Bluetooth headset not working with flash files

Just got a Plantronics Voyager 510 bluetooth headset. Works just fine, except when viewing clips at YouTube. Not only is there no sound, the clip freezes after a few seconds. I believe they are Adobe Flash. Now this is on my new late 2007 MacBook with Leopard.

So I figure I'll try the headset on my Intel 1.66 Mac Mine with Tiger 10.4.10. Same thing

Any ideas.

Black MacBook 2.2 Ghz and Mac Mini 1.66 Ghz, Mac OS X (10.5)

Apparently Apple cheaped out on the Bluetooth support in the Tiger OS X (or an official profile wasn't even available)....something to do with not having Stereo Headset support.

It is possible to circumvent it: http://blog.david.connolly.name/2007/06/stereo-bluetooth-profile-a2dp-on-mac-os. html However, as indicated on the top of that topic - it is outdated (and IMO too much effort).

In a nutshell - you're being quietly coaxed in to buying Leopard OS X - which does have the Stereo Bluetooth profile installed.

What I don't get is why Apple can't release to us a nice little patch for Tiger to give us the full use of our Bluetooth hardwares.

I'm having the same problem with my i.Tech Clip IIs on Leopard on my Mac Mini. Plays sound fine when I'm using the headset in stereo mode ("Use Headphones"), but it won't play back sound in Flash when in headset mode ("Use Headset").

I really need the headset to work again for a flash teleconferencing site, so if anyone has any pointers it'll be most appreciated.
