The speaker is recognized via bluetooth, but no sound either by Bluetooth or by cable. Do drivers exist for the older gen. and Windows 7?

It was tricky getting it to work...I admit. Just take it to a knowledgeable salesperson at Best Buy and they will make it work.

Not enough information supplied here. Is it there sound card, speakers, audio in mute, speakers not turned on, a laptop, a desktop, what operating system are you using? All these questions need to be known. As far a a recommendation, I have a desktop computer with Windows 7 64 bit system and I'm using Creative SB1350, PCI Express Sound Blaster. I first tried the SB1040 Sound Blaster but it wasn't the best for me, as I like to record what I hear and I couldn't with this one.

I have installed this device on both Windows 7 & 8 with no problems. I downloaded the latest Device Drivers from Creative. Here is the link: http://support.creative.com/downloads/?h=7 I installed the driver before plugging in the device. Check sound properties if no sound and make the "Sound Blaster Wireless" the default device for playback and recording.

After it loaded on my desktop I just pushed the connect button on the end of the USB for 4 or 5 seconds until the very small blue light on the side blinks rapidly and then did the same on the speakers until the Bluetooth light blinked rapidly. When they connect the speaker light stays solid blue and the the tiny light on the USB blinks slowly. Make sure the volume is up on the computer and the Creative speakers. On my desktop the USB "takes over" and the regular speakers on the computer are disabled. You may have to manually select the Creative speakers in the control panel. Good luck.

I am having no issues using Windows 8.1 Pro's default Bluetooth driver. I pair with speakers and headphones that do not use a code. Works well. Never bothered with any other drivers. This info may not help you in any other version of Windows. I can't attest.

Good question. I did not expect the problem I had encountered as well, but theoretically everything on your computer needs a "driver" to work properly. For some devices (the USB BT adapter in our case, not the BT audio adapter), Windows use preloaded drivers to access them so that they seem to be "plug & play." In very rare case that the hardware has more functions than the preloaded driver can provide, problems might happen. Normally Windows gives warnings or "unrecognized device" messages and let the user install or update the driver, but in my case it seemed Windows used a deprecated driver. My USB BT adapter works fine with many of my BT devices but it just could not initialize connections to the BT audio adapter. To sum up, the problem is the deprecated driver for the USB BT adapter. The problem has nothing to do with the BT audio adapter and Windows 7. Only the driver of the USB BT adapter matters. For most Windows 7 machines they use appropriate drivers and they will be fine. My review just serves as a reference that if someone encounter the same connection problem they can update the driver themselves to solve the issue.

Yes, just plug and play to Bluetooth. Hint: you may have to go to Control Panel, Sound, and see if your Bluetooth device (speaker) is recognized. Works great for me.

The driver package includes the HDMI Audio drivers. You need to set that up in the Control Panel > Sound; as the default device.

I purchased a mini USB Bluetooth adaptor and plugged it into the PC. Do not specifically remember, but it looked for the speakers and as long as the speakers are electrically plugged in and the button turned on to blinking it worked. My PC and speakers are in different rooms but less than 30'.

Plug it into one of your USB ports, then plug the headphones/mic/speakers or whatever your using it for in and you done. Windows has native support so the Operating system should pick it up right away. I bought mine for a set of Klipsch speakers, has been working well for about 4 months.

This is on thing I've been having trouble with myself. I have the receiver connected to my home theater system and wanted to play audio from my laptop. I can connect to the receiver with my laptop's Bluetooth, but I haven't been able to get Windows to play sound through It as it doesn't show in audio devices. . I'm using Windows 7 and haven't been able to find any software in the hour I spent searching about it.

You can get the newest drivers from M-Audio, and yes it works with Windows 7 64 bit.

I know it didn't work with Windows 7 via the USB. I used the audio out and connected it to the line input of my PC

This blue tooth adapter can come broken, remove the old driver and reinstall. If that doesn't work, I would suggest that you return and buy a different adapter.
