Installed Windows 7 Operating System on a 60 GB SSD (use it as an External USB Hard Disk Drive)

  • Connect the 60 GB SSD usb hard drive to the usb port of the MSI GE70 computer hardware via the 2.5" sata to usb enclosure. Connect also another 20 GB usb hard disk drive to another usb port of the MSI GE70 hardware. For the 20 GB usb hard disk drive, I used a 20 GB IDE hard disk which is connected to a IDE/SATA to USB Adapter cable  Make sure the MSI GE70 is installed with Windows 7 Operating System. Choose any version of the Windows 7 OS .  For this example I installed the MSI GE70 hardware with Windows 7 Professional OS .

  •    After that logout and login from the Linux Desktop as shown below







  •    Then open up the LXTerminal and run the command under su mode   #  alsamixer    ,then, we should get a GUI that says CHIP and CARD is PulseAudio. This can be seen as shown below.

Pairing the MSI GE70 laptop (installed with Linux OS Ubuntu 13.04) with PHILIPS Shoqbox SB7200

  • Move mouse pointer to the System Settings and Click once. The System Settings is on the left hand side of the display. Then, a System Settings GUI will appear as shown below

   
System Settings with Bluetooth icon as shown above

  •    Then click the Bluetooth icon once, then, another GUI will appear as shown below





   Then Click the  +  (plus sign)  once to scan for a bluetooth device. In this case the bluetooth device is the PHILIPS Shoqbox SB7200. Then, another GUI will appear as shown below showing the PHILIPS bluetooth speaker as SHOQBOX SB7200 SERIES





   After that ' Click '  SHOQBOX SB7200 SERIES once and then ' Click '  CONTINUE and then another GUI will appear as shown below



   Then minimize the ' Bluetooth New Device Setup ' and ' Click '  SHOQBOX SB7200 SERIES once and then ' Click '  Sound Settings once and then another GUI will appear as shown below




   Then highlight the ' Bluetooth Output SHOQBOX SB7200 SERIES ' and Click ' Analog Stereo Output ' and Select  ' High Fidelity Playback (A2DP) as shown below





After that we can play any media files ( .mp3 or .mp4 or .wav )  by using our favorite media player software and the sound will come out from the PHILIPS Bluetooth speaker (PHILIPS Shoqbox SB7200). For me, my favorite media player is vlc software from VideoLan. As an example, I am playing a song/music by Paul Mauriat using vlc as shown below













As a Linux Operating System user/enthusiast, I wish I can connect my KNOPPIX 7.2 with my PHILIPS Bluetooth speaker ( PHILIPS Shoqbox SB7200 ) simple and easy just like what I did with Linux Ubuntu. Thank you very much to the Linux Ubuntu user who have provided me with this step-by-step procedures or step-by-step instructions on how to connect my Linux Ubuntu laptop to my PHILIPS Bluetooth speaker ( PHILIPS Shoqbox SB7200 ).
