Default Alternative to Bluetooth dongle

I use Linux Ubuntu.

I have tried for months to get a Bluetooth dongle (tried 4 kinds) to
send sound to my Altec Landsing wireless headphones with no luck.

"This page lists some of the Bluetooth USB Adapters that work on Ubuntu.
-- You may also want to consider purchasing a free software compatible
device. Unlike non-free driver dependent hardware support exists out of
the box and will continue working going forward. Many other Bluetooth
dongles will not."


That page also advises lsusb. It also refers people to the ThinkPenguin
site which sells linux compatible devices, but their USB bluetooth
dongle is pricey. I'm sure one could find a better deal than that.


I expect that one reason you haven't found help on the Ub forums so far
is because you don't know how to ask questions properly yet.
