Question

how add bluetooth audio to list under sound audio devices

Mar 19, 2012 11:16PM PDT

I am using Windowx XP, I am not able to use my bluetooth headphones because I do not have the option of bluetooth audio under the default options. In fact it does not list bluetooth audio anywhere under the sound audio devices heading. Any advice will be helpful. thanks

No make, model or details such as XP SP3 (service pack matters here) and what Bluetooth STACK is being used.

HOWEVER I do find google to help if I add the word SKYPE to my search. Such as "How to add Bluetooth Audio on Windows XP SP3 for Skype?"

But I can't offer more since no details are here.
