I have a stereo AD2P BT headset, the Abe BT 55F (no built-in mic - speakers only) that pairs sucsessfully, but I get no audio. All audio still comes out phone's speakerphone.
Abe BT 55F Specs here:
http://www.abe-hk.com/english/products/8044/8044.htm
The specs say it supports AD2P stereo, but can't seem to get an audio to play on the headset after successfully pairing it with my XV6700 running a PPCGeeks WM6.1 ROM. I cooked in acbToggleBT 0.8 (Description: Toggles the audio gateway) thinking that might enable the audio. But I'm thinking this might be for mono BT headsets.
I thought AD2P headsets worked pretty seamlessly on WM6.1?
I then tried BTAwm6.cab, another BT audio gateway program, but that didn't work either. I did previously get my now lost "mono" Jawbone to work using BTAwm6.cab, but that was several cooked ROMs ago, so who knows if it would work now.
Anyway, any suggestions?
Maybe I'm just not understanding how to toggle between the phone's speakerphone and the BT headset? I know for some mono headsets, you had to first activate a Voice Command by pressing the headset button. Not sure if that applies to stereo headsets with no microphones (no Voice Command capability).
somewhat working
Ok, I got the audio to work "somewhat". I had to go into Settings, Bluetooth, right-click on the BT device, and choose "Set as Wireless Stereo". Then play an audio file. Duhhh on my part.
Now the problem is the audio is very choppy. I know I read a fix somewhere for that. Anyone? Plays for 1s, then random 5-10s of silence, then plays 1-1.5s
update on A2DP
Update:
The default Microsoft BT stack on my WM6.1 ROM resulted in very choppy audio. Mostly silence. If I paused the music, waited, then clicked play, I'd get 1/2s - 1s of audio. Sometimes none.
The solution after much trial & error (including trying several registry suggestions) was to install Helmi's Universal Broadcomm Stack (Test):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-291639.html
Then the audio was perfect!
Unfortunately, this stack is 7MB when installed and I don't think it uninstalls the Microsoft BT stack, which no doubt also takes ~7MB of memory.
Didn't try installing to my Storage Card, but I assume it would fail since a critical system component. I don't see this popular BT stack in any of the "pre-canned" ROMs. It would be great if I could simply use BuildOS and check a box for this BT stack and uncheck the Microsoft one. Thus, I wouldn't be using 7MB x 2 (14MB) of RAM - only 7MB. Again, just a guesstimation.
Anyone know how I would go about cooking Helmi's Universal Broadcomm Stack and not the Microsoft one using the BuildOS tool? Or do I have to cook my own custom ROM (and read up on how to do that)?

Where can i find the A2DP BT patch for magician,
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33532
Does this CAB work on the orange (out-the-box stock ROM) M500?
I have tried but it does nothing?!?
I installed it on my M500 when I had it but never got around to using it.
Anyway, it looks like a new version is available, go to this thread for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=52312
thanks but it looks like there is no new version yet, just a description of bug fixes (no CAB).
I tried the original patch, which even though it installs and runs, I can't pipe any audio to my H3 headset, which I'm beginning think does not work for BT audio streaming.
it doesnt work with mono BT headset ...
Has anyone try the bluesoil Stack? does it have headset profile?
I really want every BT headset to have A2DP profile, even the one side one....
Those people that have the Cyberon Voice Commander installed (available from dopod ext rom) can get audio out via BT headset.
Locate one of the bt audio toggle programs, can not remember source, but have got one that contains btaudiotoggle and btaudioon and btaudiooff.
Enable the bt audio so that the speaker of your bt device is definitely active.
Rename Program Files\Cyberon\VoiceCommander\VCStatic.Ini to any other name.
Then start voice commander via your bt device. a message will appear saying Unsupported Device or equivalent. Cannot remember whether ok needs to be pushed or whether this kills the audio. will update wheb heaset charged again.
At this point, audio should be available via the bt device.
This works for WMP and TomTom.
If all works well, may write a little wrapper prog to automate this.
Please test and let me know of other workarounds.
nope all the renaming does is to miss out the helpful prompts. i still can't get to mouth thru the bt headset
Hello @ all
I get a new Headset from Sony DR-BT20NX.
It works nice with the telephone, but now I also want to play my music.
I tried to install the cab from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263735
But only the Bluetooth headset has a new entry in the Bluetooth-device-folder.
"Wireless stereo"
But nothing happend.
I did softreset, and on/off and so on...
But I have the feeling, that something is missing.
And what is AKU2, and where can I get it for my XDA NEO with german O2-properties
Thank you very much,
Peter
Download VjVolubilis application, and install on the device. After turning BT on, press the AGOn icon and the audio output will be transferred to the BT headset.
NB. For me only works if Volubilis is installed on device not on storage card. My headset is Motorola H500.
Hi, thank you...
The tool is great,
but no way to enable Audio-Gateway.
When I click on it, it takes a while and then the message appears:
- Bluetooth On
- AG Audio failed
Maybe, there is something missing on my device???
Nobody here with the same problem?
Thnx Peter
I really don't know why it is not working for you.
The only thing that comes to mind is either headset incompatibility, or the fact that I had added a2dp to my AKU2.0 Rom before installing VjVolubilis.
Maybe you can try to install a2dp if not already installed.
I don't think it is related to a2dp. I was using VjVolubilis for Skype calls without any problems long before I installed a2dp on my AKU2 rom... Maybe its a hardware problem?...
I have tested this. You just need to go into the bluetooth preferences for your device, enable 'headset' and disable 'wireless stereo'. The sound quality is terrible in comparison to the A2DP module. Don't expect music out of it.
HTC p3600 Trinity WM6 rom from LVSW and ext rom from AX3L. I have 3 different bluetooth headsets. I am running Windows Voice Command 1.6. I have tried every single way that I have read about to get WMP to play through the headset. I am trying to route audio to the headset. With all the programs I have tried I get the headset to come on and stay on but sound still comes out of the speaker on unit. Somebody has to have it working? I had it working with one program but lost it when hard reset was done for none responsive screen.
Are you talking about stereo or mono headsets?
Stereo shoulkd work OK as long as Wireless Steroo is selected as the profile.
Mono will only play OS sounds (WMP, SatNav commands etc) if you use additional software. Teksoft Bluemusic is supposed to do what you want, and I'm sure there are others around.
trying mono. tried those programs and nothing. i would not post unless i exhausted everything. need help! thanks in advance
Hi!
I'm not sure if this is the right forum, so if I am wring, please let me know where to post it.
I would like to use my older smartphone (an HTC touch diamond 1) as an mp3 player for my daughter. She has hearing aids capable of using bluetooth, the device actually receiving bluetooth is known as "Oticon Streamer".
I tried installing A2DP toggler, the program seems to work in general (I can connect to the Oticon Streamer, it is recognized as bluetooth headset, I can only switch A2DP on while streamer is actually on and connected), but eventually it does not work: sound comes always and only through the speakers. For playing music (mostly mp3) I am using mort player.
Do I need special software for playing music files when I want to send them to A2DP or is there something I could try to make it working?
Any ideas are appreciated! Thanks!
You don't need any 3rd-party add-on/SW to get bluetooth working for A2DP. The MS bluetooth stack on WM6.1 on HTC diamond1 should have everything you need. I have the same HTC phone and I also use BT stereo headsets which supports A2DP. Just pair the hearing aids if it supports A2DP.
