Bluetooth audio dongle fails audio
I installed a Jensen USB WBT431 bluetooth audio dongle (using
Bluesoleil software ver 1.6.2.1) on Win ME, and I am connecting to a Motorola DC800 Bluetooth receiver connected to a stereo sound system. The two bluetooth devices are apparently pairing using the Bluetooth AV protocol. The pairing and the starting of services is done using the Bluesoleil software, and that all seems to work, but I can't send audio to the receiver because the Bluetooth AV audio device option is not available to be switched to in the Sound control panel... the only option is the SigmalTel onboard audio device. Normally, I understand, one would just plug in the audio dongle, and Windows would use that as the active sound playback device, but that's not going to work if Windows doesn't see the Bluetooth AV audio device. My son, who gave me these gadgets for Christmas, says he made this work in Windows XP. I've tried installing the Bluesoleil software first and then letting the dongle plug and play. Then I uninstalled BlueSoleil and plugged in the dongle to see if Windows could detect it on its own, no such luck. Apparently Windows ME is missing the component that will allow it to use the Bluetooth AV audio device, so the challenge apparently is to figure out what that component is. |
