Cannot pair my Plantronics Voyager Pro Bluetooth headset with Windows 7 in Bootcamp

I'm having trouble running Windows 7 under bootcamp for my plantronics M100. Apple advertises that one can run Windows 7 via bootcamp but at every turn I seem to coming to the understanding that the Mac isn't a good Windows machine!!

Come on Apple, we need proper drivers!!

Did you download and install the Windows drivers for your device when you were booted into Windows?

You should start your own thread. Why should Apple provide Windows drivers? After booting into Windows download and install the Windows drivers for your device. Start your own thread if you are having other problems with Boot Camp.

I second this--I have the same issue. Lack of attentiveness to things like this can be really frustrating.

Having the same problem on my mid 2011 iMac. I have also tried installing Broadcom's drivers and it was a no go wouldn't detect the Bluetooth chipset properly so the installer hung.

Bootcamp Bluetooth audio Drivers

Bootcamp bluetooth drivers for windows 7 of the new BCM20702 card are definetly faulty you will notice mainly if you try to pair a Bluetooth Audio Device.

Please help pushing some pressure on Apple to provide appropriate bluetooth drivers for the new bluetooth card: BCM20702 BT V4 + HS, built in Macbook Air MID2011, Mackbook Pro 2011, iMAC and mini. Broadcom drivers will not install properly either.

You may want to use the link above to let them now that the actual drivers makes virtually any audio bluetooth device UNUSABLE:

Cheers,

Came here with the same issue. I have a Broadcom bluetooth chipset. I was able to download the bluetooth detection tool from broadcom and get my bluetooth device to work flawlessly.

Headset: LG HBM-230

Macbook pro 13" Early 2010

Windows 7 x64

Mac OS X Lion

Good luck all.

****. Sorry that didn't work for you. I ran the update tool which detected the hardware, downloaded the appropriate driver stack and installed it.

It shows up in device manager as Broadcom Bluetooth 3.0 USB version 6.5.1.2100 dated 1/26/2012.

Silly question, but did you try running the update tool as administrator (right click > run as administrator)?

This is exactly what happens to me.

Hi timmer,

I have just updated the solution here:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3755904

Hope it helps.

I have a Logitech H800 headset and I am having difficult pair them using the

Apple Bluetooth from Boot Camp CD that I made. I can pair my cellphones,

but the stereo audio for the headset is a problem.

I tried the Broadcom drivers and it hangs from the start when detecting bluetooth

device and it never goes to the next steps validating, downloading and installing

bluetooth software as on the menu.

I had problems with my initial install of bootcamp with this and I had installed bootcamp

Windows 7 on the other partition since early March 2012. I decided to do a reinstall

(wiping out Bootcamp from Mac) of Windows 7 just this morning and I am still having

problems with this Bluetooth feature.

I will just give up using this on the Windows 7 side (Bootcamp) as I have no problems

pairing the headset on the Mac OS side.

Do you have any alternative suggestions how to get this to work?

Thank you.
