WMR Odyssey+ and built in Bluetooth? Not working.

[Sgt. Nick Fury]

So I just got a new to me WMR Odyssey+ as an upgrade to my Odyssey. I was excited about removing my bluetooth dongle from my pc, and being able to use the built in bluetooth on headset.....but now that I did that my computer seems to have no bluetooth. I can find no setting within the Odyssey+ setup or Portal pertaining to built in bluetooth. Is it not working because dongle was connected when I first connected it? Tried to take off and reconnect but no dice. Am I wasting my time did they remove this feature?

Maybe this feature doesn't exist? I saw it mentioned in a couple of articles but nothing in instructions or documentation.

It should work. Run Samsung Odyssey+ setup program. Make sure you remove older BT driver leftover, enable show hidden devices in System/Device Manager and uninstall device with driver.
Also if you have original Odyssey driver, that one should go too.
If all fails after these steps, uninstall WMR completely, reboot comp, connect HMD and go through setup process.

So there IS a BT receiver in the new headset? I can't really find documentation....but I could swear I read article saying it would be BT 5.0... ran setup program but nothing there on BT. If I show hidden what is the device I am looking for? How is it listed?

It doesn't show up in device manager as a Bluetooth device... I'm not sure that you could bind anything to it besides the controllers.

The only way to pair the controllers is through the Samsung setup app for the headset. If they're not showing up there, you have to re-bind them by holding the button inside the battery compartment, but you need to be on the controller setup screen of the setup app.

I'm on day 4 trying to resolve this issue. There's no Odyssey+ software to be seen within WMR portal and the option to confiure the controllers just brings up a dialog box telling me I need an app and recommends the Windows Store. I cannot find and Odyssey+ HMD set up app anywhere!

I've got my controllers working but using my Z390's integrated bluetooth. I've had to pair the motion controllers with my PC and if I turn off the PC's BT I lose the controllers. If the O+ has bluetooth integrated into the HMD it's not working on mine. More to the point why isn't the Odyssey+ software installing when Windows Mixed Reality installs? How can I configure the controllers if there's no software to do it? I've tried using W10 1809 and now 1903. Still no joy.

O+ has bluetooth built in.

So once WMR portal has finished downloading and starts to run you through the setup it installs a small app called "Samsung HMD Odyssey+ Setup" if its installed you'll find it in your app list in start. You can run that to go through pairing. You'll probably need to unpair them from the boards bluetooth and then disable it.

I will have to revisit this. I honestly just gave up on it. I have been using my BT dongle I used on original Odyssey.

It's not in WMR portal (well, you should see it in the start menu under S)... it's a Windows Store App for the desktop. If you have the Store firewalled or blocked for some reason, that might interfere with the install.

Open the Windows Store interface, and check your library. Should see "Samsung HMD Odyssey+ Setup" there.
