Getting Plantronics Voyager 510 to work with Windows 7

This applies to many other bluetooth headsets out there who have trouble working with  Vista or Windows 7.

One of the main problem that show up is that the pairing is successful (with Bluetooth Perepheral Device), but it doesn't find any drivers. Here's a snippet from the windows support website to get this working.

Due to the fact that Windows Vista doesn’t support Bluetooth headset profile, if you want to use a Bluetooth headset with your adapter, you’ll need a little creative workaround to add the headset profile to the default Microsoft stack. Download either of the x86 or x64 compilations of the CSR Bluetooth driver and extract its contents to a folder. When you try to pair your headset to your computer, Windows will ask for drivers for the headset since it doesn’t find the appropriate headset profile. Point Windows to the folder where you have extracted the CSR drivers to make it work. Make sure you go into the device in the Bluetooth Devices panel and check off the boxes for headset, etc. [Source]

There are many people suggesting various approaches which haven't worked for me or for many others.

The CSR drivers are mentioned on the above referenced website or can be downloaded from
•Download CSR Bluetooth Driver v1.0.0.376 for Windows Vista / Windows Server 2008 x86 (32-bit) as a 216 kB (221,687 bytes) CAB file which should extract to 674 kB (691,122 bytes)


•Download CSR Bluetooth Driver v1.0.0.376 for Windows Vista / Windows Server 2008 x64 (64-bit) as a 232 kB (237,897 bytes) CAB file which should extract to 773 kB (792,118 bytes)
 
To get Skype working with the headset, you need to make sure that you are able to select "Bluetooth Hand-free Audio" as a Playback Device when you right click on the "volume" icon in the lower right corner of the screen.
 

You will also need to change the Audio  Settings in Skype so it uses Bluetooth device for both recording and playback.
 

 
Hope this works for everyone having such issues.
