I didn't, but I indeed have SP2  what is ment with audio profiles? doesn't a headset have just a service "headset" and if I connect to that, and choose "bluetooth audio" as default sounddevice, won't it just work? thx Arne

Not all PC BT devices (external or internal) support connecting to all external BT devices. The least amount are BT headsets. SP2 doesn't support it. You have to buy a PC BT dongle that supports it like TDK or Belkin and use their drivers. Typical use would be to use a BT headset==>BT PC==>VOIP Softphone.

My Bluetooth places will have an "audio" profile but it won't work unless the hardware/drivers support it.
