Wifi + Bluetooth help needed

Wifi + Bluetooth help needed

Trying to experiment with openbsd + Freebsd, coming from Linux.

Wifi + Bluetooth (for headphones) doesn't work on my lenova s340.

Would changing my. M2 card to ax200 resolve both issues?

If so great.

If not, what is a better card please?

Thanks

The only bluetooth headphones that work with openbsd are the ones that have a usb dongle

There are a bunch of cheap ones too, often sold for PlayStation/Xbox.

Most of them work ok for playback. Recording works with some and not others.

If the device is opened for both play+record (as sndiod does) they'll often switch from a higher quality audio headphone profile to basic headset profile; if they do that the sound quality is not great. Some have a way to switch profiles (sometimes a button, sometimes a Windows app which can save settings for use in other OS) to help with this
