[SOLVED] EL528 headset can not connect to desktop Debian 11.

Hi all.
For several days I have been trying to connect my EL528 ANC headphones to a Debian 11 desktop with 2 blutooth interfaces:
1 - interface usb:

- Device-2: ASUSTek ASUS USB-BT500 type: USB driver: btusb v: 0.8
   bus ID: 2-1.2: 5

2 - interface on-board:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0489: e011 Foxconn / Hon Hai Acer Bluetooth module

Additionally, I installed the driver, rtl8812au.
The headphones work great on Windows 10.
The headphones are compatible with Linux.
Unfortunately I can't connect my headphones to Debian 11 + Xfce.

Re: [SOLVED] EL528 headset can not connect to desktop Debian 11.

What exactly have you tried?
Are you getting any error messages?
Have you seen this page? Following the instructions, where are you getting stuck?

From Xfce's perspective, it doesn't manage bluetooth at all - it leaves it up to other tools/approaches. You can install blueman as a graphical tool to manage bluetooth connections, but it is a third party tool.

The Arch wiki bluetooth headset entry might also include useful information.

@ToZ
From the second link you provided:
- I installed:

module-bluetooth-discover

- I started it:

 load-module module-bluetooth-discover

- I set pavucontrol - "Output devices" Headset "
And my headset works like a charm.
Appreciate your help.
Regards.
Mark.

Re: [SOLVED] EL528 headset can not connect to desktop Debian 11.

it's things like this that should be added to the "Xfce User Help Wiki".
