trouble getting Skype to see my Headset
![CB](https://icrontic.com/applications/dashboard/design/images/defaulticon.png)
Before I reformatted my system, I was using Skype with my Bluetooth headset. All I did was install the headset, then open the Skype options, and change the device dropdowns to point to my 'bluetooth device'.
Now, I've reinstalled Skype, and reinstalled my Bluetooth headset, but the 'Bluetooth device entry does not appear in the dropdown list in the Skype options panel...
I don't even know where to start troubleshooting this...

Um... no?
How do I check that stuff?...
and how did I do it before without knowing what you're talking about?
Search for bluetooth devices and locate your headset.
It will ask for a security code (which for most headsets if normally 0000).
You will have an option to always allow the device to connect to your PC.
You should then be able to browse your "bluetooth network places" and see the headset listed as an "audio gateway"
That should then show up in Skype
Got that part down.
Here you lose me... Where is the option to see 'Bluetooth network places'? All I get when I view my devices is this window:
Could that be the problem?
Either way, it says it cannot find any PAN devices. Even thought my 'Bluetooth Devices' window shows a connection to this headset...
I'm confused...
I had nothing but trouble with built in support. I still use my MSI drivers instead because they support the correct profile
I installed that software, and now it sees the headset as an audio gateway, and Skype is allowed to use it. Thanks;)
Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out... I was being a nincompoop...
Glad you solved it..
