    I have a Dell D630 with a Core2Duo 2.2, 4GB RAM, Vista Ultimate x86, built in Dell 360 Bluetooth module, Microsoft 5000 Bluetooth mouse and Motorola MOTOROKR S9 bluetooth headphones.

    All drivers are up to date, everything is paired and working correctly by themselves. When I am steaming audio and using the mouse, there are constant drop outs with the audio as well as the mouse "stuttering." Is this a limitation of Bluetooth? Or is there some way I can change the amount of bandwidth each device gets?

    Thanks!

    Yeah you cant run 2 devices like that at the same time, streaming sterio audio uses up most of the BT bandwidth, you could get away with say a mouse and a keyboard at the same time, but headphones are pretty much going to be used alone.

    There are new versions of BT in the works, but that means new hardware to use them when they are out.
