Bluetooth Driver is a popular Windows application that allows a user's computer to properly connect with a Bluetooth connection coming from a distinct device.
For those who don't know, Bluetooth is currently the most widespread technology that enables a wireless connection between two devices. Most people use Bluetooth in order to connect their smartphone or computer with an audio output.
Using bluetooth removes the need for an external cable that connects different units. Nowadays, many headphones are wireless and pair with a device, such as a smartphone or laptop, in order to produce noise.
By contrast, the Bluetooth driver is the specific component that allows two devices to pair. After installation, a user will be able to pair their computer with a device that has Bluetooth enabled.
To be more specific, a driver is a fundamental component of modern software that lets an operating system and an external device communicate with each other. In this instance, the Bluetooth on a user's smartphone will first "talk" to the driver which is installed on the operating system. The operating system will then trigger the driver to complete a series of instructions, which ultimately leads the laptop to successfully pair with the smartphone.
This particular Bluetooth driver is easy to install, use, and update as needed. It works on nearly every major operating system, such as MacOS, Windows, and Linux. The Bluetooth driver also enables fast file transfer between two devices.
Without the Bluetooth Driver installed, older devices will likely be unable to properly pair with another device. This could mean that no connection will occur between the devices, or the connection will frequently lag.
Additionally, users are able to pair the Bluetooth driver with distinct dongles, adaptors, and other ports in order to speed all data transfer between devices. The driver will allow two unconnected objects to easily and nearly simultaneously detect each other.
Users should be aware that there are some drawbacks with the Bluetooth driver. Unfortunately, the Bluetooth driver can't act as Wifi adapter between two devices. Depending on how old your machine is, the Bluetooth driver may cause a delay or not properly function.
Some users complain that the driver causes the operating system to malfunction; however, this is exceedingly rare.
