Murse Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 if googling didnt work i would suggest going to microcenter and picking one up. http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0354894 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 it was actually amazon..overnight parts from japan. ps solutions wanted.. life lessons need not apply what brand does it LOOK like? Try one of thier drivers? (ie knockoff nokia or whoever makes bluetooth) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Post pictures of the device and perhaps i can halp you out. Any markings need to be visable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturg1647545502 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 nope, no markings to speak of this is the device. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VWU79I/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 one customer review stated that he used toshiba bluetooth stack, but even that isnt recognizing that i have the dongle plugged in.

Sturg1647545502 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 when searching for a driver windows refers me to this webiste to manually make a download... http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/update.php i go there and download the program and it still does not recognize that the dongle is plugged in. It just keep "searching" for it. I would say that its a bunk piece of hardware but the Bluesoliel v8 trial did actually work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiDe84 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Someone on amazon said this worked. Wouldn't hurt to give it a try. Toshiba Drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Did you reboot while the dongle is plugged in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturg1647545502 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 im making head way now. I re downloaded the toshiba bluetooth stack and it seems to be recognizing the dongle, but im not connecting with my bluetooth stereo.

Sturg1647545502 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 so here is the weirdest thing...my dongle will allow my computer to recognise my bluetooth devise (in this case its a d100 creative speaker). It will temporarily sink but isnt able to "set up audio device". its almost like the program cant download the proper files so it can fully sink? the toshiba stack drivers are from 2010 (probably before my devise hit the market)....

I just noticed something "Supported profiles : networking, Dial-up, Fax, LAN access , and Headset." It looks like that speaker requires A2DP and that adapter does not look like it has that built in. With the bluesoleil software did the speaker work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturg1647545502 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 im wondering why the broadcom update isnt able to recognize the dongle. I mean if thats what is suppose to work... http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/update.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiDe84 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 correct, bluesoleil trial did work Well I am running out of ideas. You could try checking the Device Manager and checking the properties of the bluetooth adapter to see who the manufacture is and trying drivers from them. I did a Google search and found a few videos for cracks. I don't know how legit these are so if there are any bad things embedded then don't get mad at me. Here is one example I found. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=675XV97Uacc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murse Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 sorry you couldnt get it working. this is one of the main reasons i justify spending more on a brand item then an off brand (on most things that is). you just never know.
