10.5: Use stereo Bluetooth devices in 10.5
I'm trying to get my Plantronics Pulsar 590a BT headset/headphone working. As the headphone and headset output devices are both identically called 590Plantronics, some apps bark, some crash and others won't let me select the second of the two. I've had a kernel panic, too.
10.5: Use stereo Bluetooth devices in 10.5
After some research on this, it seems that there is a serious problem with Bluetooth in 10.5 on late 2008 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. My Samsung Blackjack Windows Mobile 5 phone which used to provide internet access to my previous MacBook Pro (2006) under Tiger is now completely unusable under Leopard on my new MacBook Pro (late 2008). It seems to work but the network speed is simply abysmal. Today, I just tried using my Plantronics 590 headset as headphones on it. This headset used to work just fine on my previous MacBook Pro, even under Leopard, but right now, there is a very serious distortion problem that makes using the headphone well, unusable again. It would seem from what I read that Apple did change the Bluetooth hardware in the late 2008 MacBook Pros and MacBook Air and the Bluetooth driver in Leopard are screwed up or, in other words, a piece of junk. I have read from many people that rebooting the same MacBook Pro under Windows in Boot Camp doesn't exhibit any Bluetooth problem. It seems that Microsoft is now better at writing drivers than Apple is. A real pity! |
