I've tried plugging that in to my PC but it doesn't even show up saying I inserted anything. I also just have a basic Bluetooth Dongle.

Twinreaper Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Well I can only assume that by PC you mean you tried getting it to work with a desktop. If that is the case, you need a bluetooth receiver or bluetooth card to enable that functionality with e desktop. No wireless card today, that i know of has bluetooth bundled with it. But on the other hand, most laptops DO have bluetooth functionality bundled with it. I suggest you try to test the setup with a freind or family members laptop to ensure the product does indeed work, before you go out and buy an actual bluetooth adapter. I did however notice that the product does have a nice 35mm jack. You could connect that to the desktop speakers, and pump the sound thru it that way. This way you cut out the middleman altogether.

I do mean desktop but I have a dongle for it to use the bluetooth and it will connect to all my phones and tablets but not the speakers. Are there any drivers?

Twinreaper Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 The dongle was one of the links right? If so, that is your problem. the dongle is just a middleman. it relays the signal from bluetooth capable - bluetooth capable devices. Without a cord or physical connection to the desktop, there is no way for the dongle or any other device to connect or talk to bluetooth devices. That is why it works on a tablet and pohone...both have bluetooth built in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't post the dongle, sorry. http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Bluetooth-Ver-2-0-Dongle-Wireless-Adapter-for-Blue-Tooth-Accessories-Devices-/390505441958?pt=US_USB_Bluetooth_Adapters_Dongles&hash=item5aebf02aa6 Not the exact one but similar.

Twinreaper Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Ok then yes, you need the drivers. I am assuming they didn't come with it so you will need to do this.... 1. Go into "Device Manager" and try to locate the attached hardware. This might have a "?" next to it, or not at all, forcing you to locate it by going thru all connected ports on the USB controller. 2. Once you find the thing, go into it's properties view, and select to update the driver. 3. Choose the method of selecting a driver spcifically from a list the PC has on file. I forget exactly what steps and it depends on your OS. Either way, you want to select the driver manually. 4. Once you get to the driver list, you are looking for 'Microsoft Common Control for Windows Class" This driver is used by the 360 wireless receiver as the one that comes with the product doesn't work. Chances are, since the dongle is basically a receiver, that this driver will work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
