After inplace reinstall - speaker not working
I did a Repair Install today using this process Repair Install
One of the things I 'lost' was my Creative D100 Bluetooth speaker - I think I have 'recovered' everything else
It shows up in cpl->hardware and sound->devices and printers->bluetooth devices but I cant get it to connect.
Until now, if it hasn't connected for some reason, I've pressed a button the front of it until its light flashes blue, then I've right clicked on the device icon, selected Advance Operation->Connect to Audio device; the light would flash green and then go steady blue and it would work
Now, when I right click the icon often I get a spinning wheel for 10-20 secs and no response, occassionaly I will get the context menu, but selecting Connect to Audio device does zilch
The Bluetooth usb gadget is from ASUS - I don't recall doing anything when I got it a couple of years ago, just plugged it in, the drivers installed themselves and it all worked. I've tried plugging it into usb ports where other devices work - so its not the usb port.
I just noticed this error screen in the notification area, see attachment - I've never seen that screen before, so I cant say whether or not the errors were there before. I also notice that I have a Realtek HD Audio Manager icon in the notification area that wasn't there before and the volume icon has a red cross on it
Computer sound systems have always been PITA for me
Anyone have any ideas
