Success!
After fooling around for ~3 hrs with the three different dongles i had, i was about to give up.
My problem was extremely simple. The back side of my Asrock ION (near the fan) seems to generate a distortion that disrupts bluetooth transmission. How did i get my BT dongle in front of the fan ? I was using a cheap mini 4 port pen hub like below:
This placed the dongle in front of the fan.. (i had it in the port near the '4' written on top.)
I tilted the dongle UP so it points away from the Asrock and is ~10cm away from the back panel/fan, and moved the dongle to the port below the text 'usb'. Everything now works 100%.
Guess that will teach me to use some cheap chinese $5 dongles with (apparently) improper shielding!
Thanks again to ruff and lido for sending the config files, and offcourse to the the patch ruff created!
