But unfortunately, pulseaudio daemon stop and gets into restarting-stopping loop.
I can confirm that this adapter works on Linux Mint 20.3 and Windows.
@fran6120: It looks like you're reporting an issue with pulseaudio in Linux Mint 21. This has nothing to do with @princessclocky's problem that no devices show up when searching and blueman is not the correct project to address (either Linux Mint or pulseaudio).
This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.
