[GiudiceLab]

We have successfully connected to a Wiimote via Bluetooth (on Windows XP), and we wanted to add a wireless speaker to our setup. We bought a Sony Ericsson MBS-100 speaker (looks like an alien egg. eek.) and a new Bluetooth dongle (TrendNet TBW-106UB) that supports the necessary profile for the speaker, installed IVT BlueSoleil which contains the drivers for the dongle, and connected to our two devices. That worked fine, but then Vizard crashed when we tried to run our program.

After various troubleshooting steps, we uninstalled BlueSoleil, which fixes the issue insofar as Vizard stops crashing. But if we pair the speaker using the built-in Bluetooth Devices utility, Vizard will crash anyway.

Despite all of this, we have had no problems with the Wiimote.

We are moving the speaker all over the lab for sound experiments, so having a wireless speaker is really optimal. Has anyone else had Bluetooth issues, or found a good wireless speaker solution?
