A2DP with TCPMP?

Too many acronyms?
OK, so I got me some nice little bluetooth headphones, the iPhono mini things from bluetake. I'm digging them.
Only problem is that TCPMP doesn't fancy piping its music over bluetooth, although WMP happily will. This is pretty pants, since most of my music is AAC, which WMP naturally won't play.
Also, while we're here, even in WMP the pause/skip buttons on the headphones are having no effect. It's kind of jittery too. Man, what?
So, does anybody have any ideas? I gather from searching that many people do use bluetooth headphones, and there was even one instance of someone saying they do so via TCPMP regularly.
I'm using a HTC Magician (1.12 rom) with the url=http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33532&highlight=a2dp]BCHS bluetooth stack/url], maybe I need a different stack? I gather there are a few...
Maybe if I upgrade to the 1.13 rom? Or maybe a different bluetooth stack? I don't know :/

I've never tried to use my BT headset to listen to music with my phone, but on my laptop, the headset has to be paired and activated in 'My bluetooth places. Then I have to select it as the audio device to use in control panel->sounds and audio devices, then restart whatever media player I'm using.

Good idea, but I tried restarting the apps already. I even did a soft-reset and made pairing the very first thing I did when it had finished booting.

Itech a2dp
Just bought some Itech clip s35 BT thingy, lets you put your own headphones in.
I put my universal on my desk. Went to the next office. About 10 meters away, through thin walls and next to 7 servers, its still 100% crispy sound.
I turn around and it stops, turn back and its back again. 10 metres! Through walls!!
Connected to my Sony MDR EX71 mini squishys and Im sealed in sound wirelessly.
I cannot fault these in any way shape or form.

That... doesn't help :?

Ooops
I forget to say that as this is paired as wireless stereo in my bluetooth devices, everything comes out this headset.
TCMP
Games
Phone
Media Player
I paired it and it seemed to completely take the place of my wired headset. As if it is plugged in.
With the voice dial activated using the button on the headset, I dont have to get my phone out of its case to listen and make recieve calls. I have not tested to see if TCMP cuts out and comes back in.....
My suggestion would be to find out if there are different types of A2DP, as my device seems to have this device as default audio output. Perhaps this is just a windows mobile 5 thing though.....
I am going to upgrade my old Magician with a bluetooth stack which supports A2DP. If I do this sometime soon, ill let you know my results.
Sorry for the apparent topic change.

Ha ha! I'm all "Wait, how the hell is he doing all that? Maybe he has WM5?" and I'm pretty sure you're right. I've been trolling this place for the last few days on all the Magician + A2DP info I can. Seems as though only WMP will stream audio over bluetooth via A2DP with that upgraded stack.

I find that CorePlayer works great w/ A2DP.

I just got MOTO s9's today, I am able to hear music when listing to Coreplayer/tcmp but the Play, pause, next buttons don't work.

You can map the headset buttons to control playback with Hotkeys in CorePlayer the same way you map hard keys on the device.

If you want TCMP to play over a2dp when it doesn't automaticly do so you must go to the options menu, then audio options, then select Null audio in the audiodriver section. Press play, obviously you won’t hear a thing. Pause the music or video and go back to the audiodriver section then select wave output. Press play And voila you have bluetooth audio. This does the trick for me as it doesn’t play through headset automaticly.
hope this helps you.

Find the BTAudio.cab application if it works with your device.

Pair your device with 'JETware Mobile Extension 1.31' & configure it. Also do make the device in Bluetooth Discoverable mode, this will certainly help in streaming the music. Better try CorePlayer 1.2.4.

How to use a BT Stereo Headset with GSPlayer or any player

I tried to set up a set of BT Stereo Headphones in a shop the other day to test them. We couldn't get them to go so we could listen to mp3s. I use GSPlayer.
Has anybody done this successfully? How do you tell the Magician (WM5) to output the sounds to the bluetooth headset and not to the normal headphones audio output socket?
many thanks,
Zaine.

Cant remeber where i got and who to give props too. but here it is
just run the output all audio to bluetooth and the run the other to turn off
and the auto mode which i havent tested out yet

Bewdiful.
Bewdy mate.
Thanks very much, that seems to do the trick. It works with my normal headset now. I'll go back to the shop now and test those other headphones.
The auto toggle seems to work OK as well, btw.
Once again, thanks a million.

Good deal. I gotta try this out. Will this work w/ the Wizard?

It doesn't work with my Magician + BHCS BT Patch...

I've read plenty of threads about this. For Magician, A2DP is WMP only. Doesn't work with anything else.
Mind you, this is what everyone else has said. I have not tested this myself.

I can confirm that, in my experience.
Also: WMP is pretty rubbish about its A2DP support. For some reason it'll only stream mp3s within a certain bitrate, too low and it uses the device's speaker.
It won't do non-stnadard sample-rates either, and on most setups it seems to "burp" every few seconds.

Ik am succesfull with the standard WMP though. It plays all bitrates, and only rarely stutters... So when I use WMP, I am satisfied!

Works fine, just bad quality sound with Bluetooth.
Well, I tried again in the shop and everything worked fine on my Magician (a T Mobile MDA compact with WM5). However, the sound quality was pretty rubbish. The sales guy reckoned that was a function of Bluetooth.
So, not a winner there. But, I can now listen to my voice recordings and podcasts via my normal BT Headset, which is really handy.
Thanks again to the Frioman - a really useful couple of apps. The toggle is on my Today page now!

Yeah, I got this all the time, espically if I fast forwarded and rewound. And I was re-encoding mp3s to different bitrates, constant and variable without much success.
"Damn WMP and it's lack of features! The stupid thing can only play MP3s... and... WMA..."
I did a few test re-encodes to WMA 9 (not 9.1) @ 192 and now I get those burps and crackles every ... ten minutes? Half an hour? Definitly not every... what, twenty seconds to a minute.
If this is a problem for you, try re-encoding to WMA 9 @ 192. I use dbPowerAmp http://www.dbpoweramp.com/

ooff! took me about 2 and 1/2 days to re-find this thread again!! can we get a sticky on this????
used this on my Wizard (aka mda) and my Moto H3 and now can listen to my tv shows on the train w/my bt headset!
thanks!!!

I got a Unable to Open bluetooth audio gateway or something, though my headset is connected...strange.

There is three icons one for audio off and one for audio on and one for toggle.
I ran one at a time but after 15 or 20 minutes I loose blue tooth connections and the communications manager freezes and when I click on the blue tooth Icon in settings it does nothing, I have to turn the mda off and then I can listen over the blue tooth again, but after 1or 20 minutes it does it again.
can you help?

is there any one out there

BT Audio User Problem
I downloaded BT Audio and installed the three .exe files on my 8525. Soft reset the device and then toggled the audio on.exe. Sound still coming out of the speaker and not the BT headset.
I do have the BT-620's and they work fine (even before the BT Audio install). I am trying to accomplish being able to listen to WM without having to lug the BT-620's around all the time.
I am wondering if having the 620's software is conflicting with BT Audio?
Also, I think to get the audio stream to play to the headset, one has to activate the voice dialing feature from the headset? I can get the sound to play only for a few seconds when I do this. Do I need to de-activate voice dialing? If so, how?
Thanks and Happy Holidays

Wokring great with Plantranics voyer 510
Thanks for such nice software....it is working great in my mda and voyer 510 bluetooh head set.

Thank you so much, toggle works well, switches to calls and back

I cannot control the volume of Streaming Bluetooth Audio.... :(

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

WP7 and Bluetooth Controls

My handset upgrade is coming up and I will be jumping on WP7 after a year with Android. To be more specific, the HD7. I've pretty much crammed as much info about WP7 as possible right now, but there's still one thing I'm not sure about, and that's bluetooth AVRCP. I thinking about getting a pretty decent stereo system with bluetooth and comes with a remote and I wonder if I would be able to fully control the music in WP7.

I paired my samsung sbh600 with my focus last night, play/pause/volume/next track/previous track all worked no problem...sound quality was pretty decent too, though a graphic equalizer would really help
oh yeah, and they got plenty loud too

jmerrey,
have you tried videos? i also have the Focus and for music it seems to work, but for videos the audio does not come through bluetooth and AVRCP does not work either. same on the HTC Surround and LG Quantum. not sure if it's just my bluetooth device, Jabra BT3030, but it worked fine with a Samsung MP3 player and a Microsoft KIN.

Same Bluetooth issue here
Samsung Focus
AT&T
When connected to my Sony DR-BT22 headset, phone calls are fine, Zune is fine, but if I switch over to play Youtube videos, the sound will switch to the handset itself. I can't find a setting to change it. Anyone have any ideas?
Everything plays through the wired headphones without an issue when I connect that way.

Ok great, so no one is experiencing any bluetooth problems? Specifically AVRCP.

I had a Philips tapster SHB7110 and my HD7 couldn't see it. I had to sell it because it became useless. It paired well with my HD2.

Me too. If you play videos in Zune, the phone only uses external speaker not the bluetooth. It's annoy MS needs to fix it.

Tilt2 stock rom - BT Headset to pause/play music (coreplayer)- AVRCP?

So after some research I kay be looking for something called avrcp or i may be wrong. I can get all audio to play through my phone but id like to pause the file with my headset if this is possible. I have a plantronics voyager 910 and a Motorola H720.
I saw some stuff with people talking about other roms im on stock . Im just hoping I can do something like where the push to talk/accept call button would work to play/pause whatever media file I'm using and maybe the vol up/down buttons would make it skip forward or backward. tat would be pretty cool.
Thanks for the help

I don't this is supported by coreplayer. I'm using it fine on WMP.

Thank you,
So is there a way to get .avi's to play in WMP? What are you using to get this feature working a particular program, do I need a particular headset?
Here is what I am trying to do; the gym I go to has tv's all over the place, there is a little corner kind of subsided I want to hook my tilt2 up to the TV and start doing P90x on it. Just hooking up the video though, Ill keep the audio going through Bluetooth. I already tried this on my TV at home and the video worked and the audio kept going through Bluetooth.
i prefer Core player if its possible but if I can make WMA play .avi's then that will be fine as well.

Sorry WMP will not play AVI's. There's no progress on TCPMP using AVRCP on TP2 because it uses Widcomm stack (they've solved it for the TP).
A solution would be to convert your files to MP4 (use something like MP4HD) and then play on WMP.

Thanks, that is what I was considering doing was formatting them differently. but I still don't know what I would use to enable the pause/play stuff on the Bluetooth is this some special software I need or is it native to the program?

Hello,
I was still wondering if there is a particular program I need to get in order to use my BT headset to pause/Play and other functions or is this a native functionality. If so I am unable to figure out how to activate it.
Thank you!

AFAIK it's native. Mine works on WMP with no problems. And also on Sense/Manilla music tab. As you can see I'm using Jacko's ROM (broadcom stack I think). I'm using Motorola S9 headphones.
