Set Up 1: Connect the Bluetooth Headphones/ Speaker to DG80P – Avantree Support

Connect Bluetooth Headphones / Speakers to DG80P

Follow these 3 simple steps to connect your Bluetooth headphones or speakers to the Avantree DG80P USB audio adapter.

These pairing instructions apply when using DG80P with a compatible PC or PS5.

Important: Do Not Pair Through Your PC's Bluetooth Settings

DG80P works as a USB audio device. Your PC recognizes it as a USB sound card or speaker, so a new Bluetooth icon will not appear.

Your headphones or speakers connect directly to DG80P, not to your computer's built-in Bluetooth.
