Making And Recieving Calls with Computer

[circuitmonkey]

Hi all,

I've been trying to figure out a way of using my computers speakers/headset as the headset for my phone.

Basically I work in a shared office and tend to listen to music all day with a closed cup headset and find it quite annoying to take off my headset to receive a call.

I've managed to get my music played form my trinity via A2DP (bluesoleil's audio sink service) to my computers headset, but calls are still left on my device :(

Is it possible that my computer can act as a headset too? can this be done via USB cable rather then Bluetooth?

Any ideas/pointers would be great!

Looking at my computer bluetooth configuration (WinNT with Widcomm BT stack) I can see that in the list of local services supported by the BT stack there is also the "Headset" profile. Enabling that service and pairing your phone to make it use such service should be what you are looking for but honestly I have never tried myself.

PS: You have a different BT stack so first thing you should do is check if you have "headset" profile in the list of local services... if it is not there then I guess you are out of luck.

Yer, it doesn't look like i have one, might have to try a different bluetooth stack. Shame, bluesoleil looks like a nice simple solution

Thanks for your help
