I asked the following question in a Windows XP newsgroup at
news.microsoft.com. As I didn't get any reply yet maybe someone can help
here?
I'm using a Bluetooth headset with my Windows XP laptop (mainly for
listening to music and talking on Skype). While everything basically works
it requires too many steps to activate the headset. Establi****ng the
connection between the laptop and the headset is no problem actually.
However when the headset is switched on Windows XP still uses the built-in
loudspeakers. I have to restart each and every application (Windows media
player, Skype, browsers when I watch videos online etc.) - otherwise the
applications don't understand that they should use the Bluetooth headset
now and not the built-in loudspeakers anymore. I wonder if there is
anything I can do to activate my Bluetooth headset more easily. Is there a
configuration setting in Windows XP I could change? Is there any utility
on the net which might help here?
