The quality of music with A2DP is really bad, have much better sound with my qtek s110 with a2dp hack. I have been using the same sony ericsson ds970. Is there anything that can be done about it?
perhaps you can follow the instruction to turn on the stereo, then the sound will be better.
This is my experience to. I had a SE m600i before and the sound was way much better on that device.
The sound clearly suckes with the headset that is packet with the P3600.
The sound on the S100 was far more better.
Lets just hope the ATi chip get's activated on the rom-update, so that the Graphics and Sound get better.
guys, could you please be more specific? what exactly made you unhappy about the sound produced by HTC Trinity?
please define the problem. is it too soft, too loud, lacking bass or higher frequencies, choppy, etc, etc????
P.S. forget about stock standard wired headset supplied with your Trinity. it's bad.

Guys try using the Hermes Registry Tweaker
I used the hermes registry tweaker to take BT Stereo sound from "Okay" to "Excellent" the tool has five levels of quality as well a tweak to enable true stereo rather than joint stereo.
It worked for me! You can unlock and mount EXTrom too.

It has a desturbing sound on the higher tones and the bas is muffled. I tried the fit4 program and changed to the best quality, it sounded a little bit better but it was hard to hear, beacuse now the music skips even more thnat earlier. You know you ger music for a while, it cuts of for a second and then comes back. Now it does this every 5 seconds.

just tested it here. seems to work. The setting was on LOW on my trinity.
I also tried to turn on the GPS settings, which turned on a nice little menu for configuration of the GPS. Looks promising if this is what we get
does not look like the settings gets any gps functionality to be activated besides the settings.
Excellent
Made a big diference on mine too! Nice to know it worked for you.
Try this to disable joint stereo so you get REAL stereo sound, then you will see the difference.

you guys might also want to check out the effort made to port the WIDCOMM stack onto the hermes (to replace the microsoft BT stack). the widcomm stack is superioir and the testers so far have indicated that sound on a2dp is great. the hermes and trinity are basically the same... so it might work.

Last time I tried the Widcomm stack the stack started well, but I couldn't see any bluetooth device. The blue-led did not flash either.
Can't find any bluetooth device.

3D surround configuration
On page 78 of Trinity's manual there is an instruction to set the 3D surround configuration at the headset by going to
Start> Settings > Personal > 3D Surround Sound
and enabling surround sound + setting levels.
I simply can't find the "3D surround sound" selection at >Personal tab...
Can someone help me to configure (eventually by using some registry configuration) how to make this command to appear?
Seems to me this could help to improve stereo quality at P3600...

The problem with my new p3600i is that the volume is much too low. With volume control at max setting, I can just hear music in a quiet environment. e.g. an empty room. When there is any background noise, e.g walking along the street, on a train etc, it is almost inaudible. I am mainly listening to classical music, so the dynamic variation is greater than for rock etc., but nevertheless very disappointing.
I am using the supplied headset, but the sound is not loud enough to know what the quality is like.
Are there any setting I haven't found yet? All the talk about changing the ROM sounds like something which might void the warranty
thanks
John
I have used HTC_UseJointStereff.cab and HTweakC, it seems that the sound changes a little, i don't konw which helps, but they help....
Thank you all.
Ok, I'm looking for some way to route the audio of my Magic to a mono BT headset. I have been searching the threads and Google for days now and unless I'm blind (come to think of it I've been called this before) I can't find any app for this purpose. I had a program called BT Audio for my WM phone that worked like a charm. Anyone got any ideas or up for the challenge to making an app let me know?
Android 1.5 introduced A2DP support, so all you should need to do is pair the device and fire up the music app (might be a couple more settings in between, but AFAIK it's a simple pairing job). So I'm wondering if your headset doesn't support A2DP and that WinMo app was channeling audio through the regular headset profile.

Your right my headset doesn't support A2DP (It's cheep ). I know it is possible though, cause sometimes when I am using an app or game with audio and someone calls in I hear the audio through the BT headset for a sec before the phone connects.
WinMo had a few different apps for this so I'm surprised that I haven't been able to find anything for android yet. I didn't think it would be that hard to do.
It could be that its built in to the ROM that I have and I just haven't found the settings for it yet. I'm using the My Hero ROM. If anyone knows Let me know.
Hi!
Once you pair your device (on my Cyan ROM anyway...) you can go into the BT settings, long select the device you just paired with, choose options and if it supports X feature on the BT profile (in this case, audio) then there will be a check box that you can click to enable that function/feature.
Other than that, you might have some luck searching the Market for an app similar to BT Audio. I used to have a Shadow and I know exactly what app you are talking about, all in all though I was less than impressed with the meager selection of apps I had available compared to what I have now; and definitely even the out-of-box experience is light years ahead of any WM experience. What I ended up doing instead was just grabbed a new Stereo BT headset and problem was solved There was one on http://www.woot.com a little while ago that I'm loving (LG BT250 I think?).
Good luck!

I wish I could . I didn't mean the one I have was cheap in the way of money cause it cost me $80. Cheap in that it was the cheapest of the headsets that I could get with voice recognition built in as I work and drive around a lot of noise. I didn't want to pay the $130 for the good one.
I wonder if there is anyone with the right skills out there that can write a app like this. hint hint.
I do appreciate all the work that goes into making these cool app that I use every day so if nothing shows up, I guess I'll have to live without.
Thanks guys!

Dunno, I think they just want to advertise the site in their sig...
I have a stereo Bluetooth headset (Plantronics 855) that works great with the Droid; however, there are times when I want to sent A2DP to my Jawbone Prime, which is not A2DP compatible. The profile only shows phone audio when selecting the device in the Android BT manager. What needs to happen to transmit full audio to a non-A2DP headset is enabling SCO (Synchronous Connection-Oriented) connection. I have searched everywhere I cannot find a software gateway that enables this feature in the Droid. There is an app in the market called Sound Route Switcher that claims to enable this but then blames Android for is application not working with Bluetooth.
I will keep looking and post anything that I find but I am stumped to this point.
Thanks dbigdawg
There's a little Greek in there for me, but I appreciate the effort and I'm sure many others will too. Look forward to what you can find.
Hate to bring back an OLD thread, but has there been a solution found?
Last I looked was back in April.........................Nothing
But like I said before I have been known to be blind to anything past the end of my nose!
I really miss being able to listen to music all day and not have on headphones.
Thanks for the reply bud. Maybe with some luck I can see if I can find that old file I had that was supposed to work, but didn't on 1.5. Now that I use 2.1, it might be a different situation. If I can locate it I'll post it here.
Hi, there is a new app named "Super BT Mono" which could route audio to bluetooth mono earpiece. It might be what you are looking for.
Thanks
Thanks for the info. That Super BT Mono did the trick for me.
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.

Hi guys
i read xda so much, but i don't write as well
i have a big issue with my galaxy s 2
i use a bt car stereo, with a2dp and avrcp support
i used to stream all my music collection from my iphone4
now i got my sgs2 and i love it... but
the audio stream looks "limited"
it seems a bandwidth issue, or i don't know a quality issue
with iphone4 i streamed at full quality, now the sgs2 sounds a lot worst
other than that, i have to disable wifi because if on, the music is choppy and skips a lot
with wifi off, the stream goes well, but it sound bad...
sorry for my not so perfect english... i hope there is a way to improve sound quality because i "live" with a2dp on in my car...
That's strange. My a2dp stream actually sound better from sgs2 than it does from my ipod touch 2nd gen, iphone or my computer (bluez).
Receiver is a belkin stereo a2dp receiver.
Are you sure that it's not in handsfree mode? Long press the a2dp device in bluetooth settings and there should be an option to select it to be a media device, make sure it's checked.
thanks for the reply gvoima, no it's in media device mode
i think the problem is the bitpool
i've got the same problem of this guy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708685

I got a belkin stereo receiver as well, but it sounds bad and choppy, just like the topic starter described. Though still compressed (this is a known issue for A2DP due to bandwidth limitations) songs sounds much better from my Nokia E52 work phone.

The "but my (insert phone) worked better" isn't really valid. For as many people who make that statement there are an equal number who are shocked that the SGS2 works where other phones haven't. This is kind of like the Wi-Fi issue. When two pieces of equipment don't interact well you can't just blame one of them.
In my car and on my Yamaha YSP-4000 the SGS2's Bluetooth works better than any phone I've used. That includes the HD2, G2, and G2X. The sound is much more defined and headset controls (random and repeat) show available for the first time. The SGS2 also feeds track info to the car which none of the others did.
Bluetooth connections and sound quality are always a big YMMV.
My Sony MW600 sound great, I use to have a Motorola Defy , and it use to have an "Enhanced Stereo" option in the blue-tooth menu, the Samsung S2 does not have this option.
@BarryH,
Oh I know, I not blaming the SGS2. I only think the SGS2 out sound to it's output module which is somehow less suitable for the kind of compression, maybe set by the Belkin module. Actually I'm currious if there would be ways to change the way the SGS2 sends sound signals via A2DP

LG's implementation of Bluetooth drove G2X owners crazy. Check out this thread from the G2X forum...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117769
Maybe it will help. The only other solution for the G2X was installing an AOSP ROM.
Well, I tried it (Bluetooth Fix Repair), but off-course that tool is for a problem the SGS2 does not have.
From the tinkering I've done now I know.
- Having MusicFX installed does not make a difference
- Video players running ffmpeg codec do also not make much difference in sound quality
- The -type- of file does make a difference, i.e. low bitrate files play better
This makes me think, is there a music program which can resample/recode music before playing. I'd rather have software do that than A2DP do it badly, or is mono output (other than all the tools enabling playback on mono headsets which is for pre-A2DP headsets and thus something else) possible?
Edit /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf
Uncomment "Master" option and set it to "True".
Uncomment "MaxConnections" and set it to 3.
Most Android devices have this file configured poorly by default, those 2 settings should help though.
I'd suggest also enabling HFP and AutoConnect.
Great! That definitly reduced creaking/noises and even the occasional stuttering music!
Since you seem to know your stuff, would there be a way to send a mono signal to (only) the A2DP stack and would this decrease the 'tin can' effect? I'd rather have better upper tones than stereo.

Thanks for the suggestions...going to try this and see if the sound quality improves in my car stereo.
Till now the best A2dp sound quality was on my Nexus S, but that was with the help of custom rom development and vodoo sound. Worst was the g2x.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Ok guys, I think I might have... accidentily... run into a phenonemon.
I tested my phone on a Creative D100 wireless speaker it it went great, no tin can sound, no hickups.
This proved to me that there had to be something wrong. Now when I was posting here earlier I was listening a lot to music and at a certain moment I thought... wait I'm not hearing a tin-can sound anymore. However, later on while testing I heard it again so I thought I imagined it.
Powering off the phone and powering on again I was able to create this again. No tin can sound... however a lot of hickups (as if a lot of data had to be sent and it didn't quite fit). I made a call to my work phone (sound on the handset) to test and then the tin can sound was there again, no hick ups anymore though. Strangely enough a haven't been able to replicate the 'no tin can sound but hickup situation' though by powering off and on again. Tried after playing on the Belkin on the D100 again and no problems at all, great sound and no hickups whatsoever.
It appears to be a bigger issue with android connected to the bitpool setting the bluetooth receiver desires...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14944891#post14944891
Let's hope the upcoming Cynogen can fix this issue.
I too felt that the A2DP sound quality on the Nokia BH103 is crap as compared to my Nokia 5800 (sounded even better than stock wired headset). It also uses a lot more battery, I find mediaserver using a lot of battery.
How do we escalate this to Samsung?

hi all
I know you can buy adapters for 3.5mm headphones to combine the left and right stereo into a combined mono output for both ear buds.
...surely, there must be some software for Android that can do this for me without an adapter? Work are happy for me to listen to music but require me to keep an ear free to hear colleague questions or calls - but with one headphone, I lose half the stereo.
Anyway of making both channels go into one - without the need for an adapter?
It seems to be a known issue. I agree that the accessibility options in Android are lacking and i hope you get this soon.

Thanks for the link mate; I trawled Google before posting this as I couldn't find an answer anywhere. Evidently, I didn't look hard enough.
I've sent an email to the creators of PowerAMP for Android; apparently their next release will have a balance feature and it'd be nice if they solved the problem with a 'mono' button too...
An option would be to use a bluetooth headset and if your phone is a2dp then download one of the mono bluetooth apps from the market to use it to stream music.
Understand you asked for the wired but not everyone is aware of the other options they may have.
