I want to use this as a slave to my laptop and as a master to a bluetooth speaker as "proof of concept". Can this unit be used for that?

This is a Board that gives you Serial communication over Bluetooth not a Bluetooth to Bluetooth connection. This will not work in your application.

No,This is for digital data only It does not have the bandwith/ throughput for audio

Yes, as long as the computer has bluetooth capability. The only issue that I have found is you need to be a couple of feet or more away from the computer or the audio quality is poor. Other than that, this unit works fantastic.

There are Bluetooth speaker adapters that you can attach to remotely control the speaker unit with a computer or phone.

this is a broadcast only unit. I have not tried to send music to a bluetooth speaker. I have to assume it will work at this time.. for the price its worth the investment to find out.

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.

Robert...absolutely!!!!! I often cast Pandora from my laptop both wired and wirelessly to my Bluetooth enabled speakers... Buy it with confidence and install the appropriate software that will accompany the device in shipping. Enjoy! Chip

In my case, no. The devices that I can connect this speaker to only allow one Bluetooth connection at a time. If your source device provides connectivity to multiple bluetooth devices at once, you should have no issue having this speaker be one of them.

That isn't correct. The speakers aren't limited. Your bluetooth device is limited to connect to one device at once. There are apps for devices to work around this.

Yes.The purpose of this piece of hardware is to provide an output to a larger sound system.Depending on what software you use on your laptop, you can set this hardware as your main output to the sound system that everyone is dancing to, and then use the headphone jack on your laptop to cue up songs that you will be playing in the future. That is what I do on my laptop.

Yes, I have used it attached to my PC, Paired with a creative Bluetooth speaker. 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

Yup. It also works great as a travel speaker that is better than your laptop speakers. Don't want to bother people around you? Plug your headphones into the 3.5MM jack on the side. The Laptop will show this device as both a speaker and a mic.

So far I've used it for only two applications each allowing me to use it without any problems, the scope of your question is beyond my usages. Hope all works out. But in my opinion I would suggest either you purchase another bluetooth device to to compensate and comply with your demands. Allowing you to use your devices and enjoy them all at once. In theory I believe this will work my ideal concept is only stated because I'm not sure if one will cancel the other out.

I think it will work, it just can't work without it's own power. As long as your speaker gives it power then it should work.

The speaker works with bluetooth. If your unit is compatable with bluetooth then it should work.

No. This device was designed to deliver sound from a bluetooth SOURCE to a Wired speaker. What you need is the opposite so this isn't a solution for you. Cheers.

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