You can also use A2DP toggle From teksoft... its free and it has command line params to toggle the BT on or off on top of toggling the BT Stereo to your headset. ( so it says *)
I use it on mine to redirect the stereo to my FM transmitter...

* I had the command line to toggle BT and Stereo ON, and i expected it to put on BT and then the Stereo, but for some reason I have to click twice on the same shortcut ( on my M2D) for it to enable both icons in the task bar but it works ... clicking twice was not an issue since it works . Also I expected it to turn off if they are ON already ( hence the word Toggle) but this didnt work unless I create another shortcut to specify to turn OFF ... Not really a big deal since this is free, so i create an ON shortcut and an OFF shortcut to help save on the batteries when i do not need it. If ytou get it to work as a Toggle using 1 shortcut let me know!

thats just the way it is, the applications forces all audio through the BT gateway,which is why a mono BT headset sounds like crap when you are listening to music. You could try changing the AudioPara files to find something close to your liking. I use it at work just to pass the time, im not looking for quality.

thanx for all the info guys. the audio isnt to bad, just that its a lil to low. and when im working i can hardly hear it. im not very familiar with registry editor or anything of that sort. so if someone can give me a walk through on how to get this done it would appreciated. or some type of cab that works. i tried the bigboy and a2dp. i tried all of them. is there a certain way to install these or just drap and install?

What I do that seems to sound better is an edit in HLM\System\State\Hardware. Edit Bluetooth value data to 32. Play a song or something with sound, then push the talk button on your headset. The only problem I have with this is that it keeps your headset running and you need to change the value every time you turn it back on.

I stream music to my Headset/headphones(Jabra 8010) and Car stereo( Dual XHD6425) Everyday. Never had to use any extra programs.
When I set up the device in bluetooth connection, there is a check box for headset and one for wireless stereo. It connects automatically as wireless stereo. Not sure if this is the same with all bluetooth headsets.
