Windows 7 Bluetooth audio services WM6.1&W7

[dlat]

Hi,

I would like to use W7 as stereo device for my WindowsMobile6.1 HTC - in the fact I would like to use W7
as bluetooth "handsfree" device for voice calling via WM6.1 (speakerd and microphone).

I can see on my WM6.1 paired computer (WinXP) with bluetooth "stereo device" and "handsfree" services.
I tried to pair in the same way W7. I can't enable (customize) audio features on W7 side to see this services in WM6.1.
In my WM6.1 I can see only one feature for paired W7 -> active sync.

Is this anyway possible to setup bluetooth audio services in this way between WM6.1&W7?

ps. I have no problem with WM6.1 using bluetooth handsfree set (jabra). Also I have no problem with bluetooth
communication between WM6.1&W7 via active sync. Everything working fine except I can't customize bluetooth services
for W7

Regards

Dlat

Setting up Windows 7 as a Bluetooth "hands-free" device for voice calling via a Windows Mobile 6.1 device can be a bit complex due to compatibility and feature limitations between older devices like Windows Mobile 6.1 and Windows 7. Here are some steps and considerations to help you with this setup:

Steps to Set Up Bluetooth Audio Services Between Windows 7 and Windows Mobile 6.1:​

1. Bluetooth Pairing:
   • Ensure that both your Windows 7 computer and Windows Mobile 6.1 device are discoverable and have Bluetooth enabled.
   • Pair your Windows 7 computer and Windows Mobile 6.1 device. You should see both the "stereo device" and "handsfree" services in addition to the "active sync" service on your Windows Mobile 6.1 device.
   []Configure Bluetooth Audio on Windows 7:
   • Open your Windows 7 computer's Bluetooth settings.
   • Check if there is an option to enable the "handsfree" service for the paired device.
   • If you can't find an option to enable this service, you may need to check if there are updated Bluetooth drivers available for your computer that support the "handsfree" profile.
   []Check Device Compatibility:
   • Verify that the Bluetooth profiles supported by your Windows 7 computer are compatible with the Bluetooth profiles used by your Windows Mobile 6.1 device for hands-free calling. Older devices may lack support for newer Bluetooth profiles.
   []Third-Party Software:
   • Consider using third-party Bluetooth management software that may provide more advanced configuration options for Bluetooth services like "handsfree" calling.
   []Testing:
   • After configuring the Bluetooth settings, test the voice calling feature from your Windows Mobile 6.1 device to see if the audio is routed through your Windows 7 computer successfully.

     Compatibility and Limitations:​

     • Windows 7 and Windows Mobile 6.1 are older operating systems, and the support for advanced Bluetooth services like "handsfree" calling may be limited.
     • Ensure that the Bluetooth hardware on both devices supports the required Bluetooth profiles for the "handsfree" service to work seamlessly.

     Additional Considerations:​

     • Drivers: Update Bluetooth drivers on your Windows 7 computer to ensure compatibility with the "handsfree" service.
     • Third-Party Tools: Explore third-party Bluetooth management tools that offer more customization options.
     Setting up Bluetooth audio services for voice calling between Windows 7 and Windows Mobile 6.1 may require some troubleshooting and experimentation due to the age of the devices involved. Feel free to try the steps outlined above and see if you can establish the desired Bluetooth audio setup.
