How To Fix Bluetooth Peripheral Device

If you are willing to break out some troubleshooting skills, you can fix the Bluetooth Peripheral Device problem without buying a new device. Fixing the problem is relatively simple and involves changing the distance between your headset and your phone.

Moving them apart by at least a foot or two should solve the issue. If it doesn’t work, check to see if you have a firmware update for your headset or speaker that might resolve the issue. You will also want to ensure you have the latest, compatible software for your headset.

What Is The Bluetooth Peripheral Device Driver?

The Bluetooth peripheral device driver is a software-based solution for interacting with Bluetooth devices. It works on Microsoft Windows-based computers, including servers, tablets, and other computers where the hardware manufacturer does not provide Bluetooth drivers.

The driver is a library built into the operating system kernel. You can use this driver to connect with remote devices and send data between those devices in an interoperable way.

The driver helps this by automatically discovering Bluetooth devices within range, pairing them with the computer, and making your applications easy to use by abstracting away the details of Bluetooth communication.

In Windows 8, Microsoft enhanced the standard Bluetooth stack behavior. The new stack also allows you to receive more information from the device and send data more efficiently.

For example, if you have a printer that supports printing on PostScript paper and paper of other sizes, you could use this stack to print using a size other than standard letter size.

If you have a newer device with Bluetooth 4.1, you’re in for a treat! This new version of Bluetooth has many great features that will extend the life of your wireless device—including more reliable connectivity, faster speeds, and more efficient wireless battery management.

Plus, it provides better coverage that helps to overcome the shorter range limitation. If you have an older device, like one with Bluetooth 4.0, then the range problem may be mainly due to interference from other devices, or the headset or device’s battery could be worn out. If that’s the case, a new battery should solve the problem.

  For example, “bcdedit /set nointr Local\Dell\Bluetooth”.
• After resetting the Bluetooth, there is a chance that it may not work until you re-install your hardware driver.
• If your device is still not working, then go to Device Manager. In the “Other devices” category, right-click the device and then click Uninstall.
• Finally, if you cannot see your device, install new services and start the computer in normal mode. In Device Manager, locate a Bluetooth Support Service or Bluetooth Support [Unkown device] and uninstall it.
• You should now be able to see your Bluetooth device in Device Manager under other devices.
