I have a pair of bluetooth headphones and a bluetooth receiver in my car.
Once i pair either one to my Touch Pro 2, i noticed that raising/lowering the volume on my HD2 does not affect the audio what so ever(unless i put it on mute).
The music sounds very loud and distorted, and i cant control the volume either way...Anyone else run into this issue? How can i solve it?
That's normal. You need to adjust the volume at the receiving end.
I have the exact same problem. Not sure why as when I pair up to my speakers, the phone tells me it cannot control the volume, yet it worked fine on my "Touch Pro" (the 1st one) and my Kaiser. Not looked for a solution, because its not much of an issue for me really.

But the problem is that, the audio being streamed from the HD2 is so loud and distorted, that i have to turn it down(but i cant).
So even if i turn it down on the receiving end, the distortion is still there.
With my old samsung omnia, i was able to turn the music up or down from the phone...I dont understand why this isnt possible with the Touch Pro 2.
The music coming from my phone is unlistenable. The distortion ruins the audio. Which really sucks, because i spent $300 on a car reciever with bluetooth!
There has to be a solution! Come on XDA!
Try turning it down on the phone first? Or get a player that uses it's own volume control instead of the system volume (I believe Mort Player and Nitrogen will do this).

Same problem here!!!
No volume control at all on TP2, and volume of music cant be changed through the system volume control either
I have a bluetooth connection to my motorcycle intercom system. I had the same problem, sort of.
I installed Conduits Pocket Player, and use the equalizer to bring down the level of the Bluetooth. That worked well enough for what I needed to do.
I read somewhere else on the forum here that this issue is attributed to the Widcomm Buetooth stack on our phones. Whenever I connect my headset to my phone or my laptop, I receive a warning that the volume must be adjusted on the output device, and cannot be adjusted on the phone/computer. It may be related to the poor support for AVRCP.

ok, so it seems that this wincomm bluetooth stack or whatever SUCKS. You're right....I guess the only work around i guess is a player that doesnt use the system volume, like coreplayer.
Coreplayer is great for movies, but for playing mp3's i would prefer Slide 2 Play.
Havent tried nitrogen yet though.
Does a mp3 player exist that is similar to slide 2 play, but doesnt use the system volume of the phone?
I too am not able to use many of the bluetooth audio accessories such as my jabra headphones, desktop speakers and my indash audio system. None of which work as they did with my Kaiser. This was supposed to be an upgrade to my Tilt and it doesnt even support the OLD protocals that were common 2 years ago?? Im seriously considering switching to blackberry. Anyone intrested in a nearly new Tilt 2. Goodbye htc (high tech crap)
THis is a problem with the bluetooth stack, just email HTC so they can get a patch for this. or microsoft because they are the ones that control what stack it gets.
this Goes for the HD2 and others too
Thanks to help from one of the members on here my bluetooth is now working fine for making/receiving calls.
However why does the audio from youtube app or tunein radio app not also come through my bluetooth device when paired and connected but instead through my HTC Desire loudspeaker?
Any one got any idea?
I'll try rephrasing the question.
Why doesnt a standard bluetooth in ear headset carry the full audio of my HTC Desire the way a pair of bluetooth headphones probably do and not just phone calls?
Either noone knows or the ones that do aren't seeing this thread.
I have Nokia BH-503 headset and I had the same problem. The calls would go through my headset, but everything else would play on the speaker. I noticed when I went to settings/Wireless & Networks/Bluetooth settings that my headset connects to phone audio, but not media audio.
I did some research and found a solution that works for me. I turn on the headset first, then bluetooth on my phone. Wait for a few seconds and that's that. My headset works perfectly and plays all audio from the device. When I go to settings, it says that the headset is connected to phone and media audio.
Try that and see if it works for you.
I'm only getting the option to use phone audio for some reason. I even tried switching my headset on first as you suggested.
My headset is a Nokia BH-102.
Any other ideas on how to get the media audio connected?
I think my bluetooth headset is just too crap to play media audio.
I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware problem, but Skype on my friend's Desire HD always route the audio to the earpiece rather than the headphone he plugged in. However my Nexus S doesn't have this problem. We are both running CM7 RC1. Does anyone know a solution to this?
Well, it turns out if a headset is used, Skype correctly routes the audio to the headset. However, using an ordinary stereo headphone doesn't work, only the notification audio from Skype goes to the headphone, but not the in-call audio. I wonder if it's an audio driver issue, Nexus S doesn't have this problem at all.
From what i understood, your headset will be used (with stereo) if it supports A2DP.
Else, some apps permit to redirect audio to most BT headsets, but in mono. Super BT Mono, Bluetooth Switcher, Choice Dialer, Bluetooth Audio Widget, and perhaps few others, seem to do it.
Is it possible to play my HTC One X music over bluetooth to my car stereo?
I have seen evidence in other HTC forums that it might be but I cant seem to make it work, when I pair my phone with my stereo i can make calls through it but when I play music it comes out of the phones speaker instead - any ideas?
If not i'l just use the audio jack cable aux input like i did with my old HD2...

I find it rather hit and miss with me. It does work, but sometimes I have to reboot the phone before it will connect to media audio. Other times it just connects to phone audio, which is very annoying!
Wonder if its a bug?

Check this out:

It's a Bluetooth receiver that plugs into the 3.5mm aux. Simply connect to the One X to the BT Receiver and play your music
EDIT: One thing to bare in mind is that is does require power. You would need to purchase a 12v adapter to plug into the cigarette lighter.
The phone will output to your stereo via bluetooth, set mine up yesterday and it was working fine, not used it enough to see any problems but it definitely works assuming your stereo is compatible.
there is an option in the ics music player to pick what output you want it to play to, menu/select player, and your bt stereo should be listed if its paired correctly.
Should display artist track info on your stereos display and allow you to skip tracks etc, didn't actually try that yesterday but my HD2 could do it so will be a bit miffed if the One X can't.

That will only work it the stereo supports A2DP
My DHD working with my Kenwood headunit but I cant get this phone to play via bluetooth anymore, when i select the stereo in the music player nothing happens!

Sorry, but HD2 has a AVRCP 1.3 but all of HTC Android series has AVRCP 1.0 version... Soo, not artist or track info transmit to device.. It's android related thing, not HTC's fault...
But, Samsung Android phones has AVRCP 1.3 (SGS II, Note..)... It seems, Samsung make different bluetooth stack instead of stock android one...
connected my one x to my car yesterday (normal VW golf audio system) via bluetooth.
calls AND sound both work fine, without any problemes. Like it did with my DHD
greetings
jabra bt3030 is another alternative, it connects to phone via bluetooth and then you can plugin a 3.5mm headphone cable to your head unit - only thing is , a2dp sucks compared to simply plugging in the phone, its quieter and the quality isn't as good.

Exactly my thought. The only reason to have BT in such a scenario is to let people in the back seats control the music. In all other cases, if you have to use an extension cord anyway, why not plug it directly in the phone? The only BT "dongle" that makes sense (in that eliminates the need for a cord) is the HTC one that plugs directly in the aux jack socket of the car stereo (IMHO, and excluding sound quality from the equation).
Does anyone know of a way to actually STOP it automatically playing music over bluetooth?
I have a Ford Mondeo and had the same irritant with HTC Desire in that once connected, it will automatically start playing music over bluetooth. All well and good apart from when I want to put a film on for the kids in the back and have the audio over the stereo.
All I want is a way of telling the in built music player to not start!

Well that sucks, im sure some roms will have it given time though
I have the Bose QC15 and they used to work before I paired my phone with Sony Bluetooth speakers and now whenever I connect my QC15's to my phone I get a thumping/clacking noise when I turn them on and the music plays via the built in speaker and this also happens when I use my AE2, the headphones work with every other device apart from my s2, in-ears work fine including bose QC 20i... WHat should I do, I reset factory setting and still not working
