Well, the problem is desktop bluetooth. No one is entirely sure the exact reasons, either latency, bandwidth, or both, but it has never really worked quite right. The toshiba stack cuts down on latency, so button presses and the wiimote pointer behave as well as they do on the wii (better even, no HDTV lag means it feels faster). But the speaker has never worked right. As for linux, from what I understand it behaves the same as the Toshiba Stack. The issue with the MS bluetooth stack is that it doesn't support all bluetooth functions: many of which the Wiimote needs. Hence it is incapable with the -TR wiimote, laggier, and much more problematic. The Toshiba Stack and the Linux bluetooth stack both support all those functions, so they behave more or less the same. So there really isn't any solution to the wiimote speaker issue. Oh, and just FYI, better to ask questions like these on the forum :P - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 00:07, 4 February 2014 (CET) | Well, the problem is desktop bluetooth.

Oh, I am as stated well aware of the differences between the Toshiba and Windows stacks on windows, however, not having examined it further, I was not very aware of the technicalities of the Linux stack (I generally try to avoid BT as much as possible, and even now have a marginal, isolated relationship with it (external dongles attached only to the computer on which I intend to use wiimotes, and only for the duration of my gaming)) and as such wouldn't have been surprised to hear that it functioned without error on the *nixs. Hah, HDTV lag depends on the panel used, as with all things display-related, and there are rather high-end panels with response times comparable to regular VGA displays out there.</ | Oh, I am as stated well aware of the differences between the Toshiba and Windows stacks on windows, however, not having examined it further, I was not very aware of the technicalities of the Linux stack (I generally try to avoid BT as much as possible, and even now have a marginal, isolated relationship with it (external dongles attached only to the computer on which I intend to use wiimotes, and only for the duration of my gaming)) and as such wouldn't have been surprised to hear that it functioned without error on the *nixs.

Haha, oh, I know that, sorry, but I merely requested confirmation because, if there was any (and there apparently is), I find that it ought to be written here (and in other appropriate places, obviously) that it is broken; especially seeing as that the option ("wiimote speaker data") is enabled by default in Dolphin, something which I find rather odd considering that it is broken. I think it deserves mention, so that people are aware of it. If there are any known workarounds (e.g. to make the speaker sounds come out on a separate channel on your soundrig or something like that), that might be of use in the wiki as well.

There are no workarounds. Wiimote speaker data is just bad, and no one knows how to fix it. Other than it sounding bad it isn't much of a problem though (though I really do hate that it's enabled by default). Anyway, I guess mentioning it somewhere could be done, but frankly it doesn't really fit into the Wii Remote Plus connection guide. I'm not sure where it would fit. - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 05:18, 5 February 2014 (CET) | There are no workarounds.

Oh, that I know, I meant "workaround" as in making the emulator (i.e. Dolphin) send the wiimote sound data to a different location (just a thought, as I have no idea if that is even possible code-wise), to e.g. make the sounds that are supposed to play in the wiimote play e.g. in the center or left speaker in your soundrig, or perhaps even to a separate soundcard (enabling one to have a tiny little extra speaker lying on the desktop that plays all the wiimote sounds, or use the built-in speakers of ones HDMI-connected display with built-in speakers for example).

Just a thought; maybe it ought to be mentioned on the page that the Toshiba stack isn't freeware unless you use "real" toshiba hardware, and that what you download is a 30-day trial version (which is the case)? Further, you can't even buy it after the trial period, as according to Toshiba, they only supply it for use with their own hardware (and apparently only their notebooks/notebooks equipped with their gear nowadays) and if you use third-party hardware, you have to uninstall it and use "the appropriate software for your third-party vendor" (one could ask why they even offer their software in the first place if there's no way to obtain it even if you like it and are willing to pay, but oh well) as seen [http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/pages/download.php here], [https://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/?page=download-toshiba here] and [http://support.toshiba.com/support/viewContentDetail?contentId=2290140 here]. This might be a good thing to mention to avoid nasty surprises, and to be clear what it is we're recommending here.
