I'm at a new residence and my roommate has this excellent set of expensive speakers that have Bluetooth connection. He allowed me to use if I want. So today, I picked up a USB BT dongle and have been trying to connect to this set of jap speakers for the past fucking hour!
I'm always getting the same fucking error: "The Passcode isn't right".
THERE IS NO FUCKING PASSCODE ON A SET OF BLUETOOTH SPEAKERS!
He connects his Mac laptop just fine. He connects his iPhone just fine. I connect my Android phone just fine.
But this fucking piece of shit Lenovo with Win10 just can't connect.
WTF do I do?!?
did you put in 0000
defaults are often 0000, 1111, etc
>>56591176
I can't even get to that screen bro... this is what I get.
It think it's a set of headphones... fine... doesn't matter. But it won't do shit with it.
>>56591147
>He fell for the winshit 10 meme
>>56591189
try updating your bluetooth driver and reboot, try again
>>56591254
I did that. one of the first things I did was to go on the dongle manufacturer's website and download 150MB driver pack. Rebooted, Win10 says it's all fine but I still get the same error.

A pass code is probably being saved somewhere. Check your registry. No idea where in the registry though.
>>56592087
There's no passcode. Speaker has no passcode (confirmed by directly connecting like 4 diff devices). And there's nothing in registry.
I might try Linux next to see if that can connect... but Linux looks like shit and I don't even know how to use it.

With your problem, did you tried other bluetooth device on that crap10? so you could rule out if it's the speaker itself or the whole bluetooth system in the crapdows that's fucked up.
>>56593107
btw, not saying the speaker is wrong, the only bad thing there is the w10, but sometimes that piece of shit just say "fuck this thing in particular"
>>56593120
we did more tests.
1) dongle's fine. we plugged it into my roommate's mac, disabled built-in BT and used the dongle. it connected to speakers just fine and played the audio.
2) speakers are fine. we connected a myriad of diff iOS/android/osx devices from ppl on our floor. they all worked.
3) file transfer between android and dongle on OSX works fine. not so on Win 10.
4) when I plug it into my Win10, it can't recognize speakers and won't work even though WIn10 says everything's fine. the dongle has all the drivers.
I've basically given up at this point. not even those Pajeets on MS forums can give you an answer.
>>56593391
OSX and Android bluetooth stacks try a few default pins.
Windows doesn't by default so you need the pin. Look it up.
>>56593416
>Windows doesn't by default so you need the pin. Look it up.
this guy had the same issue few months back:

Look at the responses he got from MS.
There is no screen to plug in passcodes. There is no way for me to try anything.
after BT dongle finds the speakers, it tells me to set them up. after I click the button, I get this screen: >>56591189
There's nothing to plug in or try. Just hitting the setup/connect button brings up the same screen.
IT'S DEAD, JIM.
Win10 = total fucking shit.
>>56593459
Try using the software that came with the driver install
>>56593459
Don't know what to tell you.
I have ran into the same problems with Window's bluetooth stacks and had to install 3rd party bluetooth stacks just to get shit to connect.
Its garbage.
>>56593479
>Try using the software that came with the driver install
We tried that. You know what it does when you run software from the driver? It opens Win10 Settings -> Devices -> BT dialog.
If you fuck around with Advanced options, there's really nothing in there that would allow you to connect/setup a device.
I spent $25 on this dongle and it won't work. It's also not dongle's problem since it does work. I haven't tried Win7 but don't have Win7 handy since I left it at home.
>>56593494
>I have ran into the same problems with Window's bluetooth stacks and had to install 3rd party bluetooth stacks just to get shit to connect.
It's fucking crazy. It's not like I'm asking it do something fancy... just to connect to a damn speaker. Every mobile devices we tried worked. Mac worked. Win10 won't work.
>>56591147

Wish I could anon, wish I could. Problem is that the device isn't paired :( I can't remove it because I can't add it in the first place. When I hit Pair, I get that blue screen above.
There's no way for me to get to that screen.
>>56593587
Hey, we have the same chip inside of our BT dongle! Broadcom.
I see you connected it to a keyboard. I don't have a BT keyboard to try it with but maybe it would work. Try connecting speakers.
>>56593599
Yeah it is like a best seller on amazon. Cheap and it works. Not the best of range, but good enough for most purposes. Mine had the problem were it wouldn't connect and had to be removed from device manager before it would let me pair again.
>>56592186
You can generally make Linux look however you want might be able to find some stuff that you just download and install or something.
There's allot of user-friendly versions of the major distributions allot of people to like Ubuntu(Debian),Manjaro(arch) and Mint (I don't know honestly)
I find arch more straight forward and less cumbersome underneath which is more my thing, however that said you'll probably get more "easy and less complicated" answers on the surface level with Ubuntu.
>>56593599
>BT dongle
Also I forgot to mention that I didn't download any separate drivers. Windows 10 recognized my dongle right away.
https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Bluetooth-Adapter-Raspberry-Compatible/dp/B009ZIILLI/
>>56593611
Interesting. Yeah, it's fucking weird. After reading more threads on MS forum, it seems to be a systemic issue with MS and speakers. Win10 just doesn't work with them.
Oh well, I wasted few hours of my life on bullshit.
>>56593688
>Also I forgot to mention that I didn't download any separate drivers. Windows 10 recognized my dongle right away.
Yep. Same here. It set it up right away. It's just that it didn't work and I went to grab drivers from the dongle manufacturer's site to see if it would make a difference. It didn't.
And people still insist on using 10. Boggles the mind.
>>56593669
Thanks for the advice. Installing Linux will be my this weekend project. I got too much shit to do tomorrow and on Friday.
I gotta learn command line too so Linux will be perfect for that.
Which distro is easiest to setup so it works with Windows?
>>56593715
It's fucking garbage. I installed it because it was free and there were so many threads on here how great it is. It fucking sucks.
>>56593715
As someone on 10, I don't know what the hell they're smoking.
Direct X 12 doesn't matter yet.
Windows 10 hurts, problems and headaches everywhere.
I like the flat theme with dark personally but theirs better looking windows seven mod themes.
It's "meh" with pain
>>56593736
What do you mean works with windows?
I might not really know, I use them independent from each-other.
When choosing which distribution to go with look into them heavily so you can pick what works for you.
I started with arch (trial by fire kind-of of guy) and after trying to migrate to Debian and being put off by how all the managers and stuff worked went back.
Debian is the most popular however, Steam OS uses it, I think it's the most used and Ubuntu is based on it so that might be a better investment desktop wise.
Fedora might (no experience on my part) be good for getting your feet wet before having to deal with red-hat which (unless things have changed) is on most major servers.
>>56593808
>What do you mean works with windows?
I need to be able to back into Win after I install Linux. I heard that some don't work with UEFI bullshit and your Win partition is killed. I need Windows because of all the programs & email etc.
As for distro, I'm thinking Ubuntu or Mint... heard good things about both.

I think Grub took care of that but I haven't had to install it on anything with the newer UEFI stuff so all of the details are lost on me.
Only negative I heard lately was windows 10 trying to fuck with it because Microsoft doesn't like competition.
Grub is the only one I have experience with, seems to be the most popular and most sported as well.

Use windows 7 bluetooth has been fucked up since they changed it in wangblows 8
or use a real OS
Today was the last straw /g/. I'm going to 7 again. There has been a steep drop in quality with 10. I'd use it otherwise, but it's far too buggy.
Windows 10 has been draining my battery compared to a couple of months ago for no apparent reason (it's Enterprise edition without AU).
It has been slow to wake up and extremely slow to go to sleep whenever it feels like it, regardless of the decent hardware.
So today I had to use it for a bit, then I put it back in the bag and now that I come home I see that the laptop didn't go to sleep, so I restart it open up Aida64 and see that everything is at 50' C and half the battery is gone.

Same here. Win10 uses about 20% more of battery. Before, I could get through the day on a single charge and now I have to charge 2x a day. It's Win10's fault.
Well, seems like quite a pickle to me. Might as well just kill yourself. Might fix the issue. Report back after and tell us if it worked.

OP here!
I tried installing those Toshiba drivers but the cracked version of the driver is unstable under Win10. It apparently works fine under Win7 and Win8.1.... but not under Win10.
So I can't really try it and see whether Toshiba drivers work.
I installed Linux Mint under VMware and guess what, it autodetected dongle and after I rebooted VM, it allowed me to pair up with speakers. SO Linux works!
This is another gigantic Windows 10 fail. Wish I could easily go back to Win7.

No, it is not alright. There have been too many problems with Windows 10. Look up all the shit that's been happening after the anniversary update, OS is fucked.

i have two partitions, one with win10ent and one with win7u. Both work fine with zero problems with autoupdates disabled and telemetry tamed, but win7 just isnt cutting it anymore, the "aero vs metro" is subjective but win7 ui is simply dated at this point.
