How to Use Avantree DG80 - Bluetooth 5.0 USB Audio Adapter Transmitter for Music & Meeting & Gaming

[@grinreaperdutchphil]

Have Windows 11. Already had an Avantree Leaf. Works like a charm. Plug & Play. Good to go. Bought dh80 recently, because 2 computers. No Plug & Play. Nothing, nada. Why oh why, is it such a pain to get it to start?

[@Avantree]

The DG80 should be plug & play just like the Avantree Leaf. Try this: click and hold the button on the DG80 until the LED starts flashing. Then double click the button.

[@grinreaperdutchphil]

@@Avantree Thanks for your assistance. I have sorted it out in the mean time. I have three wireless headphones, two computers and two dongles. Two headphones were paired with the leaf dongle on one computer earlier. My other headphone finally did manage to pair with the DG80 dongle after I disconnected the leaf on my other computer. Am a happy camper now.

[@Avantree]

@@grinreaperdutchphil Thanks for the feedback and thank you for choosing Avantree!

[@Junior2323able]

Pairs well with Samsung buds pro 2 to my ps5, only problem is mic doesnt work, not sure if the usb or earbuds is fully compatible?

[@Avantree]

To activate the mic, double click the button on the DG80 dongle. If it still doesn't work, send us an email at [e-mail]

[@Junior2323able]

@Avantree It worked but quality dropped in half.

[@Avantree]

@@Junior2323able Unfortunately this is to be expected. It's a limitation with Bluetooth technology. If you want good audio while using a mic, either look into: FastStream Bluetooth Headphones, Wired Headsets with Mic, or 2.4GHZ Wireless Headphones. You can watch this video for more information: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4Cvdaelp6x0hdk

Hey, quick question guys which mic is being used if we are not using Avantree Headphones, will it use the headphones mic or does the device have a mic of its own in that case ?

[@Avantree]

It will use your headphones mic. You can change this in your computer/PS4/PS5 sound settings. The device does not have a mic of its own.

[@Mackn0]

Hey Avantree, so this connects to my speaker pretty well but there is a noticeable delay. Is there a fix for this? (the speakers I am using are Coby speakers)

[@Avantree]

Try double clicking the button on the adapter. If that doesn't work, then there's no way to fix it. It's because the adapter and the speakers don't share the same low latency Bluetooth codec (not supported).

[@ninealpha9562]

is there a way to turn it off when you dont need bluetooth or do you need to unplug it every time?

[@NiNjaTurtLe697]

Awesome music and it sounds great with my bluetooth headphones, *however*, when I enable MIC mode on your usb audio adapter.... the sound is Mono. Can you advise please?

[@Avantree]

That is because the headphone doesn't support faststream codec. FastStream is a type of Bluetooth codec, all the Avantree USB adapters mentioned above supports FastStream. When you connect a headphone/headset that supports FastStream to the adapter, you'll be able to get 16-bit Stereo Quality voice chats - much better than the Mono quality you've been getting through your own headphones.

Unfortunately there is no way to stop people from connecting to it. Although if something is connected to it at the moment, then other devices won't be able to connect until they are disconnected.

[@Avantree]

Hi there! It looks like the BEOPLAY H95 only supports aptX Adaptive, not aptX Low Latency codec. Since the headphones and transmitter do not share the same codec, it will default to the second best option (in this case, it should default to the normal aptX). You can learn more about the different codecs at their website: aptx.com/ Since the headsets will default to aptX, the latency should be around 100ms, which is visible, but shouldn't be too distracting to most viewers. If the issue continues, you can try resetting the devices and reconnecting them. We would also recommend using a Bluetooth device that supports the same highest codec (aptX Low Latency if you'd like to prioritize lip-sync delay, in this case) to optimize your experience. We have a few on our website that could potentially be of interest of you, but understandable if you'd like to stick with the BEOPLAY H95 with aptX Adaptive. Best of luck!

Sorry to hear that. To clarify, the reason you're experiencing latency is likely because your speakers don't support the low latency codecs such as aptX Low Latency or FastStream.
