Motorola S9 bluetooth headset A2DP connection problems

Sorry, new to this, the Motorola S9 is recognized as a bluetooth headset for
use with cell phones. It works fine with my cell phone. My phone detects
that it is out there.
My laptop does not detect that it exisits and Dell tech support said that it
is a problem with Vista not supporting A2DP, Advanced Audio Distribution
Profile. Sony Vaio references that it supports bluetooth A2DP devices. When
I ask my laptop to look for a bluetooth device it does not find it.
Dell tech support logged on to my PC and tried and said finally that Vista
Home Premium was not supporting this technology. This seems hard to believe.
I can't find any info in Microsoft tech support so I am here. I want a safe
solution for this lack of compatability with Vista.

Okay, so clearly the headset does work. Does Motorola have Vista drivers
for it? If not, then it's probably not going to work under Vista.

I am experiencing difficulties with the S9 connection to my Nokia 6126.
The phone works fine, but the music only comes across mono. what I
understand from the motorola website is that the phone needs to pair
with the phone/headset and music/headset as two separate items. However,
the phone does not have a way of identifying the music headset as a
separate item. Any ideas on this?

Frankly, no. This sounds like a problem for Motorola support, not Vista
support.

This is definitely a Vista issue... the Microsoft bluetooth stack does
not support the A2DP profile... I'm having massive problems with
this, and although I've increased the number of support profiles by
installing the WIDCOMM stack, cannot get A2DP to work in Vista...
