Bluetooth speaker not properly detected in X220.
Bluetooth speaker not properly detected in X220.
Hello I have X220 for a year now and last week I bought a Bose SoundLink bluetooth speaker and I'm trying to connect it to my laptop via bluetooth. But my problem is the laptop doesn't recognize the Bose SoundLink as a speaker but "other device" is there a way to solve this? I updated the drivers but still no luck making it to work.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Re: Bluetooth speaker not properly detected in X220.
Trying to get any xx30 or earlier machine to connect to anything bluetooth with the internal bluetooth chip is hopeless. Just get a little bluetooth dongle and use that.

You can try what I did and dowload the older Bluetooth stack for Windows from Toshiba.
The required codec for stereo audio bluetooth is not native to Windows 7.

Re: Bluetooth speaker not properly detected in X220.
Have you installed the Bluetooth drivers (the 100MB+ one)?
Daily driver: X220 4291-C91 i7-2620M
Backup: X601 Core 2 Duo T8100
Toy: X60F Core Solo U1300
On loan: X220 4291-P79 i5-2520M
In pieces: two retired but working X61Ts
RIP: 760XD 9546-U9E; X61 7676-A24; and a BOE-Hydis HV121P01-100 in failed SXGA+ mod

Re: Bluetooth speaker not properly detected in X220.
Did you solve it? Had a similar problem this is how I solve mine.
Hope it helps.
- Go to: Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers.
- Right click your device and click "Properties".
- Then click the "Hardware" tab, You'll see a list of bluetooth drivers installed.
- Check all those drivers and remove the bluetooth device that might interfere on other. Then reconnect, this is how I solved when I'm having trouble connecting my bluetooth speaker jbl and aomais speaker.
- Or try to remove all the bluetooth drivers and allow windows to find it.
Hope it helps.
