Title: Need driver/help for Hk-808 Bluetooth USB adapter on macOS

Body: Hi — I have an Hk-808 Bluetooth USB adapter (USB-A) and need to get it working on my Mac running macOS 10.15 Catalina. The adapter appears to use a Realtek/Broadcom chipset (not sure which). I tried installing a Realtek driver from the seller but macOS still doesn’t recognize the device. I’ve allowed the installer in Security & Privacy and rebooted. Any tips on confirming the chipset, locating the correct driver, or getting this adapter to work on Catalina? Thanks!
