Adding Bluetooth audio support

[Hum]

Apparently this older Asus M4A78 Plus motherboard does not have a bluetooth module to use Bluetooth audio.

 

Is this all that is needed to support Bluetooth audio:

Yes, I read thru the mobo manual.

 

No, no Bluetooth setting shows up in the Control Panel.

 

Yes, bluetooth is turned on in Services.msc.

 

No, this is not about upgrading a PC, other than adding Bluetooth audio.

 

Thanks for any help.

Resolved:

 

The answer is, Yes.

 

I actually decided on this dongle:

It seems to have high reviews.

 

One snag, Windows XP did not install the correct Bluetooth items.

 

And for some reason, the included mini-CD wasn't read by the CD player.

 

So I copied the files over from my laptop to an SD card, then transfered the Bluetooth folder to the desktop.

 

After a couple of minutes the right Bluetooth items popped up, and I could now see and connect to my much newer headphones.

 

Rock on .... :happy:
