FantasyAcquiesce Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) Hello MSFN, I am seeking a driver for the below device. Google has not been my friend here. I just want to use my dongles on Windows 7 is all. This generic model is known as "Br8041 Bluetooth 5." Most dongles are very short and are only labeled with a "V5.0" on them- they are lots of clones of this model. The hardware ID says this is a Cambridge Silicon CSR Bluetooth device.

Several of these I bought in the past did. Most died very fast. Make sure they are properly cooled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixel Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Found! Generic bluetooth 5.0 is what he wants. "I can't even find Windows XP or 7 drivers for generic bluetooth 5.0 dongles on ebay." https://msfn.org/board/topic/185881-seeking-bluetooth-30-ud-300m-usb-drivers-for-windows-98seme/?do=findComment&comment=1259897 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No useful replies so far. I found this driver, but attempting to install it gives me a message that there are unauthorized bluetooth devices in the PC...disabling the drivers still refuses to install the driver. https://gist.github.com/peteristhegreat/b48da772167f86f43decbd34edbd0849?permalink_comment_id=4046100 Is there any hope? I haven't found a single instance of this driver working on Windows 7. Edited February 16 by FantasyAcquiesce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
