Skype Bluetooth Audio Problem

Hi
I have installed skype. Audio comes through the loudspeaker, I have tried to route it to bluetooth earpiece ( jawbone prime) or at least use the front speaker.
Unfortunately no results.
I have tried audiorouter V1.0.1, BTaudio and even fring, no results, audio is still coming through speakerphone.
There an option in Bluetooth-> advanced-> play systems sounds through bluetooth but the sound ( my voice ) is distorted to the person I am calling.
Sounds like my voice has been speed up.
Any resoultion ?

Have the same issue
I have a HTC TP2 w/Plantronics Voyager PRO and the same thing I sound like a chipmunk. Skype was no help. Has Anyone figured it out?
Thanks
David

I had a similar problem, and have not found a solution, but instead I started using Skype To Go and instead of using Skype's software. it is just a regular phone call. Sound quality is much better, but it has it's limitations. I use skype almost exclusively for outgoing international calls and therefore it works for me. (it also works for me because I have a lot of unused minutes)

[Q] bluetooth headphone don't work with Netflix app

Motorola bluetooth headphones work perfectly while listening to music but not while trying to play a movie in Netflix app. The audio is heard through the external speaker. any ideas?

same issue problem here with external bluetooth speakers

not working here too....

I guess it's an app problem. May be Netflix needs to send the output to the default audio output device instead of the (hardcoded) speakers?

I use a mac and had the same problem. So I used the Line In app for mac and Sound Flower.
Once Soundflower is installed, go into the mac sound settings, and change output to Soundflower (2ch) or (16ch). Whichever you want
Turn on the Line In app, and divert the Soundflower channel to the Bluetooth headset.
The sound quality is crap, but it's a work around if you need it. Also, my headset turned off a few times after about 15 mins of use. Guessing the mac or headset is recognizing a signal since it's kinda sent sneakily. So it probably registers as idle.

What does a MAC's BT issue have anything to do with Windwos phone's problem?
BTW, I did some testing. Even with NoDo update, using the built in Zune Video player, I can't send the audio via A2DP to a BT headset. So, it seems the limitation is inside WP7 OS. There is NO A2DP support for any video players.

Sound over bluetooth a2dp?

There seems to be no way to listen to music or the soundtrack of a video via Bluetooth a2dp ...
Tried with both the music player and vplayer but each time the sound only comes from the phone speaker and not the Bluetooth device.
Anyone managed this?

It works with the stock rom but I haven't seen any custom roms with it fully operational for media, just for calls.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Thanks, it seems there are a couple of widgets in the market that add the functionality. At least it's not a hardware limitation.

What apps are those? I want to try them please.

I have no problem with the stock ROM but i do use this...
A2DP Volume, you can get it on the market, it's Free.

The one I tried was called bluetooth audio widget, free trial. Will try a2dp volume though as the one I tried seemed to interfere with dsp manager so I installed.

Just tried a2dp volume and it doesn't work for me. That's with leedroid v1.2. Maybe this only works on stock?

Got a2dp volume to work. Seems to do the job well for audio only but has anyone tried watching a video using Bluetooth a2dp for sound? Everything is completely out of sync. I don't there is anyway round this but thought I'd put it out there?
Same with stock player and vplayer.

Just tried Bluetooth audio widget again from the market and this keeps the audio in sync nicely, the only problem being that the quality is pathetic.
Anyone know of a better alternative that keeps audio and video sync?

Audio problem with messenger: codec missing?

A friend has a chinese android set top box.
I have nvidia shield with full android M and also a chinese box.
When he calls me in LINE, skype or hangouts on my nvidia, video works, he can hear me, but I cannot hear him.
If I you use my chinese box , everything is fine.
Of course normal sounds play fine on my nvidia.
Now I made an interesting discovery: in Skype for Android there is an option to switch audio-out between loudspeaker and earphone. The default is loudspeaker, in this mode you not hear any sound. Switching to earphone, everything is fine.

Bluetooth on Android O Beta

Hey all,
Ever since opting into the Android O beta, my Nexus 6p has been working fine, except for connected to my car via BT. It connects, but just shows 'Unknown Artist' for any kind of track info, and if I switch playback apps (for instance, from Pocketcasts to Google Play Music), my phone disconnects from the car for a second or two, connects again, and still doesn't work. The car in question is a 2016 Mini Cooper S. Anyone else seeing issues like this? Works fine on 7.1.2.

ive got the same issue vw polo. audio plays via bluetooth but no artist info it just shows im connected to 6P and skip track controls dont work just mute and volume

Yeah, I don't even get audio. Nothing actually plays, car displays "unknown artist".

I have this as well on a 2017 toyota, calls etc work fine, just music dips out

Thanks for the setting tips, I'll try them out tomorrow and report back.

No luck, same issue persists. I even tried usb-c to usb-a, but my Mini doesn't recognize it as an audio device that way Time to get a new head unit possibly.

No luck, still 'unknown artist' and no audio, even though my phone thinks it's connected and playing.

Do you have this issue on 7.1.2 as well? Don't forget Android O is still in "beta" and I wouldn't be surprised if the BT is a little screwy still.

Everything works fine on 7.1.2, I had to decide what was more important: working car audio or a much faster OS experience. Hopefully this is something that's either fixed in the release of O, or something my car manufacturer can patch into their system.

Not sure if this will help but my car seems to have pretty good luck with this technique and BMW/Mini ICE systems are similar. I use the aac codec keeping everything else default. I've had the issue a well where it's playing on my phone but not the car; the info also doesn't show. Restarting the phone right before starting the car or soon after seems to be relatively effective as it would then connect after the restarts and actually play the music correctly and show the info.
Not the best solution but hopefully this ends after the final is released.

Hi! I hope this helps. It seem like changing the setting (unchecking) for AAC audio helps with the issue. This seems to be a new feature in Oreo, so go to Bluetooth settings and in the little gear next to device it will popup with a couple of options, uncheck AAC.
