Can someone tell me if the XP SP2 Bluetooth stack supports audio gateway &
headset services.

Paul

Oh, why on earth did Microsoft not include these with SP2?

Do you know if they have plan to add them? In the meantime I'll stick with
the Widcomm drivers then!

Regards,

Paul

The latest Microsoft driver is the one shipped with Windows XP Service Pack
2.

Th latest Widcomm drivers are (should be) available from the O&M who
manufactured the Bluetooth adapter you're using.

Not for headset use. You asked where to download the latest drivers.

Windows XP SP2 is the latest Microsoft stack. Not all Bluetooth hardware
work it it. Check the list on

Widcomm 1.3 and up supports headset, but you can only download from the
manufacturer's site and will work only with that specific brand (unless you
do some changes which I do not condone).

Hi Paul,

that would be very interesting for me. I am using a Jabra BT 200 with an
Acer USB BT Dongle Class 2 (comes with Widcomm) under Win XP home, updated
last Sept.. The pairing works fine, Audio-out is great, I hear my Skype
Partner clearly, but he can't hear me clearly, just verz low and garbled.
Same for me, I can't adjust any peaks in the Volume- and recording controls.
That's why I would ask you, if that works on your system. Did you try
Windows Hardwaretest in the Control Panel / Sounds and Audio / Voice? That's
inactive here, too.

Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
Stephan

Hi Uli,

no, nothing. I did the Windows Update in between (obviously not SP2, just
updates), but no working with the microphone so far.
Very annoying. The headset works perfektly with my mobile, so I'm sure it's
a software bug. Gonna have to buy a stupid cable mic for skype, as it seems.

Well, still appreciating any help with this,
Cheers,
Stephan
