Sound does not come from the Bluetooth headphone
Symptom: Sound does not come from the Bluetooth headset/headphone but comes from the local speaker
even though the headset/headphone is connected using Headset prole or AV prole.
Action: Do the following:
1. Exit the application that uses the sound device (for example, Windows Media Player).
2. Open the Control Panel by clicking Start Control Panel.
3. Click Hardware and Sound Sound .
4. Select the Playback tab.
5. If you are using Headset prole, select Bluetooth Hands-free Audio and click the Set Default button. If
you are using AV prole, select Stereo Audio and click the Set Default button.
6. Click OK to close the Sound window.
PIM items sent from the Windows 7 operating system cannot be received correctly
Symptom: Personal Information Manager (PIM) items sent from the Windows 7 operating system cannot be
received correctly into the address book of any other Bluetooth-enabled device.
Action: The Windows 7 operating system sends PIM items in XML format, but most Bluetooth-enabled
devices handle PIM items in vCard format. If another Bluetooth-enabled device can receive a le through
Bluetooth, a PIM item sent from the Windows 7 operating system system might be saved as a le with
the extension contact.
