How Do I Run Sound from My Creative Soundblaster Z Card to Bluetooth Headphones?

[Haints]

I hadn't realized that these two wouldn't "interface." I just got a pair of wireless Sony headphones and they're perfect for gaming--but my soundcard won't recognize them. Someone suggested I could connect them with an "inline Bluetooth adapter" but I can't even find a clear definition of what that is .... Any help would be most appreciated!

You can buy a USB Bluetooth adapter for like $10 from anywhere.

Thanks for responding--but I already tried that. I have a USB Bluetooth adaptor. But the Creative Sound Card can't send a signal to it. It's hard for me myself to understand, but the explanation goes something like: "The soundcard converts the digital signal into an analogue one, but bluetooth is a digital signal ..." So the sound card can only use wired connections.

Then don't use the sound card. Plug in the USB adapter, and change your default sound device in the control panel to the Bluetooth device and not the Soundblaster.

If you want to use the soundcard, then you need a 3.5mm to bluetooth transmitter like this.

So this would pass the signal from my sound card essentially unaltered to my headphones? In other words the virtual surround would be preserved?
