Re: Motorola S9 bluetooth headset A2DP connection problems

I had the same problem using a Plantronics Pulsar 590 and Vista Home
Premium on a Sony Vaio. After working at it for a day, I have found an
answer. This has to do with the bluetooth stack Vista uses. After 24
hours of pulling my hair out, I got it all working. Heres how:
Basically you are going to need a new bluetooth stack. As you have
noticed, the one included with Vista totally blows. You can get the
latest BlueSoleil stack for about $35 bucks, or I heard that the Toshiba
stack works too (which I think is free?). Anyhow, I used BlueSoleil 6
Mobile (which also supports some mobile phone applications. But it's
not just for mobile devices, so don't let the name throw you.) Test it
out first with the free download trial at 'Bluesoleil - Bluetooth
Software' (http://www.bluesoleil.com/products/.)
Now after I installed BlueSoleil on my Sony Vaio, the world became a
little brighter. My Plantronics Pulsar 590 headset worked. My
Plantronics Discovery 655 headset worked. I could use either one of
them with Skype or with any audio application that you would otherwise
use a corded headset for. Then I decided to attach my cell phone to the
computer by bluetooth. The BlueSoleil site did not list my phone as
being one that worked with this feature. But I tried it anyhow. When
the program asked what phone I was using, I selected one that was close.
It worked. The program allowed me to do a sync of sorts with my
phone's contacts and text messages. Not like with Activesync, the info
is kept in your bluetooth places. I guess if I lose my cell now, I won't
be so SOL.
Next I attached my PDA via bluetooth. And that put a little damper on
things. My ActiveSync/MSDC program was having trouble over bluetooth,
and I had never had a problem before with that. I think BlueSoleil and
the sync program are competing for the serial port used to do the sync.
I am working on a fix for that, but I'm not too distressed 'cause I can
still sync my PDA using a USB connection just fine. And now I can dust
off the rest of my bluetooth devices and have some fun.
By the way, I did have to reboot two times after I installed this new
stack. After the first install and reboot, some of the services weren't
immediately available. But that was fixed by the second reboot.
Good Luck!
