods Pro on OpenBSD. So far everything works without problems and no further config, even the microphone! How amazing is that! Though weirdly it doesn’t show up in sndioctl

Still need to do some more tests and investigate a little more.

But so far, it all works great!

This is just a stub. A complete article will follow…
