Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0a5c:21e8 Broadcom Corp. BCM20702A0 Bluetooth 4.0 This is the USB dongle that I have, bought this particular one from Amazon as the description said it works with Linux and technically, it does. After installing the TDE packages over Debian, I lost the Plymouth bootsplash and get rows of messages before the login screen appears. One of the lines mentions that it can't find the firmware for this device. I'm guessing at this point, that there is something included with PCLOS that makes this device work properly, which Debian apparently doesn't include, however there is a package 'bluez-firmware', its description indicates it's required for operation of Bluetooth dongles based on the Broadcom BCM203x chipset. But there is a GitHub project page with DEB and RPM firmware packages for the 20702, so I'll give it a try.
That firmware package solved the problem with the Inland headphones. It will switch between the two profiles and its mic now works through Bluetooth with the HSP/HFP profile. https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware Although with the Creative headphones, I now get no audio whatsoever with them, using either profile. So...ones mileage may vary. -- Linux.
