No Sound Bluetooth Stereo Headset  - MB Pro running Win XP SP3 via Bootcamp

I have a MacBook Pro Running Windows XP SP3 via Boot camp and I recently purchased a Rocketfish Bluetooth Stereo Headset. I am able to Pair the Headset to the MacBook Pro but I am unable to hear anything playing through them. I have checked to make sure that the volume is turned up. I think the problem might be driver related but, according to the Rocketfish support there isn't a specific driver for the headset. I'm not sure how to get the headset working. One other thing to note is that the headset works perfectly with my Iphone 4.
I guess my questions are...
How do I find an updated driver for the built in bluetooth on the MacBook Pro?
Does anyone know how to fix the problem that I am having?

So, finally I found what worked for me: Re: Full Bluetooth functionality in Bootcamp (audio, A2DP, FTP, OBEX) third variant, none of first 2 worked.. The only trouble was to find the correct link since on Acer site there is no download link. I've googled for "Bluetooth_Atheros_7.4.0.96_W7x64_A.zip" since this is the archive the guy is actually talking about. The 4th link on google was http://www.laptop-software.com/Acerdriversdownload.php?GDFiles/Driver/Bluetooth/ Bluetooth_Atheros_7.4.0.96_W7x64_A.zip?acerid=634556349384706773&Step1=Notebook& Step2=Aspire&Step3=Aspire%204830Z&OS=721&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6 and I chose to downlad from the first download link. Then the steps are:
1) unzip the folder
2) don't look for x64 or x32, there is only a one installer called "Bluetooth_Suite_win7"
3) install Bluetooth_Suite_win7
4) after it installs Windows starts downloading and recognizing drivers, I don't know how it actually works, but it also downloaded and recognized the unrecognized before drivers for my Bluetooth headset.
5) Restart Windows
6) Turn on headphones - they connect automatically, everything works and works great, the quality of sound is exactly the same as it was on Mac OS, nothing that would bother me.
****, it took me 2 full days... finally...

  • Hooking up a projector on macbook white running windows XP SP3 via bootcamp

    Dear friends:
    I have a question related on how to set a macbook (white) computer to recognize a projector while runnning windows XP SP3 (using bootcamp).
    I'm using a mini DVI to VGA adapter.
    The first I did was to plug the cable of the projector on the adapter, then I selected second monitor option in display properties (tab settings) and the best I got from there was to extend windows desktop onto the projector, but the thing is that I want to mirror both screens in order to show a full screen presentation on power point.
    I played with the screen resolutions of both monitors and I got no success, so I decided to restart the macbook. Initially on both screens from the projector and that of the macbook it appeared the logo of windows xp when booting, but then when the session was started the screen of the projector got black.
    I attempted by using F7 key but still got no success.
    Could you give me a suggestion on how to solve this problem??, I hope my english was clear so you can understand my problem.
    Best regards.
    Oscar

    Oh k thanks alot for your input. I think my only option is running XP through VM Fusion on my Time Capsule like Eric mentioned. I would have loved to exclude Mac OS X from running at all in the background while I'm on Windows since the programs I'm planning to run on Windows are Memory intensive. That's the whole reason I'm trying not to have windows installed on my macbook HD and have it run independently like it would on bootcamp. Thanks for all your help tho.
    If anyone has a different suggestion pls feel free to comment. Thanks

  • Bluetooth stereo headsets for E61i?

    As E61i does not support A2DP there are no Nokia bluetooth stereo headsets available. But are they totally incompatible or just working mono then? Asking because my notebook supports A2DP and I just need ONE headset for both...

    Hi,
    I think that the adapters are the same. You just need to check that both support stereo sound and look about the same.
    And of course, you can always go to a shop and test them. (Which is probably best in any case, since what might be the best for someone might not be best for everyone else.)

  • Can you use the mic of a bluetooth stereo headset on an iPod touch 2G w/ fi

    Hi guys.
    I have a Dell bluetooth stereo headset with mic incorporated.
    I want to use this to have conversations with my iPod touch, using voip software.
    Can this be done? I'm asking because when I pair the headset with my iPod, the new voice notes app says I don't have any mic.
    In case it can't be done, can I use my headset with an added mic, connected to the audio plug in in the touch? I referring to something like this:

  • MBA support bluetooth stereo headset?

    Has anyone tried and used a bluetooth stereo headset with the MBA? Does it even support it?

    I just read the technical support that you reply to my question and I thank you a lot!!!
    But I saw that my bluetooth stereo headset must be A2DP compatible to play and it is!!!!
    *Bluetooth Stereo Headset SBH650*
    *Technical Details*
    - Weight: 17 g
    - Size: 57 x 29 x 8,5 mm
    - Talk/Listen Music: up to 8,5 hours
    - Stand by: up to 170 hours
    - Bluetooth Version: 2.0
    - Headset-Jack: 3,5mm
    - *Compatible to all mobile phones that support Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (Bluetooth A2DP)*
    So I don't understand why there is a problem... I have tested my best's friend Stereo Bluetooth™ Headset HBH-DS980 (Sony Ericsson) that has too A2DP support and worked perfectly!!!
    Can this be because the Samsung Accessory is a brand new product and not supported from the iPhone firmware?...
    Thank you for your time!

  • I am running Win 8.1 on bootcamp and cannot get sound from internal speaker

    I am running Win 8.1 on bootcamp and cannot get sound from internal speaker

    Do you have any unknown devices in Device Manager with a yellow triangle and exclamation mark?
    Are the Bootcamp drivers installed?
    You should something similar to the following for Sound Devices, if the drivers are installed.

  • Bootcamp - Seems there is no Support for Windows 8.1 once it is loaded. Just got off the Microsoft Help line and they refused to help me because I was running Win 8.1 in Bootcamp. Where do I go for help?

    Bootcamp - Seems there is no Support from Microsoft  for Windows 8.1, once it is loaded.
    I Just got off the Microsoft Technical Help line (Australia ph132058) and they refused to help me because I am running Win 8.1 in Bootcamp.
    I have the latest Mac Book Pro Retina with a 1TB Solid State Hard drive running Win 8.1, beautiful machine, but its slower than my old MBP running windows 7 on a standard Drive.
    The niggiling problem is that it seems to hang up for seven or 8 seconds on menial tasks........ like generating a new Folder or Note etc. Otherwise it runs reasonably well but not blindingly fast....
    I wasn't aware Microsoft refused to help win 8.1 users on the Mac Platform........ shouldn't this Information be made more public...! Seems they are keen to drive potential Windows users away!!
    Any suggestions on where I should go for help on this (Windows/Bootcamp in General) would be much appreciated ? ........ don't mind paying a reasonable price if the service is good......
    I guess the wheel has turned and Microsoft are having a go at Apple again...?
    Many thanks ....... Martin V

    Thanks Turbostar.
    I was thinking along the same lines. I installed Win 8.0 Pro and upgraded to 8.1 ........ probably a bad move.
    I have bought a new 8.1 Licence but cant risk doing a complete reinstall until I have a back up machine ready. (My old MBP is getting a new hard drive) ......... so will give that a go in about a weeks time when the back up is in place. Cant risk having nothing!
    When you say "Clean Install" ..... do you mean everything ..... as in Reformat the Bootcamp sector and start from scratch.?
    I have a 2 TB LaCie Thunderbolt drive with my back up data on ..... is there a way to make the Reinstall process and large amount of Data transfer easy?
    The reinstall is something I need to read up on. I was hoping the solution might be some kind of Tune up on the SSHD.
    Good to hear you have a number of MBP's that are flying, I would be disappointed if the final quality wasnt a bit better.
    ..... do you have any tips on screen Res on the Retina ..... I am running Windows at 125% Zoom, but the Bluetooth, power, wireless, Date Icons etc are all still tiny ...... could really do with an alternative to the old "Advanced Appearance Settings"
    cheers ..... Martin V

  • Does the E52 work with Bluetooth stereo headset?

    The device details at forum.nokia.com don't list BluetoothStereoAudio as a property of the E52 (it does for 5630).
    Can anybody confirm this?

    if nokia specification says it has A2DP and AVRCP, then it is compliant with Bluetooth Stereo no doubt about it...  bluetooth stereo is now a very common capability in many N and E series devices...
    The specification does say that it has A2DP and AVRCP. The question here is, if it will work properly. I have experienced problems with a Motorola S9 and N73, S9 and N85, S9 and N95-8GB. The pairing will be perfect, but music breaks and call volume is very low compared to the same S9 when paired with a MotoROKR. In theory, all these phones support A2DP & AVRCP. But still there is an interoperability issue.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 problem with windows via bootcamp

    I have macbook pro early 2011  and my disk drive not working.
    I tried to install windows via bootcamp by an external disk drive but it failed to boot from the windows install disk.
    how can i install it?

    The Snow Leopard Windows drivers are on your Snow Leopard install disk. There is no download for Windows drivers and Snow Leopard.
    You should include your computer model and year in your posts. Answers may vary depending on your hardware.
    XP is not supported on newer Apple computers. You should install Windows 7.

  • Cannot get bluetooth mighty mouse to work with win xp sp3 bootcamp ver 2.1

    I have tried the most popular solution of establishing the mouse as a device, highlighting it in the devices menu, then clicking properties, then services, and once it is done searching checking the box for the "drivers for keyboard, mice, etc [HID]and clicking apply. get the message with the header bluetooth error access denied. this happened recently when I updated bootcamp before mouse worked flawlessly for month on xp. If anybody has any solutions it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Forgot to mention mighty mouse works fine in the mac os partition
    Message was edited by: clown428

    Try this solution. First click on the bluetooth icon at the bottom of the windows screen. Then click show bluetooth devices, then click add new devices and when the new device shows up double click on the device. Then a windows shows up at the top of this window it says general and other. Chose other. Another window shows up and check the small box. This small box searches for windows drivers just for this bluetooth device. When done it should pair and work fine.

  • Please help! t61p: bluetooth stereo headset sound coming from only one side?!!

    Just bought a X5i stereo bluetooth headset (A2DP protocol) from BlueAnt and paired it with T61P.  The laptop recognized it and it connected to it.  When i started playing audio though, the sound is coming only from one side of the headset.  Do I need to update the bluetooth drivers for lenovo??  What do i need to do?  Please help!

    Hi Ledbroke,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook and having sound issues when headphones attached.

    Hope this helps.
