jointstereo is off.... sounds horrible (high pitched clipping)

I got the Motorolla BT headphones, paired them. With jointstereo = 1, i got mono sound, but there was no high pitched clipping. I disabled it, and set the quality to "exellent" via the hermes tweak program. I am getting stereo, but Im also getting very high pitched clipping sound, which makes any song virtually un-listenable due to the high pitched noise on the high notes. I also tried applying the reg values seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284974 with no apparent result.

I am using a SonyEricsson stereo BT headset and the sound is reasonably good. The only thing I tweaked is that I set the jointstereo key to 0.
Try to find the right combination of volume in both devices, it might improve things... Clipping could be in your headphones because the signal from the Trinity is too high?

No that wont/didnt help. Its there even at the lowest sound setting. Its really noticable on about 70% of the songs, the other 30% are more or less ok. I tried removing higher frequences via an EQ in TCPMP, but the clipping is present on all frequencies.
The headset is totally useless for skype as well. Its so choppy, you cant understand anything.
Why is trash like this released?

I have the very same problem with iTech S35 headset...
No way to find a right combination of BitPool value an MaxBitPool value...
The problem is the MS BT stack. In my previous PDA Magician I installed Widcomm BT stack whit excellent results.
Now I'm waiting for the Widcomm BT stack development, hope to solve the problem.
Look at Hermes forum. Superdave is working on it...

Im thinking of getting the Jabra headphones, because people claimed that they have no high pitched noise.

Tested (I have loads of other A2DP devices and a high-quality A2DP heapdhone - the Plantronics Pulsar 590A) the Trinity in stereo mode instead of the default mono. Awful, in no way better than AKU2...

Trying to use the DS-970 from SE, but when setting the joint stereo to 0, the clipping comes, unless I use bitpool as low as 30, and the sound is then terrible! *argh* And with joint stereo, the highest bitpool I can use is 34, more then this and it starts to skip... *argh*
Tried almost everything, but I can't get it to stream out full stereo! *argh argh*

I also have 590A. After manually setting joint stereo to 0 i got stereo but not a very good quality sound plus occasionally skip mainly when using headset buttons.
Today I did a hard reset and installed fit4cat hermes tweaks program. I enabled stereo, set the sound to Excellent, did a soft reset and... the sound is great, no more skipping. Much better sound quality than with the joint stereo hack alone.
Still not as good as the mp3 player on my se p900 but getting closer.
update: 5-6 hours of continuous music listening until now and still no problem. hermes tweak program did a good job for me

Skipping problem is easily fixed, while the high pitched clipping is not.
Its horrible.

Your problem is related to the headset you're using or maybe software version. I have no pitching sound issues.

Did the same with my 590A + Trinity (that is, behind the curtains, 58 to BitPool). Unfortunately, the same clipping in highs...
May be a firmware difference between our 590A. What's yours? Mine is:
Date code: A06
SW: SB

Hmm, I tried the tweaker and got a terrible sounding treble. Very compressed and metallic. I then turned it off and soft reset, but the terrible sound is still there! What are the original settings?
Also got Plantronics Pulsar 590.
Date Code: K06-B
SW: SB

Well, I just got the Jabra headphones.... same problem. Im very disappointed with this A2DP crap....
To handle a decent quality audio stream, you only need 128kbps of bandwidth. Bluetooth is suppose to handle 10x that.

I have the Motorola HT820 headphones and the cingular 8525. This combination also produces the high pitched noise when jointstereo is off. I am tempted to try flashing the firmware using the method here would help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276406&highlight=ht820

Chances are, you got the latest version (D), so flashing wont do anything. The problem is with the MS BT stack.

I am very pleased with the sound and electronical part BUT my headset plastic broke on both sides. The silver parts where the black plastic enters (so you can adjust the headset on your head) are both broken now. I can't believe how poor this plastic is. I also noticed other cracks appearing around the metal pivots.
Did anybody else experienced these problems?

In the meantime, I've discovered some headsets (for example, ALL Plantronics headsets) are plain incomatible with the MS BT stack, while some other headsets (for example, the Nokia HS-12W) arent.
This is why some people report excellent sound quality and some awful.

Any volume boost app for SYSTEM volume??

I am listening to streaming radio and transferring the sound to my bluetooth headset, but often even with headset, media player, and physical system volume turned up to maximum, it is barely audible.
Is there any app that works on the WM6 Touch/Vogue that will increase the overall system volume, rather than the call-talking volume, so that things like music and streaming radio can be made louder than the default maximum? Boost it higher than the built-in level?
Thanks...

I too have that problem. Anybody have any idea of where or how can you boost your speakerphone audio?

try using this.

Installed the cap on device, what exactly is this as I dont see any new program installed under programs.

That's because it's installed under the Settings tab. It's just a equalizer that can increase certain aspects of the sound

Does this increase the volume using a regular BT headset?
I have the Moto H700 and the volume is low when driving in my truck. I have the volume all the way up on the headset and I sometimes have problems hearing people.
It is fine as long as I'm in a quiet area, but the reason I bought the BT headset is to use it while driving since its safer than holding the phone to my ear.
I've already tried the audiopara.csv file and that increased the speaker but it didn't seem to affect BT.

I too have the same problem w/H700. I have searched high and low and have found there are many with this problem. It seems like it is a WM 6.1 issue.
Is there any possible way to increase the volume to the BT headset? This is a major inconvenience to many and I think it should be addressed by MS. Maybe one of the senior members here have some sort of tweak for this problem.
Thanks.

Wired Headset: Too loud music/Too low phone voice?

I've searched everywhere with no solution for this. My wired headset has a very loud music volume, but when I make/receive a call, the conversation voice is way too low that I can barely hear it (no mic problems though, because the other party hears me clearly).
Any ideas?

Anybody ?

with respect to the headset ,
1. the htc headset that comes with the hd2 is of very bad quality so don't use it
2. when talking to some one pres volume up and a volume controller will appear , adjust it ,it is low by default just put it to the max , it is a hidden controller not adjustable except during doing a call.
i also answered it on our group for general help

actually, the headset is quite good. the problem is the jacks driver. its output voltage is higher than allowed, many cheapo headsets and FM transmitters do not like this and overdrive then.

I have to agree that the headset is quite good, because the music volume is rocking-n-rolling, also the headset's microphone has a good voice quality, as the other party hears my voice loud-n-clear. The problem is - and only is - with the very low conversation volume.
This is kinda frustrating, lol

Hmmm .. Bump!

Bump again :s

Have you tried the 2nd hint of hoss_n2?

Yea, with no use. Again, the problem isn't with the System volume .. Music volume through the headset is greatly loud, it's just the other party's voice during a call :s

Alright, just found out that call volume using wired headset is working perfectly while running Android. Glad it's not a hardware/headset issue.
Mods, you may close the thread now.

Adjust A2DP Volume from phone?

Did a search, but "A2DP Volume" returns mainly headset reccomendations etc.
Just got a Altec lansing T515. Bargain at just £15 inc p+p!
Paired up fine with the HD2 and seems to work great so far (for the price).
My only dissapointment is that the volume controls on the phone do nothing to the volume of the headset/speakers.
I was really planning on getting some good use out of this wireless audio through a better amp and speakers but would really need to be able to use the HD2 as a remote control (Inc volume control).
Is there an app/utility/reg hack that will let me adjust the A2DP volume directly on the HD2???
Any and all advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

try it with windows media player and not the htc sense music player

Thanks mate, tried that.... same deal (almost).
When I adjust the volume inside WMP it still does nothing to the volume of the speaker/headset BUT when I press the mute button or lower the vol to 0% the sound on the BT Speaker DOES mute.
Also at one point I did get some funky 'pairing' problem where the wireless volume was changing using the HD2 volume rocker but the sound quality was terrible. Not sure what happened but I switched off/on bluetooth and when the devices paired again - the sound was back to good quality but the volume no longer worked.
Can anyone please confirm that I should be able to control the volume using the HD2 on ANY A2DP headset/speaker?
I'm currently using EnergyRom Maxsense 23xx 24th July.
Might switch to the 21July 23121 CHT ROM instead to see if that changes things.
But can anyone first please confirm that this SHOULD be working? or let me know of a regHack /cab/app I need to use or apply to get this 'remote volume' working?

Anyone help on this ^^^ please?

Same problem here with expensive Sony headset and reasonably priced JVC. Report it to HTC as a fault. No fix yet afaik

hmm well im getting my jaybird sportsband in a few days through mail, ill report in on if they work or not

This problem i have with all my bluetooth headsets ( i have had 3 ) and also have with the altec lansing soundblade (a bluetooth speaker - really cool)
the problem is that the volume control in software only effects the audio drive,a but A2D2 driver is on a different path so not affected.
For me has not been a problem because volume is always outputted at max via A2D2 and then i use volume control on the headsets or the speaker to reduce as required.
But i see if you have a headset without volume control then this can be a major problem.
Only method i did find to adjust volume via software was install SRSwow and in the options it is having 2 gain settings, input and output. Adjusting these does affect A2D2 volume.
I know its not a fix but it is a work around that may be usefull untill someone has a better option for you

Thanks very much for your input peeps!
rumpleforeskin: (Funniest name Ive seen all week lol)
Sounds like its not just a problem with my headset/speaker (or headset / ROM combo).
Ive got volume controls (which do work) On the headset adapter and on the speaker, but I REALLY want/need to be able to control volume remotely as I was planning to link the adapter to an amp without a remote control.
Looks like SRSWow might be the solution for now....I'll give it a try and report back tonight.
Thanks again for all your help chaps.

I actually fear this could be a demonstration the output audio is hardware wired and not software driven, thus meaning full incall recording will never be possible.

doubt it man, on the iphone 3gs on 3.0 u couldnt switch the volume of the headset through the phone but now with the 4.0 software u can , so its just a case of misssing software.

I use tcpmp and I can control the volume from the software while using my BT headsets (peltor)

Tried this ^^^, Works great for everything, thanks!
Only slight problem is a ~4 second lag between adjusting the volume and the change in actual volume.
Dont suppose there is any tweak to remedy this??
Thanks again for the help.

Increasing Bluetooth Headset Volume HD2

Hi i am currently using a Jabra BT530 and i find the volume too low despite cranking it up the max.
i am using the latest radio 2.12.50.02_02 radio and energy Sept 2 rom.
its using the Widcomm bluetooth stack. the voice quality is very clear but
both
1. volume i hear is low
2. the other party's volume is also low
i have also updated the latest firmware for BT530
any registry tweaks i can make to increase the volume?
cheers!

If you are willing to spend the money I recommend a custom ear piece. I tried the ha cks and none real work. With my custom ear piece I can set the volume level on the lowest setting and it is still plenty loud.

does this apply for talking? or only music??
i was only really looking for talk as my headset is mono.......

Same thing for me on both my Jabra Extreme and my Cardo Scala rider Q4. To low on calls and to loud on music.
Anyone?

I am experiencing the same problem with my HTC touch cruise and Cardo Scala G4. My phone is also my GPS and Music player. Both GPS and Music sound loud and also scale up and down to compensate for wind noise. The phone portion does not. It is very quiet and is only usable when there is no other noise, basically indoors...
Anyone know how to up the in call output for bluetooth in WM6.5?
