a2dp audio volume to high (sound distortion)

Guys, and you please test this ??
If you stream by a2dp two sounds like music from touchflo3d and voices from gps software or music from another program (like pocketplayer), the second stream lowers the volume of the first and the sound of the second stream comes very distorted !! I can not use music plus my gps software because the guidance voice comes too loud and distorced. Since the pro2 uses widcomm bluetooth stack you cannot adjust the output volume for the bluetooth device. Tested on several a2dp enabled receivers and all present the same problem. The second stream comes distorted .
Any help/ideas on fixing this is welcome.
thank you

the file responsible for the volume/gain/clipping is wavedev.dll
I need some expert help on lowering the gain !! it's there..

I can lower the volume by long pressing the Play Button on my A2DP Headset

Have you tried the setting in the BT stack to transfer all system audio to BT?
If this is enabled, try disabling and see if the GPS comes through the Rhodium speakers.
The volume level is annoying, I shall add this to the list of annoyances and required bugfixes, I am sure it can be enabled. Not all A2DP headsets have their own volume controls.

thank you for the sugestion but already tried it. When 2 audio streams are played, the second has distortion, but not all second streams. The stock ringtones are ok and tomtom too but navigon is not and most of my ring tones. The moste simple test is pocket player + tf3d music tab at the same time. The second stream makes the pro2 audio stack make cliping due to the high gain on the second stream. Looking at Wavedev.dll you see the strings for "secondstream gain".
I tried some a2dp receivers and all shows the same problem.
I don't think that a simple reg will fix this. Googling for this problem i came across some ppl with the same problem some years ago
why don't you try it andd see it for yourself?
Thank you

I has this problem w/ my old Asus P525 (widcomm bt stack) as well. BTW, does TP2 will drop A2DP connection after phone call which exist on all HTC device w/ MS BT stack?

well i never suffered from that on any htc phone. Where a2dp keeps connected

[Q] I only want calls through BT headset, not music too.

Can anyone tell me if its possible to NOT play music audio though my BT headset, while its connected? Id rather play music through the headphone/3.5mm jack.
Ive been using my tp2 for awhile, as my primary mp3 player, but now that I picked up a bluetooth headset (yes, just now) and leave it on in the car, the audio only goes through that.
Any way around that, or is this a matter of having my cake and eating it too?
Ive looked around a little on the BT options, but there isnt anything labeled "calls only" or "music audio only", etc.
I do have bluetooth music capabilities in the car and I have been using it as such. That is labeled "Stereo Audio". (Ive decided to switch to the 3.5mm jack and sync bt to the headset)
The headset is labeled "Hands-free"...and thats all I want it to be.
(Music player is TCPMP)
Summary:
Music audio through headphone jack
Calls through BT headset
...simultaneously

I've been trying to figure out the same thing. No luck.

What BT headset do you have and does it support A2DP?
Disabling A2DP on my Jawbone ICON seemed to do the trick.

Try this?
Start, settings, bluetooth. Click the gears, then advanced.
Scroll down to audio. Deslect "play system sounds on remote hands free device".
I like ALL sounds to come through the headset, if anything else, as to not bug others around me, but it's a personal choice.
I also have the Jawbone Icon, and, if you have A2DP running, everything comes through the headset...most of the time

Parrot handsfree (ck3100) and satnav

Hi all, i'm about to /buyfit a CK3100 but does anyone know if the satnav apps like copilot will route the audio instructions through the stereo ? And if so, does it mute the stereo each time it does?

Unfortunately, it doesn't. The parrot just handles audio related to phone calls. It doesn't work for navigation instructions, music and other sounds. (EDIT: Read your other post.. I've only tried navigation with Google maps so far, so I wouldn't know about any other navigation apps)
Whenever I use my Desire in the car, I hook up a cable between the headphones jack and the car stereo. This results in:
- Music from the Desire plays on the car stereo
- Navigation instructions pause music playback (in car mode)
- Traffic information broadcasts on the radio mute music playback (but do not pause it)
- Phone calls mute and pause music playback
The Parrot still has a lot better audio quality than the HTC car dock, so it has some added value. But I haven't found a way to play music or navigation instructions on the car stereo without usig a cable.

I had the same experience, however have found a workaround. I have added a plugin xCarLink iPod CD changer adaptor with an optional bluetooth module.
This allows me to connect my Desire using it for both handsfree and also A2DP bluetooth music playing. This does then pause my music or podcast if I receive a call.
I also have Copilot - this is flakey as to how it uses the bluetooth module - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Hope this helps...

hmm shame.. I'm guessing then that the only way to get sat nav through is to buy an A2DP enabled bluetooth car kit. Shame as i've got a CK3100 just sitting here which i've had for a while but never installed. The problem is if i buy another car kit, plus a charger/holder, its going to cost a small fortune.
Thanks for the info.

[Q] Force stock music equalizer selection to bluetooth audio streaming

I would like to listen to my music via bluetooth audio streaming througth my car kit (parrot mki 9000). I also like to use the stock player (it is so nice and i am bored of using poweramp).
Is there any way to force the option of equalizer selection (dolby, srs, beats audio or analog equalizer)?

i would also like to know how to do this as when using beats or srs via bluetooth i get terrible crackling noise
is there a fix for bluetooth crackling noise ?

[Q] Is it possible to hook up a remote to control the SIII's media player?

So this is what I am trying to find out.
I use my SIII in my truck as a media player on long trips hooking it up to my car stereo's line-in input.
What I want to do is to mount a mount/cradle so I can leave the SIII securely mounted/seated somewhere on the dash board and control the music player apps ( Playerpro or the stock music player) through a handheld wireless remote control.
I know the SIII does not have IR receiver so that is out but is there a way to hook up a BT or wifi remote so I can safely control the music playback and navigate up/down folders of music while driving?
Thanks for any ideas you guys might have on this.

I agree it would be useful to have a physical remote with real tactile buttons for use in car, bike or running.
As far as I know, currently the closest option would be a bluetooth remote as there is a bluetooth profile for media control. However, I think it's probably somewhat more limited than what you're looking for. I believe the profile is limited to play/pause, FF, REW, forward skip and back skip. If you're able/willing to setup your playlist in advance so that you're okay with those controls than it should be workable. You won't be able to navigate any menu system.
The other issue is I'm not aware (but you could always try to google for it) of any standalone bluetooth remote. Every one I've ever seen are integrated into some other device. I have remote functions on my bluetooth headphones and my car has an integrated bluetooth sound system and can remote control playback through the dash and steering wheel controls.
If that would work for you, you could consider replacing your stereo deck with one that has bluetooth integrated then you'll be able to control playback through the deck's controls. You'll probably need to stream the audio over bluetooth as well for that to work.

Thanks for the BT suggestion. I will look into it and see if there is anything out there that will work. If I can get a BT solution working without too much cost/effort, I will gladly make a bunch of playlists if that is all that can be controlled by the BT media control profile.
The reason I 'need' to use my S3 in my car is that in my truck (2005 Chevy Avalanche) unlike the current model GM trucks, has no provision for any type of AUX input except for the one I rigged up intercepting the XM module's analog audio output. It is getting to the point that I am really tempted to just replace the head unit with one that will take an USB flash drive and all my problems will be solved.
Thanks again for taking the time to post a reply. :good:
