How long that takes depends on the number and way it is charged. If you’ve had it for a while it could simply be that the they are worn out? If it is relatively new, I would suggest calling Dell.

That sounds strange. Maybe there is something else going on. Have you tried to remove the BlueTooth device, then set the pairing up again? That might be the next step.

No go. If i try to play something when it’s set as default, I can hear a sound like it’s trying to play but no audio actually comes out…it’s like the electronic white noise changes just a tad. This happens with two headsets that worked before and still work fine with my cell phone. Arg.

I can give you what I believe is correct steps; however, please be patient if I miss something.
1. Open Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound
2. Click on Manage audio devices
3. Connect the BlueTooth devices.
4. On the ‘Playback’ tab, right click on the BlueTooth device and choose “Set as Default Device”
5. Verify that you can now hear audio through the BlueTooth device.
6. Disconnect the BlueTooth device.
7. If the correct audio playback is not selected (in the mange audio devices box), right click on it and choose “Set as Default Device.”
8. Verify that sound now comes out of the selected device.
9. Reconnect your BlueTooth device.

At this point the default should automatically switch back to the BlueTooth device.

Good luck!

Mic works fine. I can’t get to the djkaty link above…google has no cache nor does archive.org. I tried to gather from the text above that i need to mess with my default device but i haven’t stumbled on the correct set of steps. Anyone remember them?

i tried doing everything to connect the dell bluetooth headset, again and again, but nothing seemed to work.
fortunately, i read it here, before calling the dell tech support, they would have made me re-intsall drivers and everything that is not required, and still wouldn’t have been able to solve the problem.

thanks again.

It sure seems like Bluetooth has need a lot of work all around. It also seems like there aren’t any companies willing to put forth the effort for it. Maybe its use isn’t widespread enough yet to make vendors give it the resources it needs. :(
