"This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)"

Basically, my ASUS A53E (Win7 64-bit) laptop cannot detect Bluetooth devices. I want to play my audio through my Samsung soundbar, which my Android phone and iPad can do just fine.

1) I click Control Panel.

2) Hardware and Sound

3) Device and Printers

4) Bluetooth Devices

5) I click Add a Device.

6) Windows cannot detect any devices, and my soundbar is indeed on and set to Bluetooth. It's playing right now with my Android phone.

ASUS' support site and other sites don't seem to have a direct fix, even after installing some updated drivers some have indicated may need updating (i.e. - Realtek Audio). I also followed steps to edit the registry from http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/code-31-error.htm - but to no avail.

Any idea what I can do? I just got this new in May this year and it should play nice with Bluetooth, ya know!? ;-)

You said "this device" has a code 31, but you didn't actually say what device that was...

BT should work as advertised. Press add device, let it find it, add, done.

If that doesn't happen, either the target device isn't in discovery mode (unlikely), or your BT adaptor is having an issue. Possibly bad drivers (relating to the Code 31 above), or it's been disabled for some reason. (FN+Fkey usually with wifi)

A53E-TS51 is the exact model of this ASUS laptop.

thats looks like a wifi adapater, not a bluetooh adapter. What wireless care are you using, are you sure it supports bluetooth? You can pick up a cheap 5-10 dollar usb bluetooth and use that instead

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
