Inspiron 6400 bluetooth problem

by tjemartin - 9/25/09 11:30 PM

Hello all

I have an inspiron 6400 laptop (with a Dell 355 internal bluetooth card) and I cant seem to get my Plantronics Pulsar 590a bluetooth headset to work right with it. I am running windows xp sp3. I have successfully paired the headset to the laptop and it is set up with 2 profiles (handsfree audio "skype mode" and stereo audio).When I turn on headset it automatically goes into "handsfree mode".

Now my problem is when I want to listen to MP3's via WMP or Winamp, I right click on the bluetooth icon in the taskbar, select "Quick Connect", "Stereo Audio", then "590Plantronics", but the audio is still goes through my laptops speakers.

I manually have to go into XP's audio properties and change the sound playback from "Sigmatel Audio" to "Bluetooth Stereo Audio"

Is there a way to set this up where as soon as I select "Stereo Audio" from the Bluetooth icon/menu in the taskbar, the XP audio properties will automatically change the sound playback from the sound card to the bluetooth stereo audio??

Any help is appreciated
