I went to Amazon, and did a search for ' AptX Bluetooth USB' and found a wide array of options, so I did what anyone would naturally do - I bought the cheapest one and hoped it would work. Sebastian took a look at a pair of AptX-enabled headphones earlier this year, and I have wanted to check out the technology ever since. I ordered a Dolphinbar as an alternative solution, but I cant get the firmware to install. While I could have just used any Bluetooth adapter compatible with Windows, I wanted to test out one of the features of these headphones - AptX technology.ĪptX is an alternate Bluetooth audio codec from Qualcomm which aims to feature higher audio quality. I recently upgraded to Windows 10, which rendered my Azio bluetooth adapter useless, as it overwrote the Toshiba Bluetooth stack. Seemingly that would be easy, as these headphones feature a 3.5mm input, but I am frequently walking around the office and I wanted to fully utilize the wireless features. While I won't get into the specifics of these headphones other than that I have been really satisfied with them, when I returned from my trip I wanted to start using them at the office. Is there any way to do this? It seems like it should be so easy.Recently, to prepare for a long plane flight I bought a pair of Sony MDR-1000X Bluetooth noise canceling headphones. Yes, I've tried the noise suppression option. Even just plugging a wire connected to nothing into the Line In port on the RealTek motherboard results in tons of noise so that's not a really good option. Bluetooth Solutions or Windows PCs and BT105 If your PC lacks Bluetooth or is an older model with outdated drivers, the AZiO BTDV201 USB 2.0 Micro Bluetooth Adapter is the best solution to add the Bluetooth functionality that your PC needs to use the AirTurn BT105. I tried a line in Bluetooth device and that worked, but if audio wasn't playing on the Dot then there was a ton of interference.

This connects to the Dot perfectly, but Windows can only seem to SEND audio to the Dot. I just ordered a CSR stack Bluetooth Dongle to try that with Blue Soleil, but I'm pretty ready to give up and say that it's impossible to send audio from the Echo Dot via Bluetooth to a Windows device. I finally got the Bluetooth Device Properties screen and was able to select that I wanted to play audio from the Dot. I tried the ASUS adapter with the Broadcom/WIDCOMM drivers. I installed the latest Bluetooth stack from Toshiba and was able to get Blue Soleil to recognize the Echo Dot, but audio doesn't seem to play. With Bluetooth version 4.0, Enhanced Data Rate (EDR), and low energy consumption technology. CSR's aptX audio codec compresses high-quality audio further, enabling it to fit within Bluetooth's limited bandwidth. It seems that the Windows drivers removed this functionality back in Windows 8. Stream high-definition audio wirelessly from your PC to your aptX enabled speakers with the Azio BTD-V401 Bluetooth Adapter.

I also bought this adapter ASUS with Broadcom Stack and WIDCOMM drivers: My adapter for Bluetooth is Azio with Toshiba Stack: I would like to have my Echo Dot connected to my PC and for the audio from the Echo Dot play through the PC speakers.

I have a Media Center PC that runs Windows 10.
