No model number 8771 in realtek's bluetooth chip.
How to get exactly which model it is.

  • Run lsusb and you should have information about the chip.

The model of your BT chip is 8761B.

If you are interested in firmware for this device, you need:

rtl8761b_fw.bin
rtl8761b_config

But these files have not been added to linux-firmware yet.

  • No 8761 as my command's output,it is your guess.

  • I don't guess. The PID of your device is 8771. It means that it is 8761B. I added a link to the kernel commit adding support for it.

since you are using usb adapter for Bluetooth, it must be [ 11.298374] rtk_btusb: Realtek Bluetooth USB driver ver 3.1.244af65.20200812-1956
