Am I wrong? Would this explain why I am not able to figure out how to make my Nokia "handsfree" headset work with my PC to do VoIp ? Thanks, Francois
Posts: n/a Yes it works! I got it working. I had just forgotten to hold down the connect button of myheadset to activate the connection with my PC. My headset is the Nokia HDW-3. The only drawback is that the microphone sound is kind of weak even if i try to max it out through the Windows "volume control" pannel. FYI: You may need to define the bluetooth headset as your main audio device. For that matter, go in the config pannel---> "sound and multimedia" . Select the "audio" tab of "sound and multimedia properties" choose the "Bluetooth audio" as your prefered "sound play back" device.

There's two distinct BT profiles in use: The basic HS 'headset' profile, and the more feature rich HFR 'handsfree' profile. Some devices may only support the HFR 'handsfree' profile, and so may have problems with the Widcomm BT stack and drivers, as this only supports the HS 'headset' profile. Most phones support both. But there are some which don't however, and only support the basic HS 'headset' profile. http://www.palowireless.com/infotoot...l/profiles.asp > Would this explain why I am not able to figure out how to make my Nokia > "handsfree" headset work with my PC to do VoIp ? I see you got it working in the follow-up post. -- Michael Turner Email (ROT13) zvxr.gheare1963@grfpb.arg
