    Windows 7 built in Bluetooth no longer includes support for Bluetooth Audio

    You will need 3rd party drivers

    You should be able to get Vista drivers from whoever makes your PC/Bluetooth adapter

    I've got a set of Harman/kardon Soundstick II speakers and i wan't to play music wirelessly from my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6000 series) onto it i.e I don't wanna plug the speakers directly into the laptop.

    I bought the Sony HWSBTA2W Bluetooth Transmitter/Receiver and have managed to connect/link it to my laptop. The problem is however, how do you get a music program such as Windows Media Player to play music via the Sony device. I have managed to play music from my Nokia 6600 phone through the device successfully but am unable to play music from my laptop.The Sony device appears as a bluetooth headset in my list of bluetooth devices, but does not appear as a speaker on my laptop.

    And oh yes, my laptop is wireless and bluetooth enabled. :eek: :eek:

    Or Is there another wireless dongle or bluetooth item of some kind that i can plug my speakers into and will stream the music down from my laptop.
