Bluetooth Headset and Audio Gateway
I have installed my Motorola H700 Bluetooth Headset using the Bluetooth
wizard. When I turn on the headset, it shows the device being recognised and then says it is connecting the headset to the "Audio Gateway" service on this computer. If I look in the Device Manager under sounds, I can not find the Bluetooth Headset. When I do a search on Audio Gateway I get no results. What is the Audio Gateway? and How do I get the headset to communicate with audio applications? Thank you. RickP |

Bluetooth Headset and Audio Gateway
negative, i don't recommend using audio gateway you have to set it up so the
computer connects to the headset not headset to computer, being someone like to party i also do use bluetooth as computer headset, i a matter of fact playing "we takin over" right now. for some reason audio gateway will work somethimes but not always, hands-free audio is best, and you will not see the name of your headset as the device name in the sound menu, you will see the name of the driver, the only way to send sound to bluetooth is to change the default device everytime, you connect or disconnect the bluetooth, other wise you will get no sound from speakers when bluetooth is on or off, hope this helps -- Jonathan Perreault Personnal Advice To You: #1: Do Not Undermine Windows's Work, Or It'll Undermine You As A User. #2: Torture Windows (Any) Now Before It Tortures You Best Comments From Users: No Matter The Problem Even With Linux, It's Microsoft's And Windows's Faults A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Bluetooth Headset and Audio Gateway
Jonathan,
I am not sure what the Audio Gateway is, as I did not set this up this way. When the Bluetooth discovery was completed, it seems to automatically come up with connecting to Audio Gateway. I can not find any information on the Vista help about what the heck the Audio Gateway is! I just want the headphone to look like any other headphone I plug into the USB and have it work the same way. I am really disappointed in Vista that many of these things simply don't work properly. If this was not ready to ship, then why did they release it. They gladly took my $380 but seem very flipant with a response of...it will be fixed sometime. My $380 was not broken when I gave it to them! Very disappointed.

Bluetooth Headset and Audio Gateway
if you paid 380 for the headset you prob been had i paid mine for 19.99 at
compusa. but anyway that's not why i'm here.i not sure what you are using for program to use bluetooth, but if you are using the windows driver for bluetooth, that is one reason why it's hard to set it up the way you want, did you do my last post and see if you had setup the default sound device so that it connected the bluetooth protocol - remember it will not have the name of your bluetooth headset here - and also it's not vista fault in this case, because audio gateway is bluetooth technology not vista, and i don't know if you realised from your last post i understood that you expected your bluetooth headset to work exactly like a usb headset? ...... wrong, they are different technology, although they are close in concept, so don't get irritated just yet, bluetooth although usefull, powerfull, easy to use, might sometimes need a few tweaks to run properly, that is because of driver fault, and yes it's a windows based driver, so in this case we can blame windows but it's not vista's fault, xp would probably give you the same problem, i had bluetooth longer than i had OS and i had little problems with every one of them, but after i got it tweaked it works fine, and i love my antenna. Just FYI: here's why i love my antenna, Instead of the usual distance of 30 feet range that it is usually works, I sacrificed speed for distance, i took usb1 instead of usb2 - which gave me speed but only 30 feet - my usb1 can give me 330 feet range to work, and contrary to some belief, any device connecting to my pc has it's range increased so to speak my dad though that if i was 329 feet away, my pc could connect to the phone which only has 30 feet range, but if my phone tryed to connect to pc, then it wouldn't work, because of the distance it had to make but that is incorrect, my theory is that the computer when notices that something is trying to talk to it within it's range then make up for the lack in the device with weaker range. but that has yet to be proven, but that's the only thing i could think of. -- Jonathan Perreault Personnal Advice To You: #1: Do Not Undermine Windows's Work, Or It'll Undermine You As A User. #2: Torture Windows (Any) Now Before It Tortures You Best Comments From Users: No Matter The Problem Even With Linux, It's Microsoft's And Windows's Faults A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Bluetooth Headset and Audio Gateway
Jonathan,
No, I paid $380 for Vista Ultimate. I don't think that it is MY fault that the Windows drivers don't connect the headset as an Audio device. Nothing shows up under Sounds except my Realtec speakers and microhone. There are no drivers or other devices listed, so I can't change the default. Worse than that, when I do a search for Audio Gateway in the help section of Vista, it comes back with NOTHING. The only thing I get is that the device is connecting to the Audio Gateway, when I turn on the headset. Also, sometimes when I go to the device properties (the headset) I don't see any services listed. Other times it shows Headset and Handsfree Telephony, but many times it shows nothing. How can you ry to set this up if there is no documentation? Do they expect all users to be Rocket Scientists?

"Nothing shows up under Sounds except my Realtec speakers and microhone. There
are no drivers or other devices listed, so I can't change the default." In Control Panel (Classic view) Sound, have you right clicked in both the Playback and Recording windows and checked both "Show Disconnected Devices" and "Show Disabled Devices"? I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS! |

Cal Bear '66,
Thanks for your reply. Yes both Show disconnected devices and Show Disabled Devices are checked. When I connect my Logitech USB headphones, they immediately show up and become the default device. But when I turn on the Bluetooth Headset, it pairs and then says it is being connecte4d to the Audio Gateway. After that, I can't find it anywhere. As a matter of fact, I can't even find the elusive "Audio Gateway"anywhere either! Any ideas would be great.
