I have an Intel 7260 DTX running on my Windows 7 Desktop. I use it pretty much exclusively for Bluetooth stereo headphones. I tried multiple USB BT adapters before this, and the lag and inconsistent performance just drove me bats. This is better, but I still struggle with some things. I use my headphones a ton, so all this is rather important to me. What I've noticed are problems with the 7260 are that the Stereo headphone connection a lot of times doesn't complete the first time. It just can't connect or throws an error. Yes, latest drivers, all Windows updates, and I've even seen the same thing when I install a fresh copy of Windows. So there is something going on here. I've found it helps when I disable the BT microphone aspect of the driver, disable wireless on the 7260, and uncheck the box that allows Windows to put the device to sleep. But the behavior is still inconsistent. And another thing is that when I have some interference, the signal doesn't "hop" to another channel - it just dies all together. So I'm hoping that somebody will be able to assist. Is there any way to debug the negotiation or pairing process every time I turn my headphones on? Otherwise, I have zero idea what is happening.
And yes, I've tried multiple different pairs/brands of BT headphones. I am using Bose AE2W now. The headphones pair pretty much flawlessly every time with Android phones - but 7260 plus windows, not so much.
Somebody at some level must be able to explain what is happening? Please help however you can. Thanks very much.
