★⯪☆☆☆

The good folks at AsiceSound sent me their latest Bluetooth Earbuds. They're yet another no brand company which rebadge various Chinese gadgetry.

Well, I am clueless. Because this should have worked:

# Load Bluetooth-related kernel modules at boot
  boot.kernelModules = [ "usb" "xhci_hcd" "btusb" "bluetooth" ];

Followed by
# 📶 Bluetooth Configuration

# Enable Bluetooth support
hardware.bluetooth.enable = true;

# Ensure Bluetooth is powered on when the system starts
hardware.bluetooth.powerOnBoot = true;

# Enable the Bluetooth service (systemd bluetooth service)
systemd.services.bluetooth = {
enable = true;
description = "Bluetooth service";
wantedBy = [ "basic.target" ]; # Start Bluetooth very early in the boot process
after = [ "sysinit.target" ]; # Bluetooth should be started after the system initialization
before = [ "network.target" "multi-user.target" "graphical.target" ]; # Start Bluetooth before networking, multi-user, and graphical services
};
```

My computer is an old Dell Precision T3610 and in the front of that case, I have a USB Bluetooth Adaptor. I believe the USB Bluetooth adaptor uses Realtek chipset. The actual keyboard is an Apple Bluetooth keyboard. It is model A1843 is that makes a difference.

I have no problem using my keyboard once logged in. The issue is logging in after a reboot (when greeted with SDDM). To login, I just connect a wire, but I would like to be wireless the whole time if possible.

I've given up trying get the ASHA function on my phone to play nicely with my hearing aids.
So, I've bought a tiny device that connects my hearing aids to my phone by Bluetooth - and it's amazing. It also works as a directional microphone to supplement my hearing aids.
Not cheap, but it looks like a game changer for me.
