| 480504 | 2006-08-24 10:52:00 | Recently I bought a Motorola HT820 Bluetooth headphone/mic set. On my PDA it gives great sound quality. But on my laptop and PC the sound quality recieved has a lot of hissing and popping. I bought a class 2 bluetooth dongle to connect the headset with my PC. Is there anything I can do about this? |

| 480505 | 2006-08-25 05:27:00 | Is your laptop / PC situated somewhere near a microwave oven (or cordless phones etc.)? If so, interference between waves could occur as (Physics!) trough of "Bluetooth waves" could meet the crest of microwave (and vice versa), which causes a certain degree of destructive interference - hence the hissing and popping sound. This is my hypothesis though, so don't take it too seriously. Cheers :) |

| 480506 | 2006-08-25 11:21:00 | Thanks but no luck there. I went as far as unplugging the cordless phone. The enviroment my bluetooth is in is ... WIFI network 2 (two pc's + router), 1 wireless keyboard and mouse, 1 cordless phone, 1 Microwave 5 meters away. My bluetooth headset is connected thru a class II dongle. I'm wondering if I need a more powerful dongle to cut thru background interference? Or is it a software issue. I use Blue Soleil 1.6 as a connection and device manager. |

| 480507 | 2006-08-25 12:04:00 | Uhm, sorry but I don't know anything about "Class II dongle" bluetooth :o I am really a noob when come to discuss hardwares. Via what frequency spectrum (or name) do your wireless keyboard and mouse connect to your computer? Cheers :) |

You have a number of wireless devices that could interact, so kill them one by one until the problem goes away or only the bluetooth is left operating. If you can narrow the source down to one wireless device you can then see if there are any frequency-shift options to clear the Bluetooth communication channel. If none of this helps, return to go and see what else you can kill to get the noise to stop. Might even be your PC. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 480509 | 2006-08-25 23:32:00 | Will do. I'm wondering if it's my Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse. If so is there a way to frequency-shift it. The transmitter has a button on it and I'm wondering if by pressing the button it will shift the frequency clear of the bluetooth dongle. Failing that is there anything I can do to reduce any radio noise my PC might make? |
