    ISO Skype Bluetooth plugin for built-in BT laptops

    I have a laptop with built-in Bluetooth and when I first installed Skype, I got an alert about a plugin or some other Bluetooth add-in that needed to be installed. I had never seen it in my non-Bluetooth computer.

    The thing is that, it seems to me, the plug-in recognizes and selects the audio automatically. I mean, Skype would immediately switch the audio to Bluetooth as soon as the BT headset is turned on, and then would go back to the default device (non-BT) as soon as it's switched off.

    But I did a system recovery and now Skype isn't switching the audio mode automatically. It recognizes the Bluetooth headset if I select it manually, but I liked it better before.

    Does anybody know what kind of plug-in that is? I remember it started with BT... Or better yet tell me where to download it or send it to me by email. It should be in the Skype's plugins folder (I think). :confused: Thanks
