    Hello,

    I have been trying out the built in bluetooth on my system and went through 2 headsets now but getting intermittent static. My second unit seemed to work for a little while and seems to work for a few minutes if I disconnect and re-pair the headset but it always comes back. Make sure drivers are up to date, not sure what else to try. Doesn't seem to matter where I hold the headset it seems to just be random (I could be sitting in the same position and it will just start after a few minutes and sometimes go away for a few minutes but the static is there most of the time.) Anyone have any idea on what I can try, would really like to use WSR with a bluetooth headset but not going to be possible until I can get rid of the static. Thanks!

    My porblem with bluetooth headset is that i am able to pair it to my laptop (m17x 3d), but i could not get the headset to work....no sound is coming out from my bluetooth headset.
    i have a logitech bluetooth keyboard and mouse (mx5500), and those are working fine.
    then i paired my jawbone icon to my m17x 3d, it paired with my laptop and i chose properties to my headset to use as headphones. i tried to re-start my laptop, remove device then add device, but i still could not make my bluetooth headset to work.
    any ideas?
    is it because of win7 64bit, speech recognition that conflicts the bleutooth headset?
