Bluetooth headset & audio in Windows

[Michael Taylor]

I've paired a bluetooth headset (normally used for a mobile phone) with my
WinXP Pro system (with SP2 installed). The headset is a Sony Ericsson
HBH-60. I'd like to use for audio conferencing using Windows and MSN
Messenger. Although it's paired, it shows no services available. Is it
possible to configure it as a speaker and microphone source in the audio
applet of the control panel?

Thanks
Mike

Hello Michael,
Not with the Bluetooth that ships with Windows XP SP2. You will need to
find another Bluetooth stack that supports the audio service.

I have the same problem. I understand that it is because
XP doesn't yet support the bluetooth handsfree profile.
Does anybody know when support for this might become
available??
