Great Dongle, Bad Drivers.
First off, the dongle itself is well made and excellent value but the brand chipset driver CSR (Cambridge Silicon Radio) just don’t cut it.
It doesn’t matter if you install the CD first or put the dongle in your get the same result either way that Microsoft’s generic drivers work and these don’t.
Once the CD has installed the software and drivers your find on device properties it will say CSR Radio driver and on Universal Serial section another one is there. Funny though they install absolutely fine it’s when you add your device such as headphones.
When I added some TaoTronic and Sony MDR ones they found them fine to pair but once it tried to put the profiles together on found new hardware they just failed to install?
However, if you don’t use the CSR drivers and Microsoft’s own. They add the headphones fine. TaoTronics 4.2 headphones paired fine and so did the Sony MDR 3.0 ones also.
So for the price, it’s a good dongle but the drivers just don’t seem to work well as Microsoft’s own, which would make me wonder to do like the packet says plug and play and leave the CD drivers out!
Tested on Windows 7 64 Bit Edition.
