    Hi all

    Newbie here so apologies if this has been covered!

    Bought a mini Bluetooth dongle, which installs itself and I can see the icon in the system tray. I can then get my headset to pair with it however, I cannot seem to change the sound device settings to Bluetooth device as opposed to the default sound hardware, I am trying to get the headset to wrork in Skype. Please could anyone advise what I need to do? Am running Windows XP on my AAOne.

    Thanks
    Kyle

    I use Jabra headset/handsfree which works very good with Skype. All I did was changing default audio device in Tools/Options/Audio settings in Skype itself... Sometimes to get better results there is need to pair device prior to see it in any available device list...

    Have you tried to install Bluesoleil software?? Is worth trying. I had some problems with my Jabra at the beginning but after tests with Bluesoleil it started to work OK...

    Take older version Bluesoleil_2.6.0.9 - this one is the latest. Suggest Torrent...
