I found this tip on another forum.
Try installing this taskmanager, start wmp and then the task manager, close any apps you don't need to use and then set it to monitor system load.
http://www.iaccarino.de/silvio/ppcstuff.htm
No more skipping on my HBH-DS970! Perhaps it works for other stereo headsets to?
I'm listening now with the "Excellent" setting in Hermes Tweaker. Before launching this taskmanager as per above music would skip at least every 20 seconds - not now, no skipping and quite nice audioquality, it's so sweet!
I hope that there might be some clue for you tweaking gurus how to perhaps implement something perhaps in the Hermes Tweaker that does the same thing as running this Taskmanager.
why no body respond to this thread since the whole forum is talking about solving bt stereo skipping problem? And this guy here said this problem is solved. Because nobody believe this is true? i can confirmed this is real. This method really solved the bt skipping problem. so what the hell you all waiting.
Faster download it and update the wiki!!! thanks
You can also use Magic Button...
I've never had a problem with A2DP skipping.

I must say I'm very suprised to at the low interest! Where are the gurus that can figure this out and perhaps use it in the Hermes Tweaker or as a way of finding out how to improve things even further.

I'm sorry but you have misunderstod this thing. I don't need a taskswitcher, but by using it as I mentioned above the probelm with skipping audio that most people experience with stereo bluetooth headsets are gone.
If you never had a problem with stereo audio skipping, what headset are you using? Have you used the Hermes Tweaker to improve the A2DP audio quality? Set it to Excellent and I think you will hear some skipping if you don't run the program mentioned.

Nice to hear it works for you to, great audio! What BT headset are you using?
As a workaround, its a bit kludgy.... What I am doing is researching the reasons why it works as an insight into the root cause. Perhaps that taskmanager's developer could enlighten us as to what he's actually doing to "monitor system load". I might fire him off a message on this ITNF.... If it doesn't slow down the TyTN drastically, I could develop a service that just does this in the background.
At any rate, I'll be loading up the fix today to play around....

Great to hear!!
Tried it, installed the Task Manager, set the BT audio quality to Excellent with the fit4cat Hermes Tweak tool and I still get skipping.
Is there any difference between using Windows Media or PocketMusic to play audio?
I have the Jabra BT620s headset.
Well, this solution does help the skip but does not eliminate it on my iPAQ headset. The problem sounds more like a scratch on a record now than a full breakup and as such is more bearable. Perhaps theres a way to tune this further with A2DP registry settings. I'm running a bitpool of 58 with maxbitpool set to 80 currently.
Damn.... As I was writing this, the skipping just stopped! WTF ????
Maybe A2DP just chose a different bitpool value. Everything's running perfectly now!
edit: the skipping returns when I quit the taskmanager and stops again when I run it so the taskmanager is definitely involved here.

I don't know what bitpool the Hermes Tweaker sets, but setting it to good prouces a lot of hissing sound, going to "Excellent" it sounds very good on the HBH-DS970.
@Moskus: plz elaborate on how you're using magic button to correct the skipping problem? Also, what BT stereo headset are you using?

Did you also run the Task manager and set it to monitor system load, so you see the graph on the screen?
Yes I did.
I tried plying audio with Windows Media and PocketMusic, both have the same problem. Music plays and at random intervals it drops out (silence, but audio plays) after a few seconds audio resumes.
edit:It does however look like it is skipping less when I use the Task Manager.
What you stop ?
I installed also and i have same skip problem ...
Tell me one think ... after a soft reset, what programs you stop on task manager ?
I stop all prorams but i have a lot in the process tab also.
Can you post your reg values and where in reg must put that values please ?
Thanks
I tried it and I can get no skipping with bitpool set at 48. i cant go higher. This is better than before. But I have another issue. I just upgraded to the 1.35 rom, but b4 i had the cingular. Over the tytn is zippier with the new rom, but in both cases a2dp dies (even with the new kludge) if my maxsupportedbitpool is greater than 30. I presume this limits the bitpool at 30 anyway.
Also it may be me but it seems when i first start p the taskmaster it shows CPU running about 15-20% higher than after a few seconds of running it. Does it somehow kick in some other mode? Finally I guess this makes sense but the CPU works harder with higher rate encoded mp3 files (with 320kbps files it was running at 70-80%, with 192kps files at 50-55%). Does this make sense (I never thought about it b4).
Finally with bitpool set at 30, i can listen to internet radio (virgin UK!!!) over wifi and use bt headphones with no skipping, as long as task manager is running. Could not do that b4. But sound is less than perfect.
No Doubt, it is good discovery, I had Wiki stereo BT headset, It is working perfectly while set Medium, high or excellent in A2DP profile (Fit4Cat) alongwith Task Manager running in background (Minimize), But if I do not start task manager in parallel, The default skipping problem come back.
Basically, My skipping was ok since I bought Nokia HS12w, But Now I am in position to use Wiki stereo HS, as Wiki had long battery life then Nokia. Of course LCD & some other are plus in Nokia HS12W, But LCD does not have major role as Caller ID BT stakes are not working yet. Therefore WiKi is still good Choice if used for stereo MP3.
Thanks . Jompao . to make my stereo BT HS alive. BTW It is observed unmatched stereo Quality if set to excellent (no distortion)

I didn't kill any processes, just shut down tasks Iike active synk or so. I have noticed when playing through speakers CPU load is like 17%, as soon as I turn on bluetooth and headset connects it goes to 100% a second or two then stabilises around 70-80% so you don't want a ton of extra tasks running at the same time.

Did you try to lower the quality setting with Hermes Tweaker or even turn off the A2DP tweak?
I've got the tmobile MDA, it plays back AAC+ files great using TCPMP when not using bluetooth, but I recently got my first bluetooth stereo headset and I guess bluetooth must eat alot of cpu b/c AAC+ playback becomes choppy. Has anyone here been able to get smooth AAC+ playback using bluetooth on the HTC Wizard, and if so what did you do to make it happen? I tried another app called gsplayer but that made it even more choppy, and also tried fiddling with the buffer settings in TCPMP but made no difference.
Since I'm a bluetooth newb, I've got a couple more questions while I'm at it. Right now when I want to connect my bluetooth set to the phone I have to:
1) press comms manager button
2) click bluetooth settings
3) go to "devices" tab
4) rightclick my bluetooth headset and click "set as wireless stereo"
Now that's really a pain in ass in my opinion just to connect a headset. Is there an easier way?
BTW, is there a way to make Windows Media Player mobile to playback AAC+ files with the "+" settings? It plays them but sounds like 22 khz, I was wondering if someone has done a hack or something so it recognizes the full "spectrum" of aac+ files.
Sounds more like RFI interference to me.
Is there a wifi network nearby or is the wifi on the phone turned on at the time? Bluetooth uses the same frequency.
Pretty sure It's not an interference problem because it can pipe mp3 music over bluetooth just fine. I know aac is much more cpu intensive to decode compared with mp3. Are you able to listen to aac+ over bluetooth on this 200mhz smartphone?
FYI, there is a wifi network but I have wifi turned off on my phone.
My reason for saying that is that you said it plays back AAC just fine when not on Bluetooth. The other explanation I see being that transmitting data over bluetooth is also CPU intensive and that the two together are too much. But that's just a theory.
No, I've never tried AAC. The few AAC files I've ever gotten I immediately converted to MP3.
But you're right, mp3's play fine over bluetooth. Unless I get too close to my wireless router downstairs, then I get choppiness and skips like you mentioned. However, I do have my wifi signal strength amped up to increase the range.
I managed to solve the problem by overclocking the cpu as described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271012
I'm running at 252 mhz now and AAC+ playback is smooth over bluetooth and the system is stable, and feels overall snappier now. But still if anyone knows a solution w/o overclocking I'd like to hear it.

switching to a player requiring less CPU for AAC+ decoding may be of help. If you followed my articles in the General forum, you already knew the answer: most importantly, Pocket Tunes. Kinoma Play may also turn out to be OK, but it consumes more CPU (but still less than TCPMP)
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350786 for more info and, again, do follow my articles.
Not looking to spend the asking price for Pocket Tunes or Kinoma Play, but thanks anyway for the suggestion. In your first post you described mplayer's cpu usage as "17%(!) for HE-AAC" which seems low to me, but you also describe the player as useless. That post was dated from 2005 however, so I was wondering if things have improved in 3 years. And I think I read somewhere that the Windows Media Player mobile for WM6 has AAC+ support- is that true? I'm reasonably satisfied with TCPMP except that I can't use use the media control buttons on my bluetooth phones to control it, so I'm keeping an eye out for something better (preferably free, but I'd be willing to shell out $10 to $20 on a good app)
I recently upgraded from a Nokia N95 to a Touch HD. I've been trying to get my Sony DRBT21 bluetooth headphones to work with the touch HD. The phone pairs with the headphones, but the sound quality is poor with no bass and sounds crackly.
Additionally when I turn off/on the headphones, only the headset and microphone profiles connect back to the phone, not the A2DP stereo part. The only way I've found to get it to reconnect is to repair them.
Any idea if this is a known issue with A2DP headphones on the Touch HD? I'm not expecting to get brilliant audio quality, but as it is right now with crackles and distortion it isn't worth listening to.
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can fix or optimise this?
Cheers
Was the device properly paired? Were you prompted for the PIN? If not, do so manually by going to Bluetooth settings and pair the headset from there.
As for the A2DP not being available when reconnecting, this seems to be a known issue as I experience this intermittently with HTC's own Bluetooth and another third-party one, too. This issue was also observed on my previous HTC Polaris! A workaround for this issue for me is to power off Bluetooth and then power it back on: not a good solution!
It prompted for the PIN which I entered, and looks to be set up correctly. The main issue seems to be the background static when listening to music (hissing and crackling). Is there anything in Advanced config that could be tinkered with to try and alleviate the problem?
This won´t help you:
My Motorola S9 and HT820 (Both A2DP/AVRCP) working fine with HD and Diamond. Also I had some difficulties reconnecting the first times, due to the not used pairing-PIN. The motos doesn´t need it. The HD and the diamond needed some time to accept this
Now they reconnect as Hedset and Stereoheadphons.
Maybe there is another BT-Master (your old phone) active that occupies the A2DP connection with your headset.
I have one HD and S9, sometimes it's a little hard for them to connect but the sound can be very good, the only problem is that with high BitPool values above 30 (medium quality) it's very easy to break the sound when the HD is in our pockets and we are outside the house.
hi, im using the same headphone with you. you got that cracking noise with no bass because it's playing via the headset function, not as stereo headphone.
try disable the heatset option in the bluetooth, then open your music player and try again.
And yes, when u turn off your headset improperly. i.e. turn off from the power button, and not through bluetooth -> disconnect, then turn off... you will have to go to setting -> set as stereo headphone...
I had a play around with Advanced config and found that if I change the max bitpool from 30 to 50, the crackling and static disappears. It seems better now. Many thanks!
Edit: Changed to Max Bitpool 80 and Min 65 and the quality is brilliant. Found some further information from a post on another site (PPCSG) which may be useful to any with a similar issue:
Using ACT (Advance Config Tool), go to BLUETOOTH:
*below are my settings->
-Use Joint Stereo: Yes (default)
-Bitpool: Very High
-Max supported bitpool: 80
-Min support bitpool: 65
-Sample rate: 48000Hz
*My settings may not be the best, therefore you may want to trial and error.
The following shows the named values for the A2DP\Settings key.
By default, A2DP uses a bitpool of 48. A lower bitpool value improves system performance. Increasing bitpool to a higher value causes an overhead on Bluetooth and system resources.
Microsoft suggests the following bitpool values for optimal buffer sizes.
30 - Low audio quality
40 - Medium audio quality
48 - High audio quality
58 - Excellent audio quality
-The maximum reported bit pool value, which can be negotiated with the peer device. Default value is 80.
-The minimum reported bit pool value, which can be negotiated with the peer device. Default value is 14.
-SBC sample rate to use. Default value is 44.1 KHz.
least of your worries...
what bothers Me more is that the old A2DP bug from the HTC Diamond has made its way to the HD ROM, in that if you listen to music via A2DP and recieve a phone call, you take that call and end that call then your music continues playing through the phone speakers! You have no idea how embarassing this is on a train!
that doesnt happen on mine, go straight back to my headphone again...
Even though it doesnt happen on mine, to be safe I plug a dummy headphone jact to the phone so even if bt gets disconnected, no sound goes through decice speakers. Makes me feel comfortable on the train. This was also an issue with Cruise which was addressed by a hotfix later on.

Tried that, and the difference is staggering!
I can now confirm that it isn't a hardware issue, that these phones (Sony HBH-IS800) are capable of sound quality just as good as other Sony in-ear jobs. Thanks for that!
Now, all I have to do is try to sort out the drop-outs. It seems as though the slightest barrier can cause drop-outs, for instance, putting the phone in my jacket pocket, or passing my jacket sleeve in front of it. Not sure whether it's the particular material of my jacket, or the metal in the buttons, or what, but it's hugely irritating.
Funnily enough, seems to make a difference if I have the connecting wire behind or in front of my neck. More to follow on this one....

noise ?
For people using the HD and motorola S705 as bluetooth A2DP : do you have also an annoying background noise when listening to quiet music ? Or before the sound starts. You know a noise like pffffffffffffffffffffff
HTC P3600
Hello,
I already installed the tornado_a2dp.cab on my PDA HTC P3600 with WM5. but I can't sincronize MP3 (Windows Media Player or TCPMP) with my headphones Nokia BH-206.
Anybody help me to solve this problem?
The mp3 sound only worked (10seconds) in Windows Media Player when I press the button to do a call
Hi.
I have done the changes mentioned in this thread and got much better sound when listening to music.
But i still have a static noise when im in a call.
Is there a way to fix this?

I am having the same problem as you on my HTC Incredible. Any idea of an app that lets you configure those settings for Android?
I am trying Touch HD with a Jabra 620s, A2DP (stereo headset profile), but I suffer occasional music skips.
I have read numerous thread about this problem, and habitual registery fixes like Priority256 etc.. doesnot seems to work with Touch HD.
With Bitpool=30 I have no skip, but sound is awful.
With Bitpool=40 I begin to skip. JOINEDSTEREO=1 helps a little.
I have not tried all Bitpool values below 40 (painful, softreset etc..) but Bitpool=40 is minimum quality IMO.
I tweaked Priority256 (/HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/BtA2dpSnd) down to 1, with not much improvement.
I noticed also turning Wifi off helps, but it is no sufficient.
Does anyone of you use A2DP ? Do you have problems ? Thanks for your help.
i use it with the Sony Ericsson DS980 and i dont have any problems at all.. the only thing i notice is that the screen turns on every time i change the song.. any way to get rid of that? want to save battery lol.. ..
I get skips too. Haven't figured a solution yet.
I'm using Moto S9 stereo BT headset, I have the same problem......
And I noticed, when I start play music, and press the powerbutton make the HD enter the blackscreen mode, the quality is good, and music play very smooth, but if I press powerbutton again make the HD back to normal status, and screen on, big stutter occured, and after some seconds BT lost connect with HD......
It's a little outdated, however have you used Sleuth's A2DP fix?
i always got skips with a jabrabt620s and a trinity...well you can minimize it - but never get totally rid of the problem....this is an A2DP limitation, sensitive to EMI like wifi etc.
My suggestion: go to wires...
Skipping?
I've been using a Votager 855 A2DP headset for 6 or so months with Pocket player. It's an excellent application, complete with A2DP compliant equalizer.
I listen to head banging music, but it never skips...but maybe it does and I just don't notice between the bangs.
In another forum several months ago a person or two took up my suggestion on the PP app, and had good results with a stereo BT headset.

I've seen it, but not installed it for two reasons :
1) It isn't validated for WM6 nor for Touch HD
2) It seems to eat CPU time too much, according to certain posts
Thanks for the tips anyways. If someone more daring than me installs it on Touch HD, keeps up informed.

A lot of people have problems with A2DP, but a lot too have none. I'm pretty sure problem comes from poor BT stack, not A2DP technology itself or BT broadcast / EMI problems. I've almost the same skipping rate with my headset 30cm from my HD, than 5 or 8m from my HD.
Your suggestion is wise, but I'm eager to make my Christmas present functionnal..

I've just downloaded it and tryied it. For now, no skip at all !!! (with BitPool=42) This application seems to be very optimized for A2DP.
I keep you informed in this thread if this resolves my issue. I want to increase Bitpool to 50 or more to have optimal quality (I listen classical), and I hope PP will handle this datarate.
Thanks for this excellent advice audscott.

dear all,
i remember searching up for ad2p anti-skip quite a few months back.
my conclusion was the following settings:
jointstereo -> turn on
samplerate -> 48000
remove all bitrate settings
then all should be well.
The previous settings that involves bitrate, priorit256 are meant for wm5 devices.
in wm6.1, most of these are redundant. in my case, the above settings works perfectly on my itech blueband pro. ad2p and avcrp works well with the default player or with wmp.
Where can one find these settings? I have looked high and low!
***Doh! Found them... HD Tweak is my friend!***

I also have iTech BlueWhatEver and it works better, but still ones a few minutes sound skips
Also how to prevent phone from waking up from standby when I press pause/ff/rew button? Because it's ****ing annoying, I have to manually turn phone back off, so avcrp is totally useless if I have to touch the phone.
I suggest you lower the bitrate to 44100. 48k is useless since your mp3 are in 44.1kHz and you will save some CPU, bandwith
Jointstereo = 0 is prefered for quality purposes.
Then the bitpool ... this is where it gets tricky because every headset have their own limitations.
When i use it with my sony ericsson HBH-IS800 I can go up to 48.
If I use another device I need to lower it to 40.
The "CPU" of you headset needs to be taken into account.
The touch HD have no difficulties encoding SBC in realtime in high bitrate, the issue comes from the headset itself not able to decode SBC fast enough according to the bitpool you chose.
So there's nothing you can do except trying another BT Stack (that can have better SBC encoding algorithm) or changing you A2DP headset.
I love my HD2 but the a2dp is awful....it uses the widcomm stack I understand?
I have put a linespeed reg setting for 256 in but it's still crap.
If I'm in my car listening to music, it still occasionally skips and the quality is extremely poor. Also, when I have GPS running at the same time, for some reason, the instructions are really crackly sounding over the music. It actually hurts to hear them....
How can I make this right??
i`m using it without problem... only thing is built-in music player... it skips sometimes
music and GPS simultaneously thru A2DP?
You may try setting the line speed to 320. I've been running at this from the beginning, since that's what I also used with my TP2. Though I wouldn't expect it to make a world of a difference, but why not? I'm quite happy with the audio quality at the moment, though it may not be exactly as good as with my TP2 (or maybe I just remember wrong). I'm using Nokia BH-214 BT-stereo receiver (BT 2.1 + EDR) with Sennheiser CX400-II.
Unfortunately I've no experience with simultaneous GPS and A2DP music on my HD2, but I think I recall from my TP2 that the quality was not too great.
I found a huge improvement when I turned the WiFi off
Cheers aBE-One. I tried 320 and it started skipping again!??! 256 seems the most stable, but it has this really strange thing that... the sound quality is fine, then it may skip half way thru a song and it's as if the mp3 has gone from 320Kb's to 96Kb's. I have to reset the phone.
Gajet, I never use WiFi!
Surely this phone can stream A2DP to a decent quality and more than a single audio stream. My old Omnia did it perfectly without any changes needed. Pooh Any other ideas?
i also have the bluetooth problem. where do i have to add the linespeed setting in the registry?
Yeah me too. Skips like mad. Also it wont sync via bluetooth to my laptop. Spent 4 hours trying to get it working.
I have even updated the firmware on my parrott car kit.
Rang O2 today and may send the phone back as without A2DP working, the phone is practically useless for me.
There must be a tweak somewhere!!
Oh and also, I can no longer send contacts to my parrott kit.
My Orbit 2 did it automatically.
YOu would think they would take these things into consideration!
I have upped the LineSpeed to 320 as well, it gave me better results than the 256. For those who don't know where to put it:
HKLM / Software / WIDCOMM / Plugin / AV
Make a Dword value called 'LineSpeed' and give it a dec value somewhere between 64 and 512. The higher the value, the better the quality, but the player can start skipping or acting weird. I found 512 to be too high.
I also had a skipping problem, the player would intermittently skip a beat (or two) in a song, more so above 320. I then did the Wireless enable n-speed hack, and now everything is fine, although wifi is turned off. Strange, but it works for me. Again, for those unfamiliar:
HKLM / Comm / BCMSDDHD1 / Parms --> change 11nModeDisable setting to 0
Now the A2DP sound quality is fine (it was terrible before the LineSpeed setting), and it doesn't skip. I have a Parrot MK6100 btw. Syncs with the phone just fine too.

Oooh I haven't tried this hack yet. I'll give this a go! I wonder if there's a way to up the amount of simultaneous audio streams? Perhaps that's why when I listen to music and have GPS, the instructions are very crackly but the music is okay....
No - still nothing Any other ideas?
The crackly sounds are copilots fault, their sound files are just too loud. I normalised them all in audacity and now they are fine. I've attached the emily ones, they go into the:
storage card/copilot/speech/en-gb/emily/
you should probably backup your existing files. A2dp music and speech then works perfect!
edit: I also volume levelled all my music files when syncing using mediamonkey, it helped a lot. (I keep all my music in lossless)
Ahhhhhhhhh you beauty! Actually I noticed that when I turned down the volume in igo slightly, it worked fine.
I like Emily, I'm using yours and it's brilliant. Co-pilot should have independent volume control like tomtom/igo....grrr
Thanks so much

I'm new to registry editing, can you please explain this further to me?
Thanks!
Nevermind, I got it right
Just right click, new Dword, simple.....
When I try changing 11nModeDisable to 0 it just says Access is denied.....
Nevermind, forgot to unlock registry, sorry for messing up the thread
Anyway, changing it made the sound quality alot better
The Dutch (NL) Saskia voice normalized for copilot live v8 (-3dB)
- Converted ogg files to mp3
- Used Mp3Gain to decrease all files by -3dB
- Converted mp3 back to ogg files

H! Hope this treath is not abandoned...
I set my HD2 has U've suggested but with linespeed value setting at 320, no audio at all from my Motorola S705. At 256 pretty sound but lot of skips. At 240 seems stable but quality is not so good.
How it's possibile? U've a HD2 too.
Plz help...
There is one more thing, for the skipping - disabling handsfree profile for your phones might help too (helped for me a bit - using Nokia BH-503 headset for a year now). And when incoming call comes, you just click on headphones on pick up button and they auto-reconnect to device (at least for me).
