I have a Logitech Mini Boombox which is cool. Installation previously was simply a case of pairing it up and letting it install the relevant services.

However, I've reinstalled my Win7 Pro laptop (which worked fine before) and now it'll only play music using the crappy phone headset profile and not the decent one (A2DP or something is it?). I can't find any way to configure this.

I know it was named after a pirate (or was it a Danish king?) That's probably not much help to you though.

This isn't a bluetooth problem - that's just the protocol which is used to communicate. This is a hardware/software/driver problem.

Windows 7 does not come with Bluetooth audio (a2dp) support. You will have to contact the manufacturer of your computer, or the Bluetooth adapter that is built in to your computer to obtain a proper a2dp driver.

The symbol is apparently based on a rune used buy a Danish King.

Harald Garmsson, aka Blaatand or Bluetooth, was a Danish Viking king who claimed to be a christian, which I don't understand at all. Sorry.

the symbol is a binding of the runes hagal (H)

and bjarken (B)

which are the initials of Haarald Bluetooth. So, unless he was inclined to spraypainting his initials on the doors of other people's lockups, it's unlikely he used the symbol. Although he might have added the more complex symbology for "was here"

I didn't know that, and you're right. Discussion here about a workaround (use at own risk, BT stacks are messy beasts).

It used to work when the machine was a stripped down factory build, so when I re-installed all the custom stuff I've obviously left something out. Although I did install the BT stack...
