AD2P Audio

Any of you using the Desire HD with a BT Stereo Radio and/or stereo headset. The sound quality sounds really bad to me. I had the same thing on my HD2 @ default settings, but fixed that by changing the linespeed in registry. (bitpool on older WM phones)
Have been googling and can't find anything of the sort for Android. Is there a way to fix the audio quality?
My brother has the SE Xperia X10 and it has way better AD2P audio quality, even though it's still android 1.6. So it's not an Android bug, but rather a driver/setting somewhere.
Also the range the BT has is really small, I have a Logitech Pure-Fi Mobile speaker, which connects through BT AD2P, the quality is lower then on my HD2 (after tweaking) and the range is only 5-7m, while the HD2 managed to have skipless playback and higher quality at over 15-20m...
Apart from this I'm really loving the phone . And my car radio has full support for the other BT features. Like skipping tracks (in Spotify) and dialing numbers via the address book on my car radio instead of on my phone. And see who's calling on my radio's display.

Hi there, I'm really interested in that too. Would you say it's just a slight problem of the sound quality or is it merely unusable?

If you use Bluetooth headset you can forgive about good music quality. that's all
if you need good quality audio in bluetooth, buy this:

Won't really help at all, as I need to connect it to my car audio.

You can compare the quality with 96Kbps MP3 which is really bad imho, but still usable. It's about the same on many phones though, allmost all are set to max 31 bitpool... But with windows mobile it was an easy fix.

As the source code is out, I hope the ROM builders can soon find a way to fix this.

Hi
I use a pair of plantronics 590e headphones over A2DP and the quality is brilliant! I have not changed a thing in the setup.
I wont play anything lower than 192kbs (most of my mp3 are 320kps) as i am a real fussy git when i comes to audio.
I have used the standard music player and tunewiki and both are perfect!
Are you atchaly using the A2DP or standard mic and mono sound protcal for calls?

My MM200 Sennheiser work flawless. Music is rich and crisp!

You won't know the difference if you haven't heard the difference between bitpool 31 and bitpool 58, it's like night and day to me. Even 256kbps MP3 sounds bad to me tho.
Tried different audio files and it's not spotify causing it. As my brother is also plaything through spotify at HQ settings (which is 160Kbps OGG, comparable with 320+ Kbps MP3) ...
Eagerly waiting for an AD2P fix for android.

When I have my HD playing music through my Car's Bluetooth the quality is also pretty poor.
For some reason I can't choose any of the EQ settings? If I could just try and add some treble I think I could put up with it!

Just tried playing music via bluetooth to my sony head unit in the car and it became so choppy it was painful to even try to listen to it.
Great phone but really disappointed that there is a problem like this as one of the main uses of my phone is for audio in the car.

I use a Sony Ericsson mw600 and the quality is not good. The same headset with my sisters itouch and it sounds great. Is this a hardware or a software issue?

You must be careful with the mw600 that it connects in the correct mode. As headphones NOT headset for music. If you get it wrong it will sound awful. You can check by tapping the Mic during playback, if you can hear it through the headphones you have it set up wrong

i had exact earphone, but it's just awful. first of all; htc doesn't make me choose any sound enhancements, other thing is, my 320kbps musics aren't different from 96 at all.
ps. i am an audiophile.

Imanaged to find my old iTech BlueBand headset yesterday and gave that a go. Sound quality was loud and clear and well balanced.
Shame about the delay though - it's worse than I'm used to. Video is pointless as the lag on the audio is far too much to be bearable.

Cart bluetooth speakers

Any possible way to play songs through cars bluetooth and speakers? Especially pandora
I'm running community rom 1.3

Your car has to be able to receive streaming bluetooth audio, not just phone calls.

Yea your stereo will need a2dp bluetooth support.

There are a few apps on the Market that accomplish this by taking all the A2DP channels and merging them into one mono channel (super bt mono, btmono, bluetooth switcher, etc. most have free trials). You can check those out. Last time I did they worked but were unreliable and I got tired of fiddling. For instance generally you have to turn it on just before and off just after use, but even then sometimes I got nasty static, a crash, or nothing at all. This functionality should have been a standard android feature imo because there aren't enough good A2DP options. Why shouldn't a typical bt device be able to offer the function of a simple corded model!?

I don't have any problem streaming Bluetooth audio (media) through just the stock BT settings menu. No need for a third party app...

[Q] Bluetooth Headset Audio?

Hi All,
I have a 16GB TF .. and it's been very good so far. However, I'm having an issue that I think is probably simple .. but google & xda searches don't find anyone else with the same issue.
I want to use Skype over the tablet, but with a bluetooth headset. Using the TF with just the internal mic & speakers is pretty speakerphon-ish .. and I'd like to use a headset.
I have a couple of BT headsets (one of them 2.1 w/ EDR), and I can pair any / all of them to the TF. Problem is, the audio doesn't come through over the head set, and I don't know how to force it to.
The TF (now running 3.1) acknowledges that the headset is connected (to phone audio it says) .. but the only options in the configuration is to remove it.
What am I missing? I see reviews all over the place where folks are using the tablet to play movies in the car, and piping the audio out via BT? I think I must be missing a config step .. but can't find it.
Thanks for your help.

Im kind of in the same boat but I dont think honeycomb has a "phone audio" functionality. Only "media audio," which is what you would use when piping audio to external speakers.
its the same on the phone, those headsets only connect to mono phone audio so if I was playing a movie or music its silent. So for right now I think you are stuck until they figure out how to make specific apps recognize the phone audio device.

Makes some sense .. so it knows there's a "phone audio" aspect to things out there, but we don't have any way to force the Skype audio to be phone audio and not media.
So if I had a stereo headset, would the system work with it and pipe the audio out since it would recognize it as a media audio system?
Where does the mic fit in all of this?

I have a BT combination headset/headphones which I paired with the Transformer, and from testing it I can say the following:
1. The transformer paris with the device and recognizes both the "handsfree" and "media" profiles that the headphones support.
2. The "media" profile (also called A2DP, stereo bluetooth, etc) works fine. I have listened to music in stereo though them and all of the controls like play/pause and previous/next work properly. If you want to listen to movies, music, or whatever else you should be fine.
3. I can hear Skype through the headphones, but testing revealed that Skype is using the Transformer's build in microphone rather than the one in my headphoens. It also doesn't respond to the call button. Thus, it seems to be using the "media" profile to deliver sound.
So, even though the Transformer can clearly recognize handsfree profile, it either isn't passing it to apps or Skype isn't asking for it.
It looks like as long as you plan to be Skyping with the tablet infront of you, you can get almost the same functionality of a handsfree/headset by using a BT headphones instead. As long as you don't plan to leave the tablet in one room and talk in another you should be fine.

hey so i tried Super BT Mono Free Trial and it actually worked. thought it was Froyo only and reportedly broken with gingerbread.
using Samsung WEP450 paired "handsfree" profile, turned on Super BT Mono and to my surprise audio from music player routed to the BT headset. sound is crappy, and so far can't get audio from BeyondPod to the BT headset.
rooted 8.4.4.11 with netformer 1.5 OC 1.6 ghz and juwe11 ram profile.

Convert phone to A2DP profile

Is there any way to convert a phones Bluetooth A2DP profile to a
"phone" profile. The head unit in my car doesnt support A2DP, just wondering if theres a way I can play music through a phone profile via bluetooth. I''m on a Captivate, but figured this was more of an Android general inquiry. Thanks!

Possibly, but it would sound absolutely awful. The data of the phone profile is so poor in quality and is mono too.
edit:200th post.

It's possible that using an app like Mono Bluetooth (some similar name, search the Market) could allow your phone to play music as mono with your car thinking it's a phone call. As stated above it will probably not sound very good.

No 5.1 Surround Sound on Google Music?

Is this really true? Please tell me no!

Has google music ever been 5.1? I always thought it was 2.0 stereo

To answer your question, it's true. Just tested it. Even though that's something I had never thought would be surround sound.

I'm a bit confused; what would you expect to listen to in 5.1? I doubt most of the music out there is in anything more than stereo, and if all you want is music in all your speakers, your receiver should have an all-channel stereo option.

Hmmm. Didn't think of that. Now to find that option in my Pioneer receiver is going to be interesting.

On my pioneer receiver I hit the advanced surround button several times to get the Ext Stereo setting. That outputs stereo on all channels.

That's correct, Google Music is Stereo output. Not a fault of Google Music, that's just how music is recorded. If you have an advanced receiver, you can put on synthetic 5.1.

That's what the Dolby prologic and dts neo6 settings are for.. Creating a surround sound track from 2 channels
