Does this adapter transmit sound from a non-Bluetooth enabled laptop to a Bluetooth speaker like a UE Boom? Thanks.

Yes. I used it to send audio from my Toshiba laptop (no built-in Bluetooth) to a JBL Charge BT speaker. Remember to put speaker in pairing mode.

Hello Rian,Thank you for your inquiry.The Sound Bar has built in Bluetooth (using the A2DP Bluetooth profile). If you intend to connect your device to the Sound Bar via Bluetooth, you will not need an adapter.Sincerely,Accessory GenieCustomer Service

I suspect not as the speaker works exclusively with Bluetooth enabled devices. Unless your laptop is equipped with Bluetooth, this will not work.

Actually, I use it only as a connection between my laptop and my speaker. It's a good Bluetooth and it works very well.

If your laptop does not have the Bluetooth option, then you will not be able to connect this speaker.. If it does you will definitely be able to connect because my son has a laptop and is able to connect.. Thanks Bonnie

This makes a desk top or lap top without bluetooth able to connect to anything bluetooth. I purchased mine for a set of blue tooth stereo head phone with a mic most of my computers are wifi and xonnect via the network. I use it for music. Some creative products include a wireless uusb conmection but it isn't always bluetooth. This allows your phone anything to pair. It has software and a small button you push to pair.

This is a wireless Bluetooth device, which means a Bluetooth capable device is needed in order to send signals to it. I believe there are Bluetooth adapters which you could use to upgrade your laptop, in order to use it with other Bluetooth devices. You CAN charge the speaker by plugging it into your laptop's USB port, but this is not how the speaker receives the data/sound that it plays wirelessly through the speaker.

yes, anything that you can hear from normal speaker for Laptop, you can hear from this. its just like any other external speaker with USB as input connector to the computer. But it works only with computers

I installed it on my work PC and have used it to transmit audio to my bluetooth headphones and my bluetooth boombox (not at the same time, though). It transmits music fine, but it is NOT in stereo. On my headphones, it only comes through in one speaker, making it unusable for my purposes.

Yes. It works with anything sound wise from your laptop or whatever it's connected to.

in the event your pc or notebook does not have bluetooth, you can get bluetooth adapters that work via USB (like Kinivo Btd-400 Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter for Windows 8/Windows 7/Vista ), or via 3.5mm audio (like VicTsing Portable USB Bluetooth Audio Music Streaming Receiver Adapter with 3.5 mm Stereo Output Black )...

This is on thing I've been having trouble with myself. I have the receiver connected to my home theater system and wanted to play audio from my laptop. I can connect to the receiver with my laptop's Bluetooth, but I haven't been able to get Windows to play sound through It as it doesn't show in audio devices. . I'm using Windows 7 and haven't been able to find any software in the hour I spent searching about it.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. I connect my windows laptop onto my low tier Bluetooth speaker and a cheap 30 pin Bluetooth adapter that I use on my Bose sound dock with this Asus adapter. I think you would have no problem with connecting your laptop to your Bose speaker as pretty much Bluetooth technology works with each other seamlessly.

Yes, it has built in bluetooth & pairs quite easily... both as a streaming audio device and as a phone headset... actually bluetoothed my laptop to play winamp with flac files and a couple rounds of black ops 2 over my system ;) As soon as you get a call, it mutes everything else.

No, this dongle is purely for audio. It enumerates over USB as an audio device rather than as a Bluetooth device; the dongle contains all of the Bluetooth functionality inside (a.k.a. "full-stack") so that the BT part is basically invisible to the host.

It uses non-proprietary bluetooth (regular bluetooth often builtin to laptops.) I use two of them on two Win 7 laptops and have a brand new one still in the packaging for a backup since I did have one go bad within the warranty period but I couldn't wait for it so I bought one. I didn't think they were still available. :-)
