    Small problem but my bluetooth devices like my headset and speakers will connect and show up in the devices and printers but the computer does not recognize them as an audio output. My m15x did not have this problem and was litteraly plug and play. When I had the bluetooth audio device connected it would switch automatically, but my 5 day old m11x dosnt recognize them as an audio output. I have the realtek hd audio and did not get the soundblaster option. My bluetooth mouse does work but its not a audio device. Any suggestions or anybody else having this problem?

    Exact same problem. Used stock Bluetooth module and no soundblaster. Bluetooth headphone/mic combo will show up in devices but won't display in the audio menu, have never had this issue on other laptops. Between this, graphics problems, webcam problems and activation problems, there is no doubt that the R3 does not work out of the box. Needs fixes now.

    I hope someone can find a fix for this pretty quick. I have been messing around with it tonight with no luck. This might be R3 but there is definatelly a lot of bugs with all the new components inside.
