I need some help finding a bluethooth adapter for my tablet

[reble]

This is for a ZTE K90U tablet OS V6.0. I need a bluetooth version of the item in this link https://www.sweetwater.com/store/det...MaAvsmEALw_wcB I have the USB adapter in the link and it works good. But I can't charge the tablet and run the audio line/out at the same time. I don't know how to word it for Google search to find the bluetooth version of the item in the link. Or is there a prog to direct link my tablet audio to my laptop audio via bluetooth or wi-fi?

You should have a charging port and a audio out port on this thing.
Use the audio out port.

I'm not sure that there is a Bluetooth equivalent of the Behringer U-Control. Of course this tablet only has one USB type-C, plus a headphone jack, and Behringer state they only support PC or Mac with this device. There are some tablets that have multiple USB plus a separate charging jack, but not this ZTE.

I can't use the audio in/out jack on the ZTE tablet because it is a powered port. The tablet sends voltage out on the audio in and out lines for the headphone/mic. I already tried an adapter to bring out 2 separate audio lines to my laptop and it doesn't work. I can do it with a 2nd laptop but I have no place to put the 2nd laptop when I am not using it. I have a spot that I can put the tablet when I am not using it. What I am doing is. I operate HF amateur radio via a remote base controlled via the internet. The control program on my laptop is a sound card type program. When I work digital modes, like rtty, psk31, slow scan tv and so on. The decoding programs are also sound card programs. You can't send the sound (both transmit and receive) from 1 sound card prog to an other sound card prog on the same laptop. That's why I normally use 2 laptops and cross feed the audio lines

Which is usually used to power a headset with built-in mic. But you should be able to wire a cable that ignores the voltage, like use a TRRS jack but only connect L-out, R-out, and GND, and the V+ voltage output/mic is just left disconnected.

PCs and laptops are usually better able to connect multiple devices up, rather than a mobile device like a phone or tablet. The single USB type-C on the tablet can only charge OR connect devices, but not do both simultaneously.

The digital programs that I was talking about need both in and out on the audio jack to work. I tried a RCA 10" Viking Pro model rct6k03w13 tablet. This tablet has both a USB type B port and a USB type 2.0 port with it's own jack for the charger. 1 problem though. A standard off the shelf USB cable or a thumb drive won't work in the tablet. I would have to buy a USB cable and an adapter for the thumb drive from RCA. So I returned the tablet to Walmart.

Is there any kind of an Android app that I can download that will change the audio port on the ZTE tablet? My Dell laptop has the same single audio port like the ZTE. The laptop also has an audio manager prog that I can go in and change the audio in line from a powered in line (for the boom mic) to a non-power line in (no voltage) to ether use a non powered mic or use it as an audio line input to feed audio in from an other device.

Apps are software based, the audio port you're referring to is hardware. Apps cannot directly re-purpose internal hardware components, at best an app might be able to provide a similar, alternative function or interim workaround. As you're frequently referring to the multimedia functionality and capability of desktops/laptops, your expectations that a tablet having the same isn't a reality yet, Probably to come in the near future but not presently.

Perhaps you're better off just picking up another laptop, maybe a smaller sized one that fits into the space you indicated?

Well we are moving this weekend to a new better apt. And my bedroom were my computer and radio station is in, is about 2x bigger then my old room. My old room is 11' by 12'. And if the new management excepts the letter from the ARRL Eastern Washington section leader about putting up my G5RV HF antenna or some kind of a compromise antenna. Then I won't need to use the remote base and I won't need the 2nd laptop period. I just got the word around 2pm today. It is in the bag, locked up and nailed close . We are going over in a little under an hour to sign the papers and get the keys.

For information, there are some laptops which are very small, if the shack does have limited space. I've got the GPD Pocket, which is size of a small tablet, and is very much a full-featured Windows or Ubuntu laptop, with 2 USBs, HDMI, etc, and would work with things like Behringer U-control no problem.

BTW I was a radio ham as well, until I moved to China.

I looked at the GPD Pocket. Right now the GPD Pocket is out of my price range. But if I get my VA pension increase in a few months like they are talking about. $550. will be chump change.
