[Q] Bluetooth Media Audio (A2DP) will not auto-connect to car stereo

When I start my car the bluetooth connects to the stereo for phone audio but it won't remember my setting to connect to media audio. I have to manually go into the settings every time and check the media audio button. I am using a rooted stock rom and have an i9500 and I also had the problem before rooting. I know it isn't my stereo because my previous phone (Galaxy Nexus) worked just fine. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be done to fix this other than Samsung putting out a fix for it?

[Q] Bluetooth Media Audio not functioning

I have a Note 3 TMobile SM-N900T rooted with stock rom. When using a bluetooth headset, properly paired and configured for both phone and media audio all of the sudden I can it no longer plays media audio through bluetooth. Phone audio works fine. Although I am connected to bluetooth the media sound only plays throu the phone's speakers.I think the phone tried and failed to take an update before this happened as my Android version is 4.3. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same problem with sonyericsson MW600
when i was on 4.3 system (with note 2) the headset worked properly and notification audio go to headset even when the phone is set on vibration.
now with 4.4.2 (with note 3) i can't able to play any notification sound to headset if the phone is on vibration mode.
i tried SoundAbout but it doesn't solve the problem. It can able to send notification to headset instead the phone, but with the phone set on normal mode (with volume on).
Any solution?

Bluetooth Media Audio Profile issues on Lollipop (Android 5.0)

Hi everyone,
I'm in need for some serious help here and I can't express enough how grateful I will be to whoever helps me out here.
The phone I'm using is a Galaxy S5 SM-G900F.
I used to be on 4.4.2 Stock ROM and I flashed XtreStoLite INTL 2.2 ROM (Android 5.0) and now my car Bluetooth connects to my phone but only shows "Call audio - Use for phone audio" Bluetooth profile and not "Media audio - Use for media audio" Bluetooth profile as it used to when I was on 4.4.2.
This means I take calls on Bluetooth and everything regarding calling works well (I can even download Mono Bluetooth Router and streamed mono music through that) but I can't stream music/sound (for example, GPS directions) from my phone to the Bluetooth in my car (A2DP style, you know, the regular).
It is important to note that on a different Bluetooth Speaker I have (NudeAudio), everything works well and as expected and both profiles are visible which is all the more confusing.
I searched on Google and came across these two interesting threads:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/pioR9Zo-mUc <-- This is exactly my problem
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79488
It's as though they've revamped the way the Bluetooth profiles are read so my phone only recognizes the Phone Audio channel.
This is one of the features I use most with my phone and if anyone knows of any solution to this I would be so incredibly thankful!

If it's not working with a custom ROM, chances are it's a problem with that ROM
Flash stock and test

Thank you for the input.
Considering that the ROM I used is very close to the stock ROM and I have had no other issues - I would love it if there was some way to handle this issue specifically.
If anyone knows of some tools or something that could help me with troubleshooting this Bluetooth profile issue - that'd be great.

I have this problem too. I looked up this issue and found that it is a music file compression issue. This is not specific zenfone MP1, but could the case for any budget smartphones. i still haven't found a 100% solution to this, but I have rooted the phone, installed Viper4android and enabled FET compressor. It helps.
If anyone here on XDA can help with the issue, it will be much appreciated.

Agree happens with my innova crysta when I connect via Bluetooth and this issue is also found when I cast to my android TV.

Help with bluetooth audio problem on Lineage14.1

Hi, so I recently installed lineage os on my old Samsung J1 (2016), and I thought everything was working fine until I connected my bluetooth headphones, I almost lost my hearing, the audio was really loud and crackly, and the device disconnects in ~5 mins, and I'm asking here for help because I know I'm not the only one who's dealing with this issue, also I'm sure it's a software fault and not hardware (bluetooth was working just fine on the original system/rom that's why, and the headphones still work with other devices) and just to make sure, I tried connecting my bluetooth controller and it worked the way it's supposed to, and sharing files with bt works fine as well, so the only thing that doesn't work is audio device(s).
Things I tried:
Safe mode (didn't work).
Disabling any bluetooth related settings, including the absolute volume thing in dev options (didn't work).
And please don't tell me to factory reset, it's a newly installed system and I'm sure it won't work anyway.
If you know a fix for it, I'd like to know what it is.
Thank you.
