Hi I'm trying to wirelessly connect to a Bluetooth dongle on my raspberry pi 4.The problem is, when I scan the pi doesn't show the dongle. I tried monitoring Bluetooth with Wireshark. It seems like there is no signal from the dongle, although it works fine with Bluetooth handsets. My ultimate goal here is to connect my pi to my ps4 and stream the audio from my ps4 to my raspberry pi. Some research gave me the ideas of using OTG or Bluetooth. I don't know enough about either topics to know if any of this is possible. the USB dongle can be found here: https://www.takealot.com/bluetooth-adapter-dongle-for-sony-playstation-4-ps4/PLID54548261 Questions 1. Is using this dongle possible, if not then why? 2. Are there other ways to approach this?

can the Pi see other bluetooth devices? what os are you on? what device does the dongle work on?

Why don't you use the built-in Bluetooth?
