Bluetooth Issues

[Lovelife090994]

Does anyone know how to connect Bluetooth headphones to a Windows7 Dell Inspiron and it actually connects?

And while we're at all... Does anyone here use Bluetooth capable products ?

No idea, but I use bluetooth speakers sometimes. I just turn the bluetooth on on my phone and then there's usually a connector button that you press so the signal goes out? I'm not sure about headphones.

Which Dell Inspiron model do you have? If yes, do you know if has a Bluetooth receiver feature? Is it enabled?

I use Bluetooth headsets when I'm on the go!

I have a Bluetooth capable Inspiron 15R N5110, Early 2011. MY headphones connect to my iPod and phone perfectly, but not to my computer. My computer paired and recognized it, but it won't connect or let the service for music be used. It's like it paired but it won't connect.

Hi there Christopher,

Can I ask what Operating System you're running with?
I did a little bit of browsing earlier and came across the following, which may be of help to you: (from http://www.sevenforums.com/sound-audio/128671-bluetooth-headset-pairs-but-wont-connect-not-avail-playback-devic.html)

Hey all,

I stumbled upon this post and I didn't want to re-install because I was having the same problem. After a few hours of trying to figure this out; re-installed Bluetooth drives etc... I left the problem for a bit and came back to it and figured out a fix.

HERE IS THE FIX:

Remove the device from your PC (Devices and Printers) > click on Add a Device and set your bluetooth to pairing mode > when your device shows up in the list DO NOT HIT NEXT just yet > Instead right click and go to Properties and select ALL the options for the services and after it install everything it will work for you. Also, please don't forget to change your default sound device in Control Panel and Sound.

Hope this helps.
