7. Troubleshooting

• Adapter Not Recognized / Not Working:
  Ensure that any built-in Bluetooth on your computer is disabled. If you are using Windows 7, verify that the correct drivers have been installed. Try plugging the adapter into a different USB port.
• Cannot Pair Devices:
  Make sure your Bluetooth device is in pairing mode. Check that the adapter is properly installed and recognized by your system. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled in your computer's settings.
• Poor Connection / Limited Range:
  The operational range can be affected by walls, physical obstructions, and wireless interference (e.g., from Wi-Fi routers, microwaves). Try to reduce obstructions between the adapter and your Bluetooth device. For desktops, using a rear USB port can sometimes improve signal.
• Audio Issues (Stuttering/Disconnections):
  Ensure no other high-bandwidth wireless devices are operating nearby. Check for driver updates for your audio device or the Bluetooth adapter.
• Multiple Audio Devices:
  If you have multiple Bluetooth audio devices connected, only one can play music at a time. Ensure the desired audio device is selected as the default playback device in your sound settings.
