T61 - Bluetooth audio problem

My computer: Lenovo T61.
System: Windows 7 64b.
Bluetooth device manufacturer: Broadcom.
I have severe problem with my bluetooth internal device. I wanted to connect my computer with external audio device (bluetooth speakers) and I found that my computer can connect to the device, but it's discovered as unknown bluetooth device.
I tried installing various drivers versions, but it didn't help. I also noticed that in the device manager there are 3 various entries of 'unknown external bluetooth devices', which I believe that belong to the internal bluetooth device, but somehow they weren't installed. I tried various ways of manual installing the drivers of these 3 devices (I guess one of them is responsible for bluetooth audio), but I didn't succeed.
I would be extremely grateful for help. I really don't know what to do more...

Anyone?

Any Bluetooth audio problems since upgrading to ICS?

Hi.
Was wondering if anyone has had any Bluetooth audio problems since upgrading to ICS? In particular, have you had any stuttering and/or pauses in streaming since the upgrade?
I use a MW600 with my phone and I get stuttering and pauses every few minutes between the phone and the MW600 which is very annoying - to the point where I can't reliably use the phone for audio any more.
Thanks

Sorry but it seems to be a problem some users are experiencing. It's already been reported so hopefully there will be a fix for this soon.

T61 Bluetooth Audio needs to be manually selected

I am using a Motorola S805 headset with my T61. They pair successfully and I have all necessary services activated. However, in order to stream audio through the headset, I need to manually select the "bluetooth audio device" in the sounds/devices control panel. Is there anyway to get around this? Shouldn't the stream of audio be automatic?

Hello,
Welcome to the forums!
There sure is a way to automate the streaming.
1) Turn on the bluetooth radio (Fn-F5), once the radio's on, right-click the bluetooth icon in the taskbar and select "Bluetooth Configuration". (Alternate way is to turn on the bluetooth radio, open "My Bluetooth Places" on the desktop and select "Bluetooth Configuration" from the "Bluetooth" menu item).
2) Click the "Local Services" tab, select "Audio Gateway" (double-click to open the properties) and check the box "Startup Automatically".
Next time you turn on the bluetooth radio and your headset, they should pair and the headset should automatically be connected.
That should do the trick.
Hope that helps
Steve

Bluetooth audio problem and 2011 Mazda 3

There is a great deal of conflicting information in regards to bluetooth audio compatibility and various cars (2011 Mazda 3 in my case) and the iphone 4... So I'm trying to get a straight answer!
Anyway my car (according to Mazda) supports AVRCP 1.3, however when pairing to my Verizon iPhone (4.2.6), the car reports BT Audio (which denotes that the device has less than AVRCP 1.3 support).
So question 1... Does the iphone support AVRCP 1.3 in its entirety or is it some limited incarnation of it or simply just A2DP?
Question 2... The options that I have with BT Audio allow me to skip the track, but won't allow me to pause/stop (I hit the pause/stop and the audio stops for split second and then restarts) So what's the story here?
Question 3... What am I supposed to expect from the iphone 4 in terms of bluetooth support? i.e.
Plays blue tooth audio? (Yes it does that quite well in my car)
Allows Skip, Pause functions from car controls? (It skips track, but NOT Pause)
Shows current playing track? (Ok I'd assume that the most advanced smart phone on the planet would support this simple function, but I don't believe it does and if it doesn't...why not?)
Answers anyone?

Yes, the iPhone does support AVRCP. The Supported Bluetooth profiles article says that it supports "pause, play, stop, next track and previous track for AVRCP."
When you look at Wikipedia, the AVRCP profile goes up to 1.4. It looks like the iPhone supports the 1.0 profile.
Question 2... The options that I have with BT Audio allow me to skip the track, but won't allow me to pause/stop (I hit the pause/stop and the audio stops for split second and then restarts) So what's the story here?
Thats all that AVRCP 1.0 supports.

The first article that I linked provides details about what bluetooth profiles are supported by the iPhone and what you can expect it to do.
To get the most functionality, you'll want to keep your car stereo and your iPhone updated. Previous iOS updates have included support for more bluetooth profiles.
WTH.

Blackberry HS 700 Bluetooth - Audio Problem

I bought one HS 700 bluetooth headset 1 year ago and it worked superbly. After one year, suddenly one day after charging, the audio went off. The bluetooth is getting connected and even making calls, other person is able to hear my voive but i get no audio on my headset. Even when the headset is turned on and is connected to a device, no audio comes from headpiece. Please guide me what could be the problem and what to do next?
Thanks

Hey rimplevij,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
Have you tried deleting the Bluetooth® profile from the BlackBerry® smartphone and then reconnecting the two? If yes, try pairing the Bluetooth® headset with a different BlackBerry smartphone, If the problem continues I would suggest contacting your point of sale for options.
Thank you.

Can anyone help me with bluetooth audio problem?

I was able to pair my 4s with my bluetooth with no problem. However, it automatically also pairs with BTaudio (I have a 2011 Subaru Forrester). So when I get into my car and turn on BT, it connects with BT audio and my music from my itunes starts playing. I have to remember to pause it everytime I get into the car or it stays on and eats up my battery. I went to the Apple store and called Subaru and noone know what to do. I can't seem to pair it only with bluetooth. Anyone else have this problem and know what I can do about it?

The problem is in the car; it is requesting that the music play as soon as the iPhone connects. I have the same problem with my Prius. Except I unpaired it, then paired it again and this time said NO to play music via BT. When I want to play music from the phone I plug it in to the USB outlet in the car, which also charges the phone and gives me Toyota's Entune Internet access through the phone. But it also starts playing as soon as I connect it, which I agree is annoying.

IPhone 5 Bluetooth Audio Problem w/ Car Stereo (Pioneer AVH-P3300BT)

I tried looking around to see if anyone else had this issue, and didn't find an answer.
I have a Pioneer AVH-P3300BT car stereo, and while it doesn't play music via bluetooth, it does have a very nice setup for talking on the phone.
It's always worked fine with my iPhone 4, 4S, and also several Android handsets. It even worked fine on my 4S after upgrading to iOS 6. But now I have an iPhone 5, and the audio quality is just horrendous. I can kind of hear the person on the other end, but according to whoever I'm talking to, my voice sounds garbled and "demonic". The iPhone 5 on iOS 6 is the only device this happens with. Is there a fix for this, or is it at least a known bug? I would hate for my expensive car audio setup to be rendered useless for the purpose I bought it.
The deck also displays other information from the connected phone, such as signal strength and battery level. When the iPhone 5 is connected, it shows a dead battery (even when full) and a completely full signal (which is almost never really true).
I can use the phone with my Plantronics bluetooth headset and there are no sound quality issues there.

Same here. Why doesn't anyone from support offer a Solution or at least reply????
This issue has nothing to do with your brand of audiosystem. I talked to quite a few iPhone 5-ers and they ALL have the same issue.
@Apple solve this!!!! And reply!!

Bluetooth audio problem

I have 3 Bluetooth headsets. They used to all work, but now they still connect and show they are connected, but I cannot speak or hear through any of them. They have the contacts downloaded and I can answe call and hang up calls from them, but I hear nothing. When they are connected and I make a call they do not show up in the Audio selection, I only have speaker now.

HI,
Try deleting the Bluetooth preference file.
com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
MacintoshHD/Library/Preferences.
Move that file to the Trash and restart your MacBookPro.
Also, sometimes removing a Blluetooth device from System Preferences/Bluetooth and re "pairing" the device can help.

Bluetooth problem in ideapad s210 touch windows 8.1 and audio problem

Hi .. i have lenovo s 210
i have a problem with audio output, the sound is muted and it said that my bluetooth audio device can not be started. i download realtek High definition from the support system and the audio system start working again. But when i check the device manager the bluetooth problem still not fixed. It said i had a code 10 problem. I just recently update my windows to 8.1, but before there is no problem with the audio... and recently i find out that i can not use my bluetooth too. and all the bluetooth system seems doesn't work out
what should i do??
thanks

Actually, I solved this issue myself after a while.
I induced a system restore prior to the date when I began to experience this error.
It then happened once more, so I went to the "PC Settings" menu and selected "Update and recovery".
There were apparently updates to be installed, so I clicked "More details/information", and found that there were 3 Intel-related drivers that were listed, but for some reason, Windows 8 didn't automatically install them, so I checked each one of them and proceeded to install them and it has been smooth sailing for me ever since that.
SO.
A piece of advice for all those who have experienced the issue I detailed in my former post:
Check what updates need to be installed on your computer in the "PC Settings" app thing, and see if there are any driver-realted updates (like for your graphics card, especially).

Audio problem with T61 running windows 7

hello,
After installing windows 7 Enterprise on my T61, I have no sound.
Driver seems to be installed correctly (Device manager), speakers taskbar icon looks & functioning OK, but i can't hear nothing.
I've installed the suggested Vista driver from Lenovo web site, but the problem remains...
I must mention that there was no problem while using Windows 7 RC, the problem started after installing a clean copy of Win 7 pro.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Eyal.

I've installed win7 over a dozen times on T61 models and never had a problem. Perhaps if you can provide more information, did you reformat your drive before install, or install overtop an existing windows version? If it helps, all my installations are on a freshly formatted partition. Windows installs working drivers on everything except the ricoh card reader, for that you just need to manually install the vista drivers from device manager and it will work. I then run system update and it installs newer drivers for some of the hardware, but like I said, never had an audio problem.

Firefox plugin breaks after Bluetooth audio switching

Tracked down a bug to the FF flash plugin: On XP sp2 using FF
2.0.0.12 and Flash 9.0.47.0 (rolled back from the 9.0.115.0
disaster) after starting then stopping a Bluetooth audio session
(a2dp), Flash no longer plays audio/video. All the usual sites stop
working (youtube, cnn video, imeem, etc) I can get it to start
working again only by restarting Firefox.
Background info: when using Bluetooth headphones, XP's audio
output is routed to the Bluetooth receiver (in my case, by a
Broadcomm bluetooth stack) After ending the session, the audio is
routed back (eg to the desktop speakers). Flash handles being
routed to the receiver, but not being routed back.
I know it's not FF itself, b/c other FF multimedia plugins
handle the transitions fine (eg. quicktime). I know it's specific
to the FF version, b/c on IE, the flash plugin works fine after
Bluetooth switches.
Anyone have any similar problems? Restarting FF doesn't sound
like a problem, but with many tabs open, it takes forever.
I'll try sending this in to Adobe, but after seeing their
(non)response to the buggy as fcuk 9.0.115.0 player, I doubt they
even test their FF version, let alone follow up on bug
reports.

*bump. Any ideas anyone?

The option to stream Bluetooth audio no longer exists since updating to IOS 5.0.1. What can I do?

Please help me get this Bluetooth stream problem fixed. I miss being able to listen to tunes! Yes, I can plug it in, but the Bluetooth is so nice. My Bluetooth headset and Bluetooth to Sync in my Ford works too. But no audio. The option used to be on Pandora, iPod, etc.... But the option no longer exists.

Yea, Its quite strange.
It has been working perfectly fine for me for about 6 months that I have had my car.
Now suddenly I cant connect and the only thing that changed, is that my iphone automatically updated to 5.01..
My Kias bluetooth firmware has not changed. And it surely cannot be changed over air.
When it works its quite the feature.. Its amazing for connecting iphones to cars.
switching tracks with the wheel, volume.. all worked great before this update for me..
I'll try and reset everything tonight and see, but I have tried deleting and re-pair the 2 devices together, to the same result.
Once... I did get a phone call, which then the voice did stream through the car, and then suddenly,
my sorento did come up in the volume output tab, but then it disappeared..and left me back with the default iphone/iphone speaker..

My ipod touch 4th gen won't pair with bluetooth audio receiver?

My ipod touch 4th gen won't pair with my aluratech istream universal bluetooth audio receiver. It automatically paired the first time I used it, but now will not pair. I removed the bluetooth receiver from the ipod because it kept saying make sure the receiver device is on and within range. Now it doesn't even detect the bluetooth receiver. Any ideas?

Thank you! We got the bluetooth receiver to use with our car stereo and our motorcycle stereo and were very frustrated when it quit working. Thank you for helping me solve the problem!

Yoga 13 - Bluetooth audio

Hi all,
Just bought my Yoga yesterday and am thoroughly enjoying it. A problem I encountered was when trying to pair the Bluetooth to a Belkin A2DP receiver (essentially, it appears as a Bluetooth audio headset to the computer). Audio quality sent to the speaker is very poor. I verified that the Belkin unit was functioning properly by pairing two other Bluetooth devices and having no issues with audio playback. I also updated to the latest RealTek Bluetooth driver on Lenovo's website. Still with bad audio quality. Any suggestions appreciated :-)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi HummerMan3,
Thanks for posting. Sorry hear about the issues you're facing.
I too have a yoga I do agree it is a superb machine. In regards to the bluetooth Audio, Personally I have not tested the bluetooth or the Bluetooth Audio. I was just wondering when you mentioned the audio being really poor, do mean that the sound distorts or does the sound does not play loudly? How about when playing normally on the laptop? Do still get the same results.
Sorry for the list of question, but just wanted to be sure what exactly I'm dealing with.
Do let me know.
Regards

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.
