    Hi all,

    Has anyone been able to play audio through to bluetooth headphones from their M14x. My new sennheisers are great and easy to pair as a device however I dont get the option to play audio through them from the audio services option, from what i've read on other forums Dell are well known for making life difficult when it comes to the bluetooth adapter...they work ok on my work laptop and Mac so its not the headphones.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
    Neil

    Try uninstalling the Bluetooth driver and reinstall it. There should be a program that would pop out when u click your Bluetooth headphones

    thanks, spent the last hour on it and found that if you uninstall the current bluetooth drivers and install the following ( http://rapidshare.com/files/26537826...6.2.0.9700.rar)
    you get the audio services. Seems the latest driver doesnt work for audio.

    I've read this isnt a Dell issue, rather a win7 issue.
