    Alright heres the deal, my g1s comes with bluetooth support for headsets, and i've got speakers for my laptop too. I managed to connect and play out of my headset once, before restarting. Now its back to playing through my speakers...where do i go to windows to cycle between listening through my headset and my speakers? I can't find it in control panel/sound, other then picking a default....

    Well first of all, have you got a bluetooth dongle/mini-PCI card. Windows may just recognise the speakers as a generic bluetooth device, and may not necessarily recongnise as it an audio device. So you therefore probably need to use the supplied software for audio settings and adjustments.

    No no, the bluetooth headset is working FINE, the problem is i dont want to use the headset through the day...how do i turn off the headset and switch the audio to play out the speakers on my pc again? When i physically turn the headset off the windows doesnt revert to my regular speakers...

    This is a really simple question, does no one truely know how to deactive a headset and reactive audio to speakers?
