my apolgies for not being perfectly clear.   what i envision is
this:

    +-------------------+        +------------------+
    |laptop with        |   rf   |wireless receiver |
    |wireless transmiter|  ~~~>  |possibly bluetooth|
    |possibly bluetooth |        |a/c powered       |
    +-------------------+        +--------+---------+
                                          |
                                          | 3.5 mm short
                                          | stereo cable
                                          |
                                 +--------+---------+
                                 |audio sys across  |
                                 |the room          |
                                 +--------+---------+

the problem with my present adapter is that it looses
connectivity, and requires one to push a button to
reconnect, which is not close to to the laptop where i'm
fiddling with "settings".  none of my other bluetooth
devices require a button push.

jerry suggests a bluetooth transmitting dongle, but i don't think
i need one as the laptop bluetooth works well with other devices.

it's a better wireless receiver i need.

thanks for the replies,
ole dan
