USB + bluetooth adventure

Maybe it is for you absolutely not interesting, but I have spent couple of last days buying returning and replacing different bluetooth USB dongles and USB HUBs. I must say there is so much rubbish in this area. Everybody want to sell you anything. Very difficult to get oriented. I have USB 2.0 card in my PC with 5 USB ports. I bough web cam and that one is 1.1. I bought USB bluetooth dongle (USB 2.0) and they are killing each other. Oh it is rather terrible. I spent so much time with this, today I though all is solved as I went to almost the most expensive stuff they have in local shops. But still after I plug in all looks very good. When my friend called me over skype my bluetooth headset start working, but only for few second when video kicked in. Than I lost whole bluetooth device and my friend’s voice switched to speakers. For some reason my mic in PC doesn’t work. Well it is kind of mess.

I am going to try solve this but putting USB dongle to the main USB board and leave camera in USB HUB. Wondering if it ever will be working as expected. I was in shop to change these things already three times, soon and they will recognize me from the distance :-(
