I'm using a Cingular 8125 running 2.17.7.2 WWE (I'm running this: Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE_CF2_A2DP-fixed.exe) with a Cardo Scala 500 Bluetooth headset. I also have Microsoft Voice Command installed and operational as the default dialer.
The system volume can be as high as it goes, the phone volume can be as high as it goes, and the headset turned all the way up, and the volume seems quite low to me when I think it should be blowing me out.
I've searched to try to find a registry hack to increase the earpiece volume so it's louder, but can't seem to find a definitive answer as to how to do this or if it's even possible. Since I read positive reviews about the Cardo Scala here, I have to assume others have experienced this, too. Has anyone found a solution for this - or perhaps this is not common and maybe something is wrong with my hardware?
Any help is appreciated!
I am also looking for the same solution.
I have tried many of the other registry hacks and such, however no matter what bluetooth headset I have tried, I have had no luck getting any more volume either.
If anyone has any solutions or insights please point us in the right direction.
Thanks.

do you know how to do it on gigabyte's g-smart i300?
i cant find the audiogain key!!!
Hi, If it's not too much trouble could you briefly explain what Hex settings increase the value and/or decrease the value. I my headset_uplink_volume key the default value is 11, so how does this get changed to hex, or cannot I change the numerical value to equal the hex value?
i have a TYTN with wnmobile6 (shcap's 4.1 edition) and i d'ont find the Audiogain? How i can increase the volume? i use Stereo bluetooth Headphone Motorola HT820.
This subject seems to have been beaten to death in the other device forums, but I haven't seen any direct references to this in the TyTN forums, so here goes: has anyone who experienced the ( every 10-20s) skipping problem using the A2DP profile found a solution?
I've seen a couple of registry hacks in other forums which seem to have worked for others, but nothing so far about the TyTN.
I have everything working now with WMP except this and the issue with the ring tone being delayed and coming only from the headset; see my other post this morning.
So far no other problems with the TyTN.

Skipping happens on my TyTN mostly when the WiFi radio is on. When turned off, the music skips only every now and then.

Not in my case. Wifi is turned off, and I still get skipping every 10-20 seconds.

Find this registry : :idea:
HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/UseJointStereo (Dword:1)
Change the Value to 0
Also you can add a new registry to improve the quality:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings
Add : BitPool [Dword : 48] Maximum is 58

Yes, I've done these mods which set to stereo (why on earth have mono as default?) and select audio quality, but these don't affect the skipping.
Unless lowering the BitPool value will cure the skipping - but I want to keep it at 48 at least.
/POL
Check through my notes thread here. There's been some research going on with priority settings and specific bitpool min/max values. However, there appears to be more than just reg settings at work though. The entire device slows to a crawl too. My gut feeling is that this won't be addressed until HTC releases their first official update, rumored to be in a few weeks or so.
i have done that but still skips every 30 secs or so.
Interestingly, I could hear the same "tick" on my 8125 as well but it sounded like a slight scratch on a record. On the TyTN its magnified to this major dropout. I'm really thinking our only A2DP solution will be to wait for the updated ROM I'm afraid.
Let's hope they don't take the coward's way out and remove A2DP altogether as was done in several Operator's initial AKU2 release for the Wizard.
I think you guys should look into optimising your SD cards and trying the reg entries sleuth255 indicated. My A2DP seems to work fine with probably 99% skip free playing. I'm currently one floor above my Nokia HS-12W and am still connected to my TyTN ok in certain parts of the room. If i am right beside it or in the same room I dont get any skips at all; apart from when I lose or reaquire a GSM signal.
well, that's encouraging news efjay! Much better results than I ever got. Btw: are you running the newer DoPod rom onto your TyTN by any chance?
edit: nevermind; I just used the Wiki to crossref. If your signature is correct then you've got the standard TyTN ROM build running.
Yes im running the TyTN rom. I actually had the Dopod rom but apart from a few things in the extended rom wasnt too different so i flashed back to the TyTN one. A2DP works ok now, was listening most of the day and the TyTN battery even outlasted the Nokia battery.
Another good point in the Nokia's favour is you can re-establish a stereo connection without having to go to the BT settings - just push the Audio button and it reconnects for you and the music starts.

Some good news on my part! I've done all the mods suggested by sleuth255 - except lowering the BitPool value to 5 - I suspect that would decrease the audio quality too much - and I now have skipping only about once a minute. Much better.
How do I go about optimizing the (micro)SD card?

Check out this guide from Menneisyys
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17921
Or the short version - get SK Tools (trial version should be ok, if not it costs $13) and format your card but make sure the backup FAT table is disabled.
I used it with the default cluster size values and also have other registry tweaks applied and A2DP works; I am even able to browse via GPRS when streaming music.
A2DP and WLAN - no such luck!
It became obvious to me today that using a stereo Bluetooth headset while connected via WiFi is a non starter. Continuously skipping audio and the device hangs after a few minutes and needs a restart.
There goes my dream of listening to Internet radio over a WiFi connecIttion. It works over a UMTS connection but since my carrier doesn't have an unlimited data plan, that's an expensive proposition.
Didn't HTC test such an obvious scenario?
Bummer.
@efjay:
Ok, so I'm now up to speed on SD card optimization having read through Menneisyys' post on this. Now to the nitty gritty... I have a 2gig SANDisk card so FAT16 is pretty much out due to the huge cluster size that it would create. I'm going to eliminate my FAT backup, go with FAT32/8k cluster sizes. I forget how many entries a FAT32 table can have but if that won't give me a full 2GB then I'll bump the cluster size up to 16K.
One A2DP note however: I did test with an mp3 file located in main memory and there was no improvement in skipping, so I came to the initial conclusion that SD card access speed wasn't an issue.

Let us know how it goes. I am still getting skip-free playback via A2DP. If it doesnt work maybe the additional reg tweaks I applied to the system cache are what is making the difference.

I've found another issue with the wireless stereo profile - sometimes when a call comes in, pressing the call button on the headset will answer the call, but there is no sound (caller can't hear me and I can't hear the caller). To get the call going, I have to "disconnect handsfree" from the call in progress menu and then press the headset button again.
Anyone else seen this?

joint stereo is not mono
joint stereo is merely a way to improve compression efficiency -- and can even be used with lossless (stereo) codecs
so is there any progress? I have the same trouble with my Anycom BSH-100 .. it is skipping every 30-50s
thx
I want to buy this headset but I have some doubts about it and I thought you may help. (I have HTC Universal)
1. Does this headset really show the CONTACT'S NAME on display or just the phone number? If so, can I upgrade ROM or install patch to make it show NAME? I use Pocket Informant, if it matters...
2. Does the remote really work? With all player's software (usually use TCPMP). With my laptop on standby and closed (screen faced inside) can I simply make it start playing and foward etc??
3. Can I see the song's info on display? Like artist, song's name and all?
4. As a simple headset (on car use), is it good enough? easy of use, good sound quality on recieving and mic good quality on talking? Or is it just like "Speeker on" effect on Universal that I have to have my mouth gludded on display to talk and other person listen clearly (laptop mode)?
5. As a headset (for music and movies purpouse) is it good quality sound (better than original HTC headphones/headset that came with Universal (wired ones)?
6. I've heard there was a problem reconnecting headset stereo after a call (recieving I think). I've also heard that had o reconnect on settings... Is it true? Happens with all PPCs and all Stereo BT headsets? Or just with some brands/models? If this happens, I dont know if its worth the money, since I recieve calls a lot (would be boring to restore settings or resets...).
Can be fixed with upgrade of ROM or patch (If there is this problem with Univ).
7. Is it worth to trade a normal BT headset (jabra b250v) and stereo headset (wired that came with Uni) for this one??? It's kinda expensive... Will I be pleased or its just problems... wireless stuff??
8. how do I know if my ROM has AD2P and AVRCP. If no, how do I upgrade to it?
Please help me decide if its worth the buy!
Thanks

Hi!
I'm using the SE HBH-DS970 bluetooth headset with QTEK 9000 aka Universal
1 - It shows contact names provided you've JETware Hands-free Extension installed otherwise you only have contact numbers on display
http://www.jetwaremobile.com/index.htm
2 - The remote works very well with Conduits Pocket Player v2.8's AVRCP
http://www.conduits.com/products/player/
3 - Didn't notice it can
4 - Not sure use in car (I don't drive) but it works well when use for talking
5 - Sound quality fairs vey well and its slightly strong on the bass side and not too strong on treble (comparing to BLUETAKE iPhono mini 450Rx). Did not try with Universal's wired headset
6 - This issue applies to many headsets too. Only way out is to exit the music program and re-start it and everything will be fine
7 - Why have 2 when you can have 1 integradted one?
8 - So far only the latest Universal, QTEK 9000, ROM has built-in A2DP and AVRCP.
Hope it helps

Strange, I do not have the registry entry "Settings\". After "A2DP\", all I have is "Device1\", "Device2\" "Device3\", "Device4\".
I am using the tornado patch (not the Qtek ROM).
Anyway, I am using this Sony Ericsson headset:
- If I am playing music and a call comes in, the headset does not pick-up the music after the call. I have to shut everything down, and refresh the services of the headset.
- Usable range for stereo music is about 10-20 centimeters. So, if the Universal is on my belt, then the headset receives the music okay. Any further, and the headset does not receive the music. In other words, in my experience, the wired headset that came with the universal has longer range!!!
- The music title and contact names do not appear on the headset screen, but then I am not using JETware Hands-free Extension at the moment.
@FOSA: How is your experience, especially concerning:
- bt range (for music)?
- Resuming music after a call?
- I understand you are using the Qtek ROM (not the tornado patch)?

- 5m of open space is not an issue
- Not possible to resume music after a call, however, I just exit Conduits Pocket Player v2.8 and re-start the player again and everything (including AVRCP cotrols) work fine. NO need to soft reset and re-pairing. My AVRCP controls even work with my QTEK 9000's lid closed. All these made possible with Concuits Pocket Player v2.8
- Yes, I'm using the QTEK 9000 with latest A2DP ROM + the 4 regsitry entries mentioned above for smooth music
Thanks for the info.
I will have to try Conduits Pocket player, and maybe even upgrade my JasJar to the Qtek ROM (I am guessing that i-mate will not release any new official ROM updates for JasJar).

Hi skywriter,
The 3 registry entries are added using an improved A2DP patch available on this forum - can't remember where. However, if you know how to add these entries then there's no need for the said patch.
You can have different values after trying them out and get the minimum stutter/lag/hiss etc on your set

Where to buy
Hello!
I want to know where is the best place to buy this headset (in Europe).
Thanks
Deiota
I don't know if this place is the "best", but I bought mine from this online store in Spain with very fast service/delivery:
http://www.bluezona.com/index.php?o...18&PHPSESSID=9b2d60858e02b1e75bc53faace6b690f
They have several other models available too.
FOSA,
You seem to know your DS 970 pretty well. I have the same model and I love it I must say. I am not experiencing any hiss or reception problems except when my 9000 is in a case where the magnet is messing around with it in general.
However... I have the following issues:
- Turn BT on 9000 on
- Turn DS 970 on
Although Wireless Stereo Option in the pairing is unchecked the phone streams all sound to the headset. I have to go in and check/save and uncheck/save to disable wireless stereo.
Also I cannot get Caller ID to work correctly with the Jetware. I emailed them and sent them a log and they determined that the headset is using extra commands which is what is causing the problem. Probably will be fixed in a future release but for now, it doesn't work.
Mind you, I have tested thoroughly and did go to the trouble to backu and hard reset. Both problems persist after hard reset with only one number in contacts for test purposes.
Any ideas? (the wireless stereo bit it killing me..)
Other than that I have to say, it's extremely well behaved, stylish, handy and reliable.
Joanna
Correction: I tried the new beta of Jetware and it works fine (so far) with the CallerID checked in the Advanced Options.

I don't have this problem. Once paired my QTEK 9000 auto detects my HBH-DS970 the next time when I turned both on and 'Handsfree' and 'Wireless Stereo' options are always checked
RE
Aaaaaaa.............its not relaible
I uninstall and re-install JETware and now its not displaying name caller id
:roll:
FOSA my problem is not whether it's checked or not. I have chosen to uncheck the wireless stereo and use it only as a headset when I drive. It completely ignores the UNchecked wireless setting and still streams all sound (including incoming call ringtone) to the DS970 even though it shouldn't. Setting is unchecked and the minute I turn on the headset it acts as a wireless stereo. Have you tried this at all?
I have not tried uninstalling but 2 days later the beta still works. I have two more questions for you, well one really:
1. Does it scroll the whole name of the contact? Mine shows the number and then the name but not the whole name (which in Greece could be miles long). Just the first 10 characters. On the HBH660 I know it scrolls the name. I am not sure if this is a limitation of the headset or the software.
2. Uninstall and remove the settings from the registry. It leaves the settings behind in HKLM/Software/Jetware. Trying installing then and see what happens. I use the beta which will be released with the next week or so (or so they said).

thanks FOSA! i knew they came from somewhere... but i didn't know where. if i can just create them by hand that works too!
Background:
When jompao (his original thread on this is here) brought an interesting A2DP workaround to light I was intrigued:
Apparently there's this free, opensource taskmanager which, when running, corrects the Hermes skipping problem! So I tried it for myself and damn if it wasn't true! Not only did it allow my iPAQ stereo headset to operate w/o skipping but the non skip range on my HS-12W was doubled too!
So, I obtained the code and found out what was going on. Turns out, this free little gem of a task manager determines CPU usage by running an infinite loop thread (it does a "while(1)" for all you code jocks) at THREAD_PRIORITY_IDLE, then, based on a timer trigger, it periodically stops the thread and sees how much time it got. The more time it gets, the more idle the cpu being the rationale here.
btw: Thanks for generously donating your Taskmanger to the opensource community Yuichiro Ishitani!
Anyway, I said to myself "Heck Sleuth, you can build a service process that does this in about 5 minutes". So I did & now I listening to skip-free Jimmy Buffett on my iPAQ headset with my little A2DP fix service running in the background.
heheheheh.....
Installation Instructions
1. Transfer A2DPFix.cab from the attachment to your Hermes device
2. Tap on the cab to install. Note: you must install this to your device! The service dll can't run from extrom or your storage card!
3. When the installation is complete, reset your Hermes
4. Enjoy skip free A2DP!
Early implementor additional instructions
I had to change the service key to allow automatic start so you will need to manually remove the old key. You must do this before installing v1.0. Here's how:
1. Stop the A2DPFix service
2. Remove the entire HKLM/Services/A2DPFix key from your registry.
Latest Breaking News:
12/03/06
There may be registry settings, previously done in an attempt to work around the skipping problem, that are now hindering rather than helping. Changing quality and other A2DP settings with the Hermes registry Tweaker may actually contribute to this. If you are still skipping with a known good ROM/headset combination, please check your registry settings against these and report on your findings!
(all DWORD values are decimal)
/HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/BtA2dpSnd
remove any Priority256 value
HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/WaveDev,
Priority256=149
/HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/AudioGateway
Capability=37
/HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings
UseJointStereo=0
BitPool=58
MaxSupportedBitPool=80
Remove all other values from this key including SampleRate
Don't forget to reset your Hermes if you change any of these!

As promised, there's now a CAB based installation
ROM version dependency confirmed! This patch's effectiveness is inconsistent with the orignal v1.18 TyTN ROM. YMMV on this ROM for sure.
12/01/06
The success of this patch may also be related to the ROM version you're running. I have the latest TyTN ROM loaded and it has quite a few out-of-the-box performance tweaks which are also included in the latest Cingular and DoPod ROMS.
Known Good ROMs/Headsets
These ROMs are known to benefit from applying this patch:
TyTN v1.35 ROM
Cingular v1.34 ROM
In addition to the few headsets that used to work, the following additional Headsets now work with this patch (I'll add more as I find out)
SE HBH-DS970
Moto HT820
Logitech iPod Headset
HP iPAQ Headset
Jabra BT 620S
As always, Enjoy!
Tried it according to your instructions (imported the .reg with Total Commander), started BT and set my headset as Wireless Stereo (for some reason the TyTN doesn't keep the setting even when selected in the partnership settings.
And it still skips (drops audio) for me.
Is the service started? What A2DP headset are you using? Did you try the Taskmanager workaround I referenced, and if so did that work for you or not?

Done, still skipping. Although it looks like it's skipping a little bit less now. Also, the TyTN is completely unusable when music is playing, it is VERY slow to respond to anything other then the pause/stop and forward/backward buttons on my headset.

Yeah, that's normal with your ROM. You're on an original TyTN ROM. You'll even lose the digitizer occasionally with A2DP running. I wonder if this patch is ineffective on your ROM. I'm using the South African v1.35 TyTN ROM currently.
Edit:
Did you try the Taskmanager workaround? I'm betting that won't work for you either. Part of this patch's requirements may be upgrading to either the latest Cingular, DoPod or TyTN ROM. These ROMs have a quite a few performance tweaks that may just allow my A2DP patch to "take it over the top" from a skipping perspective.
What BT headset are you using btw?

I'm putting off upgrading as long as I can (don't feel like reinstalling all my apps all over again ) But it seems I might have to try that now.

Yeah, I know what you mean... I'm getting used to the routine now tho but it still takes a while. Flashing itself is less stressful now that I have a known good computer with a known good USB port which I use for flashing. The 20 minute Hermes flash process caused high anxiety for sure the first time I tried it.

guess I will bite the bullet tomorrow and upgrade, It's 2am here and that's not a good time to do anything that stressful.
Have any good links for upgrading?
Not really. Here's some tips though:
Practice safe flashing techniques:
1. Windows XP with nothing else running
2. Screen saver off, sleep mode off, powersave mode off
3. Use a rear USB port. Make sure activesync works ok on it.
Do pof's SuperCID upgrade first. See his thread in the upgrading section for how. There's good step-by-step instructions. I'd read through the whole thread (takes a while) first to be familiar with any pitfalls.
The current TyTN ROM can be found in the Wiki along with flashing techniques and recovery for common errors.
and finally: don't exit until the ride comes to a complete stop....
Excuse me but I'm fairly new to Tytn and Windows Mobile devices. The .zip file should it be renamed to .cab once downloaded or is this something you will upload later?

Thanks Sleuth! Upgraded and now I have no more skipping audio!
@jompao:
Sorry about this reply's delay: it's now morning here in the US Midwest. If you unzip the archive on your PC you'll find two files: the reg file and the dll itself. It's strictly for "early implementors" though so if you don't know what to do with these offhand, just wait a few hours and I'll have a full install cab posted. I have to code up a small program to start the dll automatically first.
@Hiryu: that's great to hear I'll add your jabra headset to the list of supported hardware. Btw: did the upgrade correct the problem that headset has with pairing or do you still have to go into bluetooth settings to get it to pair?

A big mahalo to you Sleuth!
Works great on the HTC v1.35 ROM to a pair of NBH-DS970's... one little skip while downloading over UMTS but fixed that by pumping up file caching to 4mb and audio buffer to 2000 msec on pocketplayer v3.01. No slowness whatsoever.
Email, internet, open and closing various programs all while jammin' to a little jeff beck's guitar shop...
Cheers
Damn! Streaming audio.... I'm jealous! No UMTS here yet

not to make you anymore jealous but i was streaming my xm radio off my phone... with UMTS it worked fantastic, and now with the patch there is no skipping
Hi all,
I get major problems with all WM6.1 german ROM's out there using stereo bluetooth headsets. I had no problem at all with same headset with german WM6.0. I have a skipping like once a second in other words it's not usable at all.
I tried already lots of registry settings described in this forum, changing the radio rom and also the A2DPFix nothing helps.
I would like to try a WWE WM6.1 ROM now so the developers of the german ROM's have something to compare with where stereo bluetooth is working. Can someone confirm a working stereo bluetooth headset with a WWE WM6.1 ROM and which ROM are you using? Another info would be nice if you needed to do some modifications like registry settings or the A2DPFix or if the ROM worked right out of the box.
Thanks for any info!
You can make work AD2P with most of WM6.1 rom using schaps configuration tool.
In bluetooth settings, set bitpool and maximum supported bitpool to 30.
You will have less quality sound but music is listenable.
The only feature I've not found in every 6.1 rom I've tried so far is activating bluetooth stéréo from the headset.
If someone knows a fix, please post.

HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings
UseJointStereo ----> 0
And try BitPool -----> 48
Get Luck !
Report your result, please.
Thanks for the hints .. sadly it makes no difference at all. Still skipping like once a second. Will try a WWE WM6.1 over the weekend if I got time. Thinking of FInixNOver WM6.1 V3.4
A2DP Success
Hi - I just posted details of a successful combination in another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401548
ROM: Akeo WM6.1 Diamond Edition
Radio: Radio 1.50.08.11
Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool:
Bitpool: 30
Max Supported bitpool: 30
Minimum Suported bitpool: 14
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
bitpool 30 is NOT successfull its crap ... add to this combination a2dp fix from Sleuth255 and pool can be upgraded to 40 ... but battery will drain faster ....

It's better than the audio being interrupted 3 times a second, which is all I had previously.
One man's crap is another mans manure.
I'l try the bitpool at 40 an see what happens.
