Using bluetooth with a webcam

    Anybody here any experience of this? I know it can be done with skype, but on googling it, I can't find any guide on how to do it.

    I have a Creative Live cam and a Plantronics headpiece and can't get them going. I've paired the dongle and the headpiece, but can't get any further than that, despite changing the input/output devices, as recommended by the skype guide.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    The first thing I would do is forget about Skype.

    Get the headset working outside of Skype, make sure you can record your voice (use Sound Recorder - Start->Programs->Accesories->Entertainment). Then make sure you can hear something in the headset (use Media Player to play an Mp3 or something). You can configure Media Player to send the output to your headset.

    Then, and only then, when you have confirmed both are working, try them with Skype.

    Still can't get this working. I have it paired and it is connected. I've authorised the AV headpiece to in My Bluetooth Services, but when I set it as the default speaker and microphone I can't get anything.

    I know it is working, because I can hear a slight hiss in the headpiece once it's connected, so it must be something small.

    Anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

    The headpiece is a Plantronics 340, it's a bluesoleil dongle and I'm using Vista. Bluesoleil doesn't have Vista-compatible drivers, but I found a crack on the net, and it seems to be working fine.
