Dell 355 Bluetooth ----> A2DP/AVRCP compliant?

Hey guys

Tried the search feature without a lot of luck.

I have a 1530 with the 355 Bluetooth card.

I also have a Sony CMT-DH5BT Micro Hi-Fi which is able to stream mp3 from A2DP or AVRCP compliant Bluetooth modules.

I can get the Hi-Fi and the laptop to pair up without a problem. The only thing that I can't get to happen is for the bloody music to play!

Is the 355 card A2DP/AVRCP compliant? Or am I wasting my time?

I have downloaded all the latest drivers etc.

Thanks for your time - it's driving me nuts!

I have used the Dell 355 Bluetooth module with the A2DP profile to serve an audio rack as well. However the Dell 355 has a rather restricted and bad connection quality. I ended up using an external bluetooth module, since it had less drop outs.

Unfortunately the dell drivers of the broadcomm/widcomm stack are rather old (and buggy). If you can't get it to work, install more uptodate drivers.

Make a system restore point and install these over the old ones (if you don't install them over the old ones, you might run into licensing issues):
widcomm v6.2.0.740 beta driver

Or this one:
v6.1.0.4700

 

Thanks heaps 7oby!

The new drivers did the trick. I now have (surprisingly high) quality audio pumping out of the Hi-Fi which is hopefully pissing the neighbours off no end

Repped.
