    What exactly are the BlueTooth drivers for the M14x? I can't find it on the support page.

    I don't remember how I got the standard BT drivers, I think they were found by Windows 7 on it's own. Either way the "Stock" drivers do not support streaming audio over bluetooth. In order to get that working, I had to install a different driver, found here:

    [Edit]
    I know it says USB, but it install's a bluetooth stack. If you don't need to worrry about bluetooth headphones, then just install the drivers linked above.
