Hi folks, I've been having this very frustrating problem with A2DP that I can't seem to find anywhere else on the forums.
My bluetooth headset (Nokia BH-905i) connects to my nexus 4 just fine, and I've been using it to listen to music since I get my nexus in january. But recently, every time I connect my headset, and I go to play any music or other sounds that play through the media channel, it comes out the speaker on the phone. In addition, when I use the volume slider I get the "speaker" icon instead of the "bluetooth" icon that I used to get.
My bluetooth headset has worked fine since the OTA update, it's just very recently (last week or two) that this issue has been happening.
The first time it happened, a simple reboot would fix it, now I can reboot and re-pair the headset all I want, it just won't work.
Has anyone else had this issue?
PS. I will also add that the next/previous track buttons still work, but the play/pause button DOES NOT! Very strange!!!
Am I seriously the only one with this problem?

What music player app are you using? That could be the problem right there. I sometimes have this problem with my JVC Arsenal head unit, but usually disabling and re-enabling bluetooth does the trick. Don't have to unpair or reboot, just toggle BT on and off.
Anyone know how to get the track info to transmit? It used to work with Apollo and Pandora, but it won't work with Spotify or anything else. In fact, it doesn't work at all on the N4
I use DSub, but I've tried google music, and also any other "media" sounds don't go through the headset as well ie: Youtube, games, etc.

have you checked the device profiles in the bluetooth menu? there is an option for phone audio, and an option for media audio, check them both
Yes I'm sure, I've also toggled them multiple times to try and get it working...
I also have this same problem. I'm using CM 10.1 nightlies
For some reason I able to pair my phone but not the audio.
In the Bluetooth settings though I only have the option for phone audio and not media audio. After checking on a couple of forums, it shows that my radio does support Bluetooth streaming through a2dp, but for some reason I cannot get it to work on my phone...
Edit:
It seems as though A2DP is broken in CM 10.1 as in stock android roms. I'm not 100% about this, but thats what it looks like.
Hi,
I do use AD2P audio a lot, and never had this issue (Sony MW1).
I m using exclusively AOSP or AOKP based roms (never use stock CM 10.1 because of how silly big is the navbar), but I can give it a shot during my next flashing session for testing
I don't have any problem pairing the audio. The checkbox goes and the headset actually beeps. It's connected, android just isn't sending the audio to the headset.
Me too

I've got the same issue.
I have tried with both jawbone and jabra headsets, no joy.
If I toggle bt on/off/on, connect the headset and then try playing music immediately I get ~1 second of audio over bluetooth before it goes silent.
I'm currently on PA 3.15 with moles kernel, but am going to try some other kernel/rom combos.
if anyone knows which logs i should be looking at i'm happy to upload them
Not quite the same problem, my music plays out of the phone speaker. Also I'm running stock rom.

If i wait more than 1 or 2 seconds after connecting my headset it comes out of the speaker also, as the bt media connection dies. I only get the little bit of audio if i hit play right after I connect the headset
I managed to find a very strange work around...
I installed this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5tYXhpc3Rhci5tb25vYmx1ZXRvb3RoZnJlZSJd
I turned on the app, and I could listen to music over mono mode (which sounds AWFUL). I then turned the app off, and when I changed the volume with the volume buttons I noticed the volume bar was displaying the bluetooth icon instead of the speaker icon.
My app was playing music, I didn't hear anything, but my headset was still outputting the characteristic 'hiss' of being in mono mode. So I went into the bluetooth settings and turned off mono mode, and now it is playing music through A2DP finally... We'll see if this problem occurs again and I'll see if the same process fixes it again. I'm just glad it's finally working again without resetting my phone.
I just wanted to update my post for anyone else who might have this problem in the future. I've performed this fix once before my last post and I haven't had to do it again, I've also uninstalled that app and everything is still working great.
It worked for me too!
Thanks to PickleHead and his workaround I'm listening again.
Thanks!!!
Media audio VS. Call Audio
Hi,
I have Samsung galaxy S3 with android 4.1.2 connected to my fordAudio BT device.
I am playing music using the original media player that came with the Android.
The BT connects quickly, but I can't hear the media I'm playing.
Recently I have discovered a "workaround":
When I disable the "call audio" (using the BT menu in settings) and leaves only the "media audio" checked, I am able to hear the media play.
If I re-enables the "call audio", the sound mutes immediately.
Does this helps to understand the issue?

Bluetoot Media Audio failing

I'm having exactly the problem described here, but this solution doesn't work for me. I have a Galaxy S4 and the bluetooth media audio sometimes works when I boot the phone up, but later it doesn't work. I tried this MonoBluetooth app and it doesn't seem to help. When I tell it to turn on the the mono signal, it says the media is disconnected even though the bluetooth module says it is connected to the AD2P device with media audio. On cases where it does connect, it seems to work, but in that case the bluetooth works with out this app fine.
I'm running 4.2.2 and see this on both the MDK and ME7 code base. I'm looking for a good soluton. I tried the Bluetooth Fix Repair on Google Play, but it can't seem to find my bluetooth configuration folders.

I have had exactly this problem for a couple of days with my S4 connected to my Jabra Freeway car speaker. Also in my case, disabling call audio makes the music pass through, but then I can't use the phone via the speaker which is sort of the whole purpose of the thing!
But I just found a simple workaround: I simply called my phone from another phone to check that phone audio passed through with both options enabled. It did. But it also cured the problem: After the call, media audio worked again - with both options checked.

I'd be interested to know if this fixes the problem for any length of time. Occasionally, and usually after a reboot, I can use the media audio, but then it fails when I try it again. Fiddling with the connections and apps sometimes makes it come back on, but usually only for a short while. While it is connected, it seems to stay connected.
I have a problem with the Bluetooth connection between my phone and car. I leave my bluetooth on all the time, and it will automatically connect to my car when I turn it on, but it only connects phone audio, not media audio. My SIII didn't have this issue. In fact i'm not convinced it even separated the two. I've tried unpairing and deleting the connection on both the phone and car, and when I then re-pair everything, it connects properly (both audio sources) the first time, but every time after that it only connects phone audio.
This is largely annoying because I have a tasker profile setup to automatically change volume and launch slacker radio when the phone connects to the car. And now the music just plays from the phone in my pocket.
Does anyone have a solution, or work around? I do not want to have to do anything with the phone, I want everything to be automated so I don't have to always pull my phone out of my pocket. I've played with one or two bluetooth auto-connect apps, but they want a trigger like turning bluetooth on, or turning on the screen.
Phone is stock, rooted. Car is a 2012 subaru if that means anything.
Interesting. I don't have this issue with either of my the cars I connect to. On my Ford, there is an option to 'auto connect', but on my VW (with a JVC), there is no such option.
In BT settings on the phone, there are two options under the BT device, one called Call audio and another called Media audio. Does changing these settings have any affect?
In the Bluetooth Pairing settings hit the little settings button next to the paired device (car). It will show available services such as in call audio, and AD2P Audio Streaming. Make sure both are checked or that both appear. If it doesn't appear.. then I'm not to sure.
Have you tried another ROM? Try backing up your current ROM and flashing a AOSP ROM like CM10.1. Or even another stock based ROM like GoldenEye and see what happens with those.

Those settings are what i'm referring to. It automatically selects call audio (what I was calling phone audio) but not media. I have to go in and select media audio in addition. I want both to be selected. When I first pair the phone to the car it selects both, but then each subsequent time it only auto connects the call audio.
Found a work around. Installed bluetooth auto connect, which has some tasker integration. Then make a tasker profile that is active when the phone connects to the car (automatic). Then for the task the first step is with the auto connect app, which when you go to add the step is under plugins. Set up the auto connect to select both call and media options. Then add whatever other steps you wish (volume tweaks, app launches, etc).
Used it like that all of yesterday afternoon/evening and it's been flawless, works just like my old SIII did.

I have the same problem with bluetooth. Have to uncheck/recheck the media to get sound. I hear the MF3 update fixes it. I'm installing SHOstock 2.0 now, so I'll know if it's fixed later today.
If it doesn't work I'll try the app you found, thanks.

what build are you running? MDL? I have a 2011 dodge ram, and I had to update the firmware on the factory radio.

Not sure if there is an update for my radio, I'd have to ask subaru. For now the autoconnect/tasker combo is working flawlessly.
I have my N3 connected to my 2009 Ford Edge via bluetooth. It connects quickly every time. The phone has 911 assist almost immediately.
The same can be said for media. Bluetooth connection to enable media playback always connects.
I have two bluetooth media related issues that revolve around autostart of media player when I get in the car...
1. Default app to play media. No matter what I'm playing when I leave the car (it could be BeyondPod, Pandora, Play Music, etc.) the app that starts automatically playing when I get back into the car is ALWAYS BeyondPod, my podcast player. For some reason it has become the pseudo default media app when connected via bluetooth. If I was playing Pandora I know that when I get back in the car I'll have to go into my phone, stop BeyondPod and then to into Pandora and hit play. I would very much like it if there was a way, or a setting, that tells the autoplay feature to use the app that was playing when I left the car. I don't want a default player, just the player that was being used when I left the car.
2. When I get in the car sometimes it will start playing and sometimes it won't start playing. It connects properly, it just doesn't play anything. I can be away from my car for a week for vacation and the next time I get back in the car it starts immediately playing where I left off. Other times I can go into the grocery store, come back out 5 minutes later and it doesn't start playing, I have to pull the phone out and press start on whatever media player I'm using. It's not consistent and I can never predict when it will automatically start playing. I've tried to see a pattern of when it will automatically start but I just can't figure it out. Seems totally random. If I had to guess I'd say that it autostarts about 75% of the time. The other 25% is a mystery.
Not sure if it would help at all, but I used this app to dial in my Bluetooth profile.

Thanks. I looked at that app but it's more for troublesome connections. I connect quickly every time. Bluetooth connectivity is not an issue. It's what happens after connection that's an issue.
I've used apps such as Tasker and Trigger to start an app such as Pandora or Play Music. The problem with solution is it presumes that I want a specific one of those to start. I don't. I want what was playing when I got out of the car to start. I've also used Tasker to pop up a menu letting me make a selection. That works but it means I have to take the phone out of my pocket, something that's not easy to do once I'm buckled in.

Check to see if the app is scheduled to start on headphone or Bluetooth connection. If so uncheck those. It's under player settings.

Hello folks, maybe someone knows the trick...
I recently installed xXx No Limit ROM on my S5. It works pretty fine and I also use the Bluetooth connection for my car audio system (Columbus in a Skoda car).
Hands-free talking works and also media is played well. All options for BT connection are enabled but when using Bluetooth output for Google Maps voice there is nothing to hear. The phone keeps silent and so does the car audio system. Is there a way to get this to work? As mentioned, media is played well and all available options are turned on (in phone and car setup). I really would love to hear Mrs. Google via car loudspeakers

I would check to make sure that you have more than just your media audio volume turned up. IE system, notifications, etc. I think that the volume from google maps isn't considered "media" when controlling the volume levels.

Yes, I did that, too. Still muted
Can you hear it when your Bluetooth is turned off?
yes, but i need to deactivate bt Output in maps first.
Sounds like a google maps problem. Can you clear cache and data then uninstall it? After that I would say restart your phone, reinstall google maps, restart again, then see if it works.

A lot of that will depend if your headphones can support those bit rates. Its 50% on the headphones. Could you set those options on another phone with this headset? Also, did you stop the music while changing bit rate?
EDIT: I just tried it on my phone with some cheap bluetooth headphones. The3 settings dont stick but I also know that these are cheap headphones that will not support some of the advanced features.
EDIT2: When I use a better set of headphones, with Apt-X for example, I can change the settings and they stick.

Thanks for the reply will play with the settings and see
Nothing works
I have also run into this issue and reverted back to stock because of it plus other reasons.
You could solve this issue (errr work around it) by using Tasker and configuring Tasker to toggle the settings in Developer settings for you when a BT device is connected. I haven't done it, but I know it's possible as Tasker can do almost anything with Root access.
Good luck.
Probably... But I don't know how to use Tasker ?
I have the T-Mobile edition. I had the same issue with my BeatsX, which use AAC. Audio was pretty bad.
I didn't find a solution to the problem despite researching for days, but when I flashed the international OxygenOS the issue seemed to have fixed itself, and my dev options show the headphones using AAC like it should.
I don't know if this would fix your issue, but that's my story with the same prob. Setting for example the AptX codec with my BeatsX doesn't work because, iirc, the codec isn't support by the headphones themselves. So the setting gets reverted. Maybe your headphones only support that specific codec as well.
