Vaio A317M sound and bluetooth problems

BioToxic — Sat, 05 Mar 2005 11:44:32 GMT

Hi,

I bought my first Vaio and I was forced to reinstall Windows (XP Pro).After all driver installations, I cannot install sound driver - Realtek , he says - please install Microsoft BUS driver before!!!.

And another thing - my bluetooth is always on!! I don't have software for it.
Can someone help? Any ideas? Thank you!!:smileycry:

OK, I figured out sound card problem. It's fine now.

Only problem left - Bluetooth device. It's always on!! Does anyone know how to turn it off?

After couple hours of madness and lost hair (as well as lost nerves) I found solution here - DOWNLOAD HD AUDIO DRIVER
I downloaded, install and yeee!! All ready! After that I installed Realtek anyway. Works fine.

-- Regards Bluetooth is still on, Button next to memory stick is for Wireless internet. Bluetooth is still at large!!
Ideas? Or where to get software for it?

do you had the small green colour icon written LAN on your right bottom screen?.. try right click and choose 'show main dialog'
and it should pop a screen up with 'wireless device switch' then you a had the option of enable wireless and enable bluetooth. well uncheck the enable bluetooth then.

Hi,

No I don't have that wireless switch utility. Actually I don't have any Bluetooth software at all, excepr SP2 (which enables Bluetooth). So is there any way to switch it off??

har same as mine... cool stuff uh? :smileygrin: .. well once you put in all the batteries in the mouse, turn it on, there is a button under it.. then turn on your laptop, tilt it abit.. better off the docking station first, you will find a small button (round n white) under your right hand side of the laptop.. better if you put your laptop at the eage of the table.. easy to see under it.. then.. press it on the same time press the white button (connect) under your mouse too. and it should be working by now hehehhe

Yeehh... Vaio mouse is crap. Very "unhandy".
As for bluetooth - still same problem. There should be utility or software called bluetooth gate or something. Any ideas where to download?? And same stuff with wireless - need wireless switch utility. Anyone..?
