Sound - Bluetooth not digitally signed
Be nice to me - I'm not computer savvy, but could use troubleshooter well
enough to determine that I have no sound at all because my Bluetooth driver is not digitally signed. So - without sounding to stupid - how does one get the driver signed so that the sounds play? Or is this sytem doomed? If so, is there another driver I can install via Windows XP to get some kind of sound out of my laptop? Thanks! -- Ami |

Thanks! -- Ami If it's not working, it's not because the driver isn't digitally signed, it's because the hardware isn't installed or configured properly, or doesn't work. Many, many drivers that work very well are not digitally signed. On XP, drivers are not required to be digitally signed. Signing basically means that the vendor submitted the drivers to MS and that it passed a number of specific tests and criteria, not all of which are necessarily functional (i.e, may include visual elements), and that the driver has not changed since testing. Every update or bug-fix has to be re-submitted for testing and re-signing. This process can be lengthy and expensive, and not all vendors want to or can afford the time or expense to do this. Requiring signing would mean that if a user finds a problem, it can be fixed, but they can't get the fix till MS finishes re-testing. So to your specific problem, it would be helpful to know something about the hardware that the driver is referring to, and how it was installed. In the meantime, consider removing it, charging everything that needs charging, and carefully following the installation instructions. On a laptop, be sure that the components are actually enabled and aren't shut off to save power, and that devices are properly paired. HTH -pk |
