| Windows 7 32-bit Version 6.1 Build 7601 | |
| IBM ThinkPad T61p from lenovo | |
| BT audio device drivers (combination) that I found to be working fine: | |
| * Bluetooth Hands-free Audio | |
| from Broadcom Corp. 9/28/2009 6.2.1.800 | |
| * Bluetooth Audio | |
| from Intel Corporation 5/16/2018 20.60.0.4 | |
| * Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator and ThinkPad Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate | |
| from Microsoft 6/21/2006 6.1.7601.24511 | |
| Only these services provided by the BT headset need to be activated | |
| * Audio Sink | |
| * Headset | |
| * Remotely Controllable Device | |
| Activating several other services might lead to warnings in Device Manager of drivers not being found for the associated devices getting added. | |
| Audio playback device | |
| * Bluetooth Hands-free Audio | |
| Despite being "hands-free", the headset receives audio in high quality. | |
| ---- | |
| These were the steps that I followed to get the headset to pair and play. The order might be neither significant nor valid for everyone. | |
| * Remove all MS BT devices | |
| * Install the Intel driver | |
| * Install the Broadcom driver | |
| * Restart the OS | |
| * Add a new headset device (via BT tray app) for the headset in pairing mode | |
| * Activate (in device properties) only the above 3 services and deactivate others | |
| * Cancel any automatic attempts that look for driver updates from Internet. The Intel and Broadcom driver are to be used. | |
| * After driver installation has done and stopped, restart the OS | |
| * Now Device Manager should show the above driver combination | |
| * Double click at the headset device to open the Connect Dialog. The process image behind the dialog should be "BTWUIExt.exe" from Broadcom. | |
| * Now attempt to pair the headset in the Connect Dialog that got opened | |
| * With some luck, now the headset should be able to pair and receive audio in high quality | |
| * If the headset doesn't pair, receive or receive audio in low quality, repeat the above steps until all work fine. | |
| Good luck! |
