    Hey guys, I got the Dell 355 Bluetooth here and was wondering if there was any other newer bluetooth drivers or bluetooth stack compatible with the Dell 355? I am using A2DP headphones and there is a slight hissing in the background and can be heard on the softer music, but the headphones close the connection when no sound is being transmitted so I don't hear a hissing when it is totally silent with nothing playing on the computer. It is just heard when I am playing softer music or music is not as loud. Any solutions to this?

    It's probably in the headphones. I wouldn't expect drivers to make any difference. You could try with a different transmitting device (other than your computer) to verify, if you have one.
