Hi everyone,
I have a bit unusual problem with my Bluetooth Devices. I�m using
*Bluetooth mouse* and sometime *Bluetooth headset* (for skype).
Unfortunately these two Bluetooth Devices can�t work at the same time.

If I�m talking on the skype using my bluetooth headset my mouse stops
working for certain period of time then starts working again and so on
and on. (Couple of seconds working, couple of seconds not)
I downloaded last update for my built in bluetoot adapter but still
experience the same problem.
Is it possible at all to use two bluetooth devices at the same time
as when using headset mouse will stop and never vice verse ?
Thanks in advance

Jovana

Hi Jovana,

This is a tricky questions. The problem with bluetooth is that it all
depends on what host controller you have (the bluetooth radio device
connected to your PC) - and what driver 'stack' you have installed for your
device. Microsoft has a driver stack for most chipsets, however when you
install a bluetooth radio on your PC, often the CDROM that came with the
device will install a 3rd party stack. It is the quality of this stack that
will often affect your experience.

What is even more annoying, is that depending on what chipset your PC
bluetooth radio has will determine what driver you should load for each
bluetooth device (mouse, headset). I am not aware of any other type of
device which has such a odd setup.

So if your bluetooth radio is built into your PC (or came with your PC) -
you should contact your PC manufacturer. If you purchased your bluetooth
radio aftermarket, I don't really have any advice. Someone else on the
forum might be able to help. :-(
