I use an ethernet connection on my PC. My PC has no wifi capabilities.

WHAT I EXPECT: When I insert the USB Bluetooth device I should simply be
able to connect my earphones and use them without crackling sounds
and/or messages that don't mean anything to me.

WHAT HAPPENED IN STEAD:

    I purchased a (No Name) USB bluetooth 5.0 device. When I inserted the 
device the OS immediately picked it up. Before I connected any devices, mobile 
phone or earphones, I got the following message immediately: 
    “Connection Failed. Activation of network connection failed.” When I 
switched on my bluetooth earphones, Jabra, after the usual pairing they 
connected and I could listen to music using VLC, however, I got a crackling 
noise every now and then which sometimes coincided with a display of 
“Connection Failed. Activation of network connection failed.” The sound quality 
was also not consistent, so, I returned the USB device assuming that it was 
faulty.
    I subsequently purchased a WINX 5.1 USB Bluetooth device. When I insert the 
device the OS immediately picks it up. Before I connect any devices, mobile 
phone or earphones, I get the following immediately:
    “Connection Failed. Activation of network connection failed.” When I switch 
on my bluetooth earphones , Jabra, after the usual pairing they connect and I 
can listen to music using VLC or Youtube using firefox. Every now and then 
there is a crackling sound which sometimes coincides with a display of 
“Connection Failed. Activation of network connection failed.” The music quality 
sound is good and is only affected by the crackling sound.
    
   It seems to me that the OS is trying to establish some connection, but to 
what ?
