I am testing a Roadnav S160 in my car, but the BT audio quality is fairly poor. Audible distortion on highs etc. I dug into the logs and it looks like it's choosing an SBC bitpool of 32, which isn't great. Is there some way I can boost the SBC setting to a more modern 53?
I am on listening here , as i also have this unit and people complains that they can hear me not so clear...wish i can do something about it..

Greetings and salutations all.
Here is my problem. I have HBH-300 bluetooth handsfree and the sound quality of this hf is superior (to my taste) to any other I have tried.
This, however is not the case with it connected to TyTN. The sound quality of the earpiece is very poor (like all the f's and s's gets badly distorted). I have tested TyTN with 3 other bt hf:s (Nokias and Jabra) without any problems with the sound quality. The mic quality appears to be the same as with other phones according to the other person of the phone calls.
I've tried modify the registry acording to the idea of enhancing the stereo bt sound quality (tho this is just a mono hf) and tried to lower the value of the bluetooth speaker, but no luck.
So, any idea if there's anything for me to try to be able to use my beloved HBH-300 or is it just the Nokia/Jabra way from now on ?
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.
I purchased the new Moto S10's and I've noticed that if Enhanced Stereo is checked the audio quality goes way up, but the volume level is very low. When I turn it off, it allows the volume to go to a level I like, but the music sounds like im streaming from a low quality source. Is there any way to raise the volume of the enhanced audio setting? Any root setting values I can tweak? Thanks!
I use Enhanced Stereo on my 2010 Prius and it works perfectly. (Did on 2.1 and still on 2.2.) Sound quality is wired quality and it's super loud. (In fact a bit too loud -- not distorted at all, but louder than other sources on my stereo.)
On the Prius forum several Android users are complaining because the Galaxy S does not have this feature and BT-Audio sounds like crap.
I've also paired my phone to my Logitech STR-01 BT-Audio streaming receiver (a woot purchase) and it works perfectly there too.
So I would conclude the problem is with your paired device.
The only 'probem" I've encountered with the N4 is the sound quality of phone calls using bluetooth hands free link in my Acura. My wfe has same issue in her Mercedes. We sound very tinny or robotic. Our previous GN devices had a much richer sound. Can the sound be tuned somehow to sound more natural?
I don't know about tuning it, but the Bluetooth quality is terrible. Everyone I speak with sounds scratchy?
My Bluetooth Headphones sound fantastic.
I don't have bkluetooth in the car. So?
I also have audio quality issues with bluetooth audio quality in my car. Loud high-frequency sounds seem distorted or something like that. It's very distracting.
I'm coming from a Nexus S where I never had such issues.
Here's a bug report regarding bluetooth audio quality (A2DP): http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39632
I'm not sure if it also covers bluetooth phone call audio quality.
I use Sony mw600's to stream audio over Bluetooth. Great sound, exceptional distance and pretty damn good battery life for stereo Bluetooth.
I voided my warranty.
How the does bluetooth sound for you guys? Mine seems to be worse after the B29 update (not for certain that's when it degraded). I have a decent car stereo setup, but bluetooth distorts and crackles in the mids and highs. It's not unlistenable, but I thought my stereo was on the fritz until I used my 3.5mm input from the headphone jack, which sounds just fine. It can't be that the DAC is that much better, as my other phones sounds fine and this used to.
Do you have any thoughts or experience with something besides a small bluetooth speaker?
And I have tried playing with the Dolby settings. They make no difference with the distortion.
After some perfunctory tests I have noted that Bluetooth audio seems to introduce a significant amount of extra noise at high volumes. Aside from the additional background noise I have not noticed distortions with Bluetooth yet. I have only checked this on B29.

Just something to try...I have a BT device hooked to my AVR, and when I stream through that, if I have the volume on my phone up it sounds horrible. If I stream through it with the volume up just 1 click of the volume button, it sounds good. I increase volume at the AVR instead of the phone.
Through Bluetooth hands free working flawlessly to my.(A2017G version)
I'm having 2 LG 1100/2 Sony SBH 80 and 2 SBH 20.
Haven't try it with external speakers(since I don't own any kind) and on my car I'm using the handsfree and not connected to the car audio system.

I have a A2017G on B05 and a somewhat cheap aukey BT headset: it seems to sound fine for me, no crackling or hissing. Have you tried it on different devices to compare?
A2017U on B29, using Jaybirds Bluebuds X, the sound its great, no distortion or cracking.
I use the Bluetooth on my car stereo too and the sound is excellent. No dolby, but the equalizer works fine.
Did you verify that all your bluetooth devices supports aptx? if not then you will lose sound quality :S
idk, i dont like bluetooth audio streaming... even with aptx. Its not bad but if you want to steam flac music it will still limit the quality. Somehow if i stream the music via bluetooths aptx it sound flat not dynmic and
voluminous.
I haven't tried it with the volume just below full. I'll give it a shot in the morning on my commute.
Other devices (S5 and 6P) sound just fine when paired to my headed unit, so it's likely something with my Axon 7.

Quick test with the volume just under full seemed better. I'll know more after a drive tomorrow. Thanks everyone.

EQ on on your car stereo or phone? I don't know of an EQ on the phone (maybe I've overlooked something).

On the phone. I meant to say that it's not using the HiFi audio, but the Dolby eq it's fine on Bluetooth. Sorry for the confusion.
I think it sounds about 95% better just one click below full volume. I never would have thought that digital Bluetooth volume would have been the problem, having always set it to 100% with every other device. Thankfully, Tasker makes for a quick fix.
Thanks for the tips and feedback, everyone.
