Installing a Usb Dongle for Your Bluetooth Headphones by Jim Michael Cooper
Bluetooth devices are indeed very common nowadays among the teenagers and adults. This is due to the convenience that bluetooth gives the people. Most modern cell phones and computers have bluetooth connectivity at present. With the use of bluetooth, information and files can be transferred without the use of wires. You can even listen to music through your bluetooth headphones–and without wires!
For your bluetooth headphones to work, both the headphone and the other device must connect via a wireless network. This network will be easy to set up if both devices are bluetooth-capable. However, if your computer does not have bluetooth support, you will need to install a bluetooth USB adapter or dongle, which is a wireless device that enables bluetooth connectivity. You can install one within a few minutes, depending on the speed rate of your computer.
The first step is to install the software drivers for your adapter. Your bluetooth dongle usually comes with a driver installation CD. If not, your operating system may already have support for your dongle model and brand. Insert the driver disc into the optical drive to set the driver installation process in motion.
You are now ready to install the new software, click install to continue the installation process. Follow the onscreen prompts. As the process begins, you should wait until the files have been copied to the computer already. Your computer will alert you when the installation of the driver is done.
As soon as the files have already been copied, you can now plug the bluetooth adapter into a USB port of your computer. The computer is then able to recognize the new hardware when it is plugged in. You are then free to access the bluetooth features available on your computer.
The process does not end there. You still need to set up your bluetooth network environment. To continue, press the next button and follow the onscreen instructions. You will be asked to provide a computer name and computer type. Then, your computer will configure the bluetooth service and later allow you to set which services should be run. At this point, you might want to add your bluetooth headset as a bluetooth device in your network. Once you’re done with the whole process, your bluetooth headphones should be ready for use together with your bluetooth adapter.
You can set up and control the bluetooth dongle through “My Bluetooth Places”. This allows you to search for other devices or even just to explore your files and some other user’s files.
To be able to enjoy sound from your bluetooth headphones, your computer must have bluetooth support. If such support is not built in, you need to install a USB dongle or adapter by following the easy steps described in this article.
