My computer is a laptop Dell Inspiron N5110 with built-in Intel Centrino Wireless Bluetooth 3.0 + High Speed Adapter. I want to use my new Bluetooth headphones Sennheiser MM 500-X as default audio output (Windows 7), but I can`t seem to find the way how, since yesterday.

I followed the instructions found somewhere to reinstall the Bluetooth adapter driver, but that only resulted in the inability to connect with headphones whatsoever. Ever since I did that, the headphones do not show up in Windows at all like they don't exist... Yesterday, I could at least have them connected. Now I can't even do that.

    Assuming you are using Windows, have you tried System Restore to a point before yesterday?

  • no I havent but thats not the point. I need the headset to be a default audio output. I`m trying Broadcomm BT software now.

  • Okay I handled it! In the "Bluetooth Settings" window there at "options" tab there I checked "Allow Bluetooth devices connecting with this computer". Afterwards, the headset was available at system audio mixer video!

  • yeah I knew that even before I had the headphones... They do not appear in that window. Hell, they don`t appear anywhere in the system. I have no problem connecting them to my phone, but to my laptop they are invisible.
