    Finally I have a laptop with Bluetooth....yeah.
    I have paired my Moto S9's twice successfully but I cannot get audio out to the headphone from the laptop.

    I checked all the boxs in services and still nothing.

    I cannot find anything in Control Panel to switch ouput to Bluetooth if there is one....I can't find it.

    Anyone have a solution???

    I pm's a guy who posted on Hofo and he never got any replies after multiple posts. It's no wonder manufacturers don't implement bluetooth. The figure no ones uses it....they might be right!

    I am not sure if you need to but maybe you have to configure a com port to use with the bluetooth. I needed to do that to use my treo via bluetooth. Go to the control panel and click on bluetooth devices, make sure it is showing your headphones, then click on the com ports tab and add a port. Dunno if that is the problem but it was the only way I could get mine working, worth a shot.

    It appears the Vista bluetooth stack doesn't support A2DP.
    Anyone have info to the contrary??

    Don't tell me that I am in the select few here.....what are you guys doing with these fancy new laptops anyway?

    if it's any help, HP released a new bluetooth driver package for the 9700 at the end of december :

    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...&cc=us&dlc=en&product=3650971&os=2093&lang=en

    it says :
    "Enhancements

    - Provides additional Bluetooth Profiles. - Improves performance"

    i dont have my hp yet but maybe there is one for your model as well. let us know or just google "a2dp vista" and there are ways of forcing the widcomm stack to manage such things. we'll see when i get mine as well.
