Motorola S9 bluetooth headset A2DP connection problems

I am trying to get this to work and Dell says that the problem is with Vista.
Motorola does not have any clear support. Can anyone help get this to work?

Can't these things just work.

It might help if you were to tell us what is and is not working, what error
messages (if any) you are seeing, and so on.

Sorry, new to this, the Motorola S9 is recognized as a bluetooth headset for
use with cell phones. It works fine with my cell phone. My phone detects
that it is out there.
My laptop does not detect that it exisits and Dell tech support said that it
is a problem with Vista not supporting A2DP, Advanced Audio Distribution
Profile. Sony Vaio references that it supports bluetooth A2DP devices. When
I ask my laptop to look for a bluetooth device it does not find it.
Dell tech support logged on to my PC and tried and said finally that Vista
Home Premium was not supporting this technology. This seems hard to believe.
I can't find any info in Microsoft tech support so I am here. I want a safe
solution for this lack of compatability with Vista.

Okay, so clearly the headset does work. Does Motorola have Vista drivers
for it? If not, then it's probably not going to work under Vista.

I am experiencing difficulties with the S9 connection to my Nokia 6126.
The phone works fine, but the music only comes across mono. what I
understand from the motorola website is that the phone needs to pair
with the phone/headset and music/headset as two separate items. However,
the phone does not have a way of identifying the music headset as a
separate item. Any ideas on this?

Frankly, no. This sounds like a problem for Motorola support, not Vista
support.

This is definitely a Vista issue... the Microsoft bluetooth stack does
not support the A2DP profile... I'm having massive problems with
this, and although I've increased the number of support profiles by
installing the WIDCOMM stack, cannot get A2DP to work in Vista...

While I don't have Windows Vista, I do have the Motorola S9 and a Del
Latitude D810 laptop and I did manage to get the Bluetooth build int
the laptop to recognize and use the Headset....all except th
microphone. Right now I have gotten the headset to work as headphones
but can not use them for voice yet. I got this far by reinstallin
the Bluetooth stack from Dell's webpage and also installing their patch
At first it didn't recognize my device until I ran the diagnostics i
their utility that was installed. Afterwards it recognized just fin
(except for the mic that is)

Hello all,

I have a similar problem and the solution might be general to everyone

My configuration: Lenovo Thinkpad T60 with build-in BT radio, VIST
Business 32-bit and a Motorola BT H9 telephone headset (I want to use i
with Skype).

Device Manager | Bluetooth Radios shows 2 entries,
1) Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator driver version 6.0.6001.18000 and
2) Thinkpad Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate driver versio
5.1.2535.0.

On my T60 configuration and I do not know for other configurations
there are several layers that are controlling BT communication unde
VISTA.
1) the lowest level are the radio drivers and control software. Whethe
the radio is build-in or connected as a USB BT radio, these drivers an
control software need to come from the manufacturer of the PC or the B
USB device. (typically WIDCOMM, THOSIBA or BLUESOLEIL but there ar
several others)
2) the higher level is the interface between the drivers and VISTA, th
Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator.

I installed all the latest Lenovo BT drivers (actuall
Broadcom/Widcomm) and I can get the PC and the H9 to pair.
ControlPanel | BT Devices | Devices - Shows that they are connected.
Control Panel | BT Devices | Devices | Motorola H9 properties - Th
services for the H9 are checked for both handsfree telephony an
headset.
Control Panel | BT Devices | Audio Moto H9 - Shows it is connected
However, VISTA does not recognize that there is a new sound devic
connected.

I believe that ControlPanel | BT devices which is the Broadcom/Widcom
driver and control panel are working well, devices are connected an
paired.
But the Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator, the interface between th
WIDCOMM driver and VISTA might be the issue and might not be supportin
these BT services. Therefore VISTA does not recognize the H9 device as
valid sound device.
So the H9 does not show up in any application as a sound device tha
can be selected. (is this assumption correct?)

Does anyone know how to get around this?

Greetings
Ton

Note: I also tried a generic brand BT headset, OMB055+, and I can ge
it connected and paired like the Moto H9 but the same problem. No
recognized by VISTA
