Vista 32 and Bluetooth Headset

I'm trying to make a stereo bluetooth headset work on my HP Vista32 Desktop.

I can pair it, then connect it, the device changes from speakers to the headset in my "Playback devices" window, but I get no audio through the headset. After about a minute, the playback devices changes back to my speakers
and the headset shuts off.

I've checked all of the drivers in Device Mgr...all are installed and working properly. I've also done
attempted updates on all of the involved drivers. I get messages saying the drivers are up to date in all cases.

It appears that the drivers (Blue radio & enumerator, headset in sound, video and game controllers) are installed
correctly, but the audio channel is not cut through.

Has anyone had in experience in this problem???

I use a small program called keep alive to stop my headset turning off during breaks as when it restarts I was loosing a couple of seconds sound
Here is some info on it

Thank you for your feedback. I checked into "Keep Alive" and downloaded it....didn't seem to have any
effect.

I think my problem is not one of keeping the connection alive, more of never having it at all. The PC(bluetooth radio)
and the headset don't seem to be communicating. I'm sure that the bluetooth connection normally involves some
sort of handshake.

Is a Com (serial) Port normally involved in a bluetooth connection? I notice that one assigned to
the bluetooth enumerator automatically? In my case, it is a very high number (18).

Thanks again for the expertise.

i now know more about my problem..........when my computer has been asleep, and i wake
it up and attempt to connect my bluetooth headset is when this happens. If i toggle my'
bluetooth dongle, ie remove it from the usb slot and return it, then i can connect????
I've checked everywhere and no resolution???? Should "keep alive" cure this??
