I've tried 2 apps and i have not been able to get them to work. I'm trying to get my music to play in my blue earpiece. I've tried Blue Audio and bluetunes and have not been able to get them to work... anyone else have any suggestions?
p.s
im not being cheap i have bluetooth headphones i just need a small earpiece to listen to music at work.
the quality is horrible from a BT headset or does that even matter...I have something on my computer that i'll post when I find it
The issue is not always because of the music player application.
Does your Bluetooth earpiece have A2DP support? If not, consider buying a new one that has, e.g., I listen through a Jabra BT8040 - no need to install any application to force an audio stream.
Forget it I think its one of the apps you tried

Well im using Jawbone 2.
Im not too concerned about quality because Im not going to have it on that loud.
I guess I may have to purchase a new earpiece to get that.... blah
it also works on my Blue Ant Q1, sounds good too. I didn't have to add any other apps or software

how i get mine to work is,i go to comm manager then set up bluetooth device,go to settings then advanced settings (additional setup options),then go to audio and enable play system sounds on a remote hands free device and it should work. hope that helps
Here is what you need to send stereo bluetooth to a mono bluetooth headset. I use it and it works great. You might have to play around with it for a bit to figure out how to work it. Just run the exe on your device and not on the computer. One exe sends the audio and one exe stops the audio.
bt audio
damn beat me to it james yes bt audio does work but i use a jawbone 2 & i route it through advanced bt settings in comm mgr i used to use it on my wing but iv graduated to my monster tp2
No need for BT app
On my TP2, there is an option in the BT settings to route system audio to the headset...this automatically plays my mp3's through my BT headset, mono or stereo. has worked well on any of the builds I have tried without needing to install any additional files or change any complex system settings.

haven't noticed that option before I remember some users were asking how to get the incoming calls ringtone and system sounds to play in their earpiece instead of on the phone.
nice find!
I have this issue with my HTC BT Headset which when paired and connected will receive all sounds including games and system sounds. Sometimes even the ringer will only sound in the headset and not on the phone (this happened at rare occasions).
I have edited the settings of my headset and unchecked the option for media but then it comes back again when I connect again.
Now, I want to be able to divert audio back to the device when for example I play a game or play a media clip. The only thing I see on the screen in the message that audio is being played on the BT headset.
I am sure there must be a key sequence to bypass this but I can't figure it out.
Sorry I have no solution, but just to say I have similar issues. My HTC headset picks up the audio from Copilot.... which I suppose is no bad thing in itself, except that the sound drops out all the time... which is pretty useless on satnav! Not sure whether this is a problem with the phone or the headset (whihc is otherwise working fine). I'd just like to switch off the A2DP feature too.
Is there a way to modify the bluetooth code so that the "ear peice" via "bluetooth" will also give you "music" etc....
I mean if the phone detects the ear peice and plays all the calls thru the ear peice..... why cant it be hacked to also play internet music....
Thanks in advance....
pm me a fix... flame in public...
Actually, I too would like to know if this is possible. Why can't it just be detected as wireless "headphones/headset".
Although I'm using an iPhone 4 so I'm sure that it'd be more difficult to do this if it is possible.
Should work

It depends on the activity the app code is running on the host device. All audio is able to be routed to the headphones. What kind of phone are you using?
It's not as simple as wired headphones. BT has something called profiles - each profile is for doing some particular thing - like transferring files, playing music, making calls, etc. For a particular feature to be supported, both the phone and the headset has to support that particular profile. Most android versions have support for most common profiles.
Calls are possible through profiles called HSP/HFP and stereo music is possible through profile called A2DP. Most of the mono headsets which are mainly for calling support only HSP/HFP and not A2DP - that's main reason you can't play music on most mono headsets. If you buy stereo BT headsets, they come with both HSP/HFP and A2DP - meaning they can support both calls and audio.
There are apps / hacks to stream music from an android phone to a mono headset through HSP/HFP. I've never tried any - you can look for those if you want to play music on your mono BT HSP headset.

Are you able to connect the device to a computer or tablet? I think it would depend on the drivers on the device you're connecting to. What are you trying to connect to? Does it detect your earpiece?
its a jabra bluetooth ear peice.
and theres several "mono" bluetooth apps on the market/play store.
I happened to try blue tooth mono router and it works fairly well.
seems to use aprox 3 to 5% of battery in aprox 15 to 20 mins.

Hi folks, I've been having this very frustrating problem with A2DP that I can't seem to find anywhere else on the forums.
My bluetooth headset (Nokia BH-905i) connects to my nexus 4 just fine, and I've been using it to listen to music since I get my nexus in january. But recently, every time I connect my headset, and I go to play any music or other sounds that play through the media channel, it comes out the speaker on the phone. In addition, when I use the volume slider I get the "speaker" icon instead of the "bluetooth" icon that I used to get.
My bluetooth headset has worked fine since the OTA update, it's just very recently (last week or two) that this issue has been happening.
The first time it happened, a simple reboot would fix it, now I can reboot and re-pair the headset all I want, it just won't work.
Has anyone else had this issue?
PS. I will also add that the next/previous track buttons still work, but the play/pause button DOES NOT! Very strange!!!
Am I seriously the only one with this problem?

What music player app are you using? That could be the problem right there. I sometimes have this problem with my JVC Arsenal head unit, but usually disabling and re-enabling bluetooth does the trick. Don't have to unpair or reboot, just toggle BT on and off.
Anyone know how to get the track info to transmit? It used to work with Apollo and Pandora, but it won't work with Spotify or anything else. In fact, it doesn't work at all on the N4
I use DSub, but I've tried google music, and also any other "media" sounds don't go through the headset as well ie: Youtube, games, etc.

have you checked the device profiles in the bluetooth menu? there is an option for phone audio, and an option for media audio, check them both
Yes I'm sure, I've also toggled them multiple times to try and get it working...
I also have this same problem. I'm using CM 10.1 nightlies
For some reason I able to pair my phone but not the audio.
In the Bluetooth settings though I only have the option for phone audio and not media audio. After checking on a couple of forums, it shows that my radio does support Bluetooth streaming through a2dp, but for some reason I cannot get it to work on my phone...
Edit:
It seems as though A2DP is broken in CM 10.1 as in stock android roms. I'm not 100% about this, but thats what it looks like.
Hi,
I do use AD2P audio a lot, and never had this issue (Sony MW1).
I m using exclusively AOSP or AOKP based roms (never use stock CM 10.1 because of how silly big is the navbar), but I can give it a shot during my next flashing session for testing
I don't have any problem pairing the audio. The checkbox goes and the headset actually beeps. It's connected, android just isn't sending the audio to the headset.
Me too

I've got the same issue.
I have tried with both jawbone and jabra headsets, no joy.
If I toggle bt on/off/on, connect the headset and then try playing music immediately I get ~1 second of audio over bluetooth before it goes silent.
I'm currently on PA 3.15 with moles kernel, but am going to try some other kernel/rom combos.
if anyone knows which logs i should be looking at i'm happy to upload them
Not quite the same problem, my music plays out of the phone speaker. Also I'm running stock rom.

If i wait more than 1 or 2 seconds after connecting my headset it comes out of the speaker also, as the bt media connection dies. I only get the little bit of audio if i hit play right after I connect the headset
I managed to find a very strange work around...
I installed this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5tYXhpc3Rhci5tb25vYmx1ZXRvb3RoZnJlZSJd
I turned on the app, and I could listen to music over mono mode (which sounds AWFUL). I then turned the app off, and when I changed the volume with the volume buttons I noticed the volume bar was displaying the bluetooth icon instead of the speaker icon.
My app was playing music, I didn't hear anything, but my headset was still outputting the characteristic 'hiss' of being in mono mode. So I went into the bluetooth settings and turned off mono mode, and now it is playing music through A2DP finally... We'll see if this problem occurs again and I'll see if the same process fixes it again. I'm just glad it's finally working again without resetting my phone.
I just wanted to update my post for anyone else who might have this problem in the future. I've performed this fix once before my last post and I haven't had to do it again, I've also uninstalled that app and everything is still working great.
It worked for me too!
Thanks to PickleHead and his workaround I'm listening again.
Thanks!!!
Media audio VS. Call Audio
Hi,
I have Samsung galaxy S3 with android 4.1.2 connected to my fordAudio BT device.
I am playing music using the original media player that came with the Android.
The BT connects quickly, but I can't hear the media I'm playing.
Recently I have discovered a "workaround":
When I disable the "call audio" (using the BT menu in settings) and leaves only the "media audio" checked, I am able to hear the media play.
If I re-enables the "call audio", the sound mutes immediately.
Does this helps to understand the issue?

I'm having exactly the problem described here, but this solution doesn't work for me. I have a Galaxy S4 and the bluetooth media audio sometimes works when I boot the phone up, but later it doesn't work. I tried this MonoBluetooth app and it doesn't seem to help. When I tell it to turn on the the mono signal, it says the media is disconnected even though the bluetooth module says it is connected to the AD2P device with media audio. On cases where it does connect, it seems to work, but in that case the bluetooth works with out this app fine.
I'm running 4.2.2 and see this on both the MDK and ME7 code base. I'm looking for a good soluton. I tried the Bluetooth Fix Repair on Google Play, but it can't seem to find my bluetooth configuration folders.

I have had exactly this problem for a couple of days with my S4 connected to my Jabra Freeway car speaker. Also in my case, disabling call audio makes the music pass through, but then I can't use the phone via the speaker which is sort of the whole purpose of the thing!
But I just found a simple workaround: I simply called my phone from another phone to check that phone audio passed through with both options enabled. It did. But it also cured the problem: After the call, media audio worked again - with both options checked.

I'd be interested to know if this fixes the problem for any length of time. Occasionally, and usually after a reboot, I can use the media audio, but then it fails when I try it again. Fiddling with the connections and apps sometimes makes it come back on, but usually only for a short while. While it is connected, it seems to stay connected.
Hi all --
So my 6p, Pure Nexus Rom, is Bluetooth connected to my 2014 Cadillac SRX. Everything is checked off in the settings for the connection -- phone audio, media audio, and contact sharing. I make and receive calls fine. I can play music over the Bluetooth connection. But I have a program called "Out Loud" that is supposed to read my texts and messages over the Bluetooth connection, and it doesn't seem to work. Waze directions won't read over the connection either. However, if I'm streaming music from the phone to the car, out loud and Waze DO work. It interrupts the music to read texts, etc. But if I'm listening to the radio or an SD card plugged into the car's SD card slot, nothing. So clearly the notifications are working if I'm streaming music, but otherwise, no go. Shouldn't the "Media Audio" connection cover all my phone's media audio, not just streaming music? Does anyone have any idea why it's not and what I might be doing wrong? Thanks so so much for any help in advance, I truly appreciate it.
Not sure if it's supposed to work any different from mine (2008 Ford Fusion), but the only time I hear anything is if Bluetooth is connected and my radio source is set to Bluetooth or if I receive a call and my phone is paired to the vehicle, then it'll override anything that I'm listening to allow me to answer the call through my car. I'm assuming this is still similar in nature to your vehicle. Maybe the app has an option whether you'd like to route sound through Bluetooth or your phone speaker instead (just like in the Waze app)? If it doesnt, maybe the dev could consider adding this feature.
Yeah, it's odd. I was on a diffeent ROM (had to switch because I was getting a lot of hot boots), and the texts were read aloud through the Bluetooth no matter if I was listening to the radio, or streaming music from the phone. So I'm confused why it's not doing the same on Pure Nexus.
It's all about the different bluetooth profiles. The music streaming portion of bluetooth has no real priority, it's up to the radio to decide if you're going to hear the stream. Now phone calls, on the other hand, is a different portion of the connection. The radio allows the phone to interrupt whatever you're listening to. For me also, if you hit the google voice search on your phone, it'll interrupt the radio to use the car's built in mic and speakers to interact. With that in mind, we know it doesn't just have to be phone calls per se., the voice search interrupts the radio (or whatever other source) just fine. The question becomes that of figuring out what apps you can utilize to cause the bluetooth connection to recognize an interruption. Personally, I'd love to see it for Maps given the scenario of my listening to the radio and not hearing the turn-by-turn prompts since I'm not streaming from the bluetooth source and the phone obviously won't play it out loud. I've done some research (of course as a non-developer) and have found that it's such a low-level operation that most developers don't bother with trying to make work. The only reason you happen to hear notifications while streaming is because you've actively preselected the option on your radio to hear whatever the phone wants to push out in its entirety.
Yeah, I just can't figure out why, with one rom, all my apps seemed to have the capacity to have the Bluetooth recognize an interruption no matter what I was listening to, while on Pure Nexus, as you said, I have to have selected streaming phone music in order for those notifications to play through the Bluetooth. I wish I could figure out how to give Out Loud that same priority. In theory, it lets you pick the audio stream you want to try ("Music, Voice Call, Alarm, or Notification"), but none of them work for me. Very frustrating.
From my research it appears:
1) it's a recognized quirk that has something to do with incompatibility with one of the protocols that Android uses.
2) when using BT & 'Radio' setting (i.e. listen to radio in car): the nav voice commands will either be mute or fade-in.
3) when using BT & the 'Streaming Media' setting (i.e. play streaming music from your mobile): the nav voice commands will work as expected
4) This or this may or may not help.
5) IOS has this issue also[/QUOTE]
