When I connect to media audio via bluetooth in my car, I can only get audio out of the left side speakers. This is repeatable on different apps that play music. When I play a radio station in my car I get sound out of both sides.
What can I check to help diagnose this problem and hopefully fix it?
Thanks.
Does anybody else have this problem?
Does your car audio system support A2DP stereo Bluetooth profile ? Probably it does, otherwise I don’t think you can stream audio with just the Hands-free (HFP) profile (which is a low quality link meant only for calls). Mine works fine in stereo with my car’s audio system. Try deleting all the BT settings from your car and initialize everything from the beginning.
Iam verry sure that your audio car not support A2DP because in my car i can use for stereo...try to see the specification for your car audio bluetooth..

It works fine when I use my Galaxy Nexus. This makes me believe it supports A2DP. This problem is unique to the One X for me. Did I get a bad phone?
Also, when I crank the balance over to the side that doesn't work I can hear it a little bit, but it's crackly and distorted.
EDIT: Problem solved. Re-seated the wiring in the sound system and everything is fine now.

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.
I have a LG Nitro HD running on AT&T. The phone came pre-loaded with 2.3.5. The bluetooth phone part works as I can make and receive calls with my car (Suzuki Kizoshi 2010), but the audio over bluetooth doesn't work. The phone part works as I can make and receive calls. This is very important for me to be able to play the audio over bluetooth as I have a long commute to work and like to listen to my music. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.
It's been about a month and still no solution. Has anyone else come across this problem?
I do not have this problem. I have a Pioneer X930BT headunit in my car and my Nitro streams audio over bluetooth (A2DP) to it perfectly as well as phone calls.
Have you tried streaming Sirius or spotify over bluetooth? I found that the only app on the phone that streams audio to my car correctly is the pre-installed audio app that comes with the phone.
I can confirm google music and napster stream great over bluetooth. I have not used spotify or sirius for android.
Are you sure your car supports audio profile?
I stream spotify, tunein radio every day through bluetooth.
Spotify actually pauses when bluetooth connection is lost which is great for getting out of the car. I wish TuneIn would do it.

I have had the same problem with my nitro, it will automatically connect the phone but the media (A2DP) seems to drop automatically after connection. I've found if I manually re-connect to the receiver both will stay connected.
(settings > Wireless & Network > Bluetooth settings > *tap device name*)
I, like you, use it every time I'm in the car so it's annoying but it's a fix until there is a valid solution like a update or properly built rom.
In your case I would delete all the phone profiles from the car memory and re pair them. A lot of cars have a seperate a2dp profile for streaming music and if you pair them seperately the car stereo thinks that it needs to be paired only with the cell phone while the phone says that is paired with phone and audio.
It is not a LG Nitro 4g issue. Updates/firmware would not fix it.

That seems to be your problem JoTomlin and Kaiser. Before I installed my new headunit in my subaru I had tons of issues with my captivate playing music over bluetooth because the car had seperate profiles for A2DP and handsfree. When I got my new headunit which has a single profile containing both A2DP and handsfree it all worked without headache on the captivate and now the nitro. This is a problem with your car stereo. If its anything like my subarus, it would prefer to connect to handsfree and it would have to physically disconnect handsfree to connect A2DP (I would have to manually connect via the bluetooth menu). I solved it by getting a tunelink bluetooth audio receiver so handsfree would connect to the stereo and to the tunelink at the same time. Eventually I got tired of that and bought a new headunit.
Apparently a lot of people have swapped out their factory Kizashi factory head units for something better. But again, you'll want to bug Suzuki about something like this.
FWIW, I can stream Pandora just fine over a VW headunit with factory bluetooth. I do have to sometimes to a reconnect/pair though.
Has anyone figured out this issue? I stopped using my Nitro for about 5 months and then just recently updated it with 4.0.4, but still have the audio issue. My Samsung Galaxy SII doesn't have this issue. It's frustrating because I really like the Nitro. The Bluetooth audio is a huge issue though. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Did you factory reset after updating?
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:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-F8Z4...HUSE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334252383&sr=8-1
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
Wondering if there's a secret. It's like everything below 200mhz has been removed, both through headphone jack and bluetooth.
Sound quality for me both on Bluetooth and headphones is great
Sounds good to me
Same here. Good quality in car whether i use my bt adapter or through audio jack.
Using Vanilla Player to play local mp3s sounds good on my headphones. Maybe a little "small" on my BT speaker, but its a small cheap speaker. Haven't noticed poor quality in my car.
I do use bluetooth pretty much exclusively in the car. I have a pair of headphones that sound really good with the phone. Dont use anything else to play music but I do sometimes have problems with the headphone jack when I move the cable around.
The sound quality when connected via cable to my car stereo or headphones seems to be fairly decent, though a bit noisier than the audio I get from my iPhone. I still have the problem of losing audio on calls after disconnecting from the audio jack (I can't hear callers on incoming calls and sometimes callers cannot hear me when I call them) and then having audio not re-routed back to the audio jack the next time I connect. Because this has happened on more than one Fire phone, I just use a cheap Bluetooth USB adapter connected to my stereo which does degrade the audio quality somewhat however.
Do you guys use any sound processing apps at all? I seriously have no bass coming out of my phone. I turn the bass up almost all the way on my car stereo, and in an EQ app for the phone (tried without the app too), and it's still not quite what a normal mp3 playing directly on my car receiver sounds like.
I'm on fire OS, are any of you on cm11?
Also this uses dolby or something doesn't it? I worry that something I've disabled has messed it up, but don't know what it would be.

No sound processing apps for me. I'm usually on Fire OS 4.6.3 rooted with no Google Play services. Now I'm on 4.6.5 unrooted (trying to resolve a GPS issue) and it sounds the same over BT.
Works fine for me too. Hardwired through AUX or with Bluetooth. Headphones/earbuds sound good too. I mainly use Amazon Music player, Google Music, and Pandora.
I've had no problems with BT connection from my Fire OS Fire Phone to my Sony receiver. Bass response is good whether or not I am running "Equalizer FX." I use Equalizer FX because the bass on the car stereo (and my headphones) rolls off below 60Hz.
I have learned from other phones that running the volume at max level can cause clipping and sound degredation.
