Is there any way to use Bluetooth stereo audio (A2DP) in Windows 7 x64?

I recently installed Windows 7 RC x64. Since I also upgraded to 4 GB of RAM, I installed the 64-bit version. It seems there is no way to get A2DP working with my laptop’s internal Bluetooth device (BCM2045B) in Windows 7 RC x64. It worked perfectly in the x86 version of Windows 7 Beta, without even installing any third-party drivers, which was a pleasant shock. It was the first time I’ve ever had a good experience with Bluetooth and especially A2DP on Windows. Unfortunately, the A2DP drivers in the beta were removed from the RC, so now it is back to the bad old days of struggling to get it to work, just like Vista. I have downloaded the latest drivers from my hardware vendor, but these drivers do not support A2DP. I have also tried the Broadcom drivers recommended by Windows as a ‘solution’, but they do not provide A2DP support either. My questions are: 1. Is there a way to get A2DP working on Windows 7 RC x64, with the BCM2045B adapter? 2. Is there a way to get A2DP working on Windows

What is your question?
