    I just got my new dell 1520 along with the Dell Bluetooth headphones. I paired these two together, and they were working for a while. i decided re-install the sound driver on my computer, and I also did some other stuff, and now I can't get the headphones to play anything through them. (I use WMP) I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the bluetooth headphones, soundcard driver, etc, but I can't figure out what's wrong. I even did a system restore a couple timesand i can't get them to work.

    When you reinstalled the sound driver, did you also remember to change the playback device to your BT headphones? Chances are the reinstall reverted the output back to its default option, which would be the laptop's built-in speakers.
