T42p w/Vista Logitech Freepulse BT Headphones - No Audio

#1 Post by PeteS457 » Wed Apr 02, 2008 8:08 pm

Can I get some guidance please? I have a T42p with Vista Ultimate (from Microsoft) and all Vista updates. I have downloaded all the devices drivers from Lenovo System Update. (On the Lenovo support site, it says that Bluetooth drivers are included with Vista, so I saw nothing to download specific to Bluetooth.) I recently bought a pair of Logitech Freepulse Bluetooth headphones. On my T42p from Control Panel/Bluetooth, I tell it to discover the Freepulse headphones and put the Freepulse headphones in discoverable mode. Everything seems to go great. Vista reports that it finds the headphones, it pairs with the headphones (visual indicators on the headphones confirm this), and then it downloads a driver from Windows Update for Bluetooth Peripheral Device, which upon download changes to Logitech Freepulse and installs. The Audio Output device is automatically changed to Bluetooth Renderer and everything seems perfect. HOWEVER, NO AUDIO. Everything as indicated in Vista and indicators on the headphones say this should be working. I can only assume that this download did not contain an A2DP profile compatible with the Freepulse (which supports A2DP).

The headphones come with a Logitech Bluetooth receiver that plugs into the headphone jack and this works fine. But I do not want to have to use that everytime I use the headphones. (Two thing to carry around, two things to charge, not to mention I have a great notebook with Bluetooth embedded already.)

Does anyone have any advice for me? Has anyone gotten this to work? I have seen that people have used the Toshiba stack, some people have installed Widcomm. Is ther something else I have to install? Something I'm overlooking?

Thanks in advance for any help.
