TA24778 iPad - dropouts when streaming music via blue tooth to sound devices (Boom Box etc.).

Hello,
I use my iPad as a central music store.
But -when trying to stream music via Blue Tooth I get dropouts all the time.
It doesn't matter how far away I am, or where I'm using it. It gets a bit better when deactivating the BT Keyboard (yes, shame on me, I'm using the old style way to hack text into the Pad...), but I still get dropouts.
I checked everything, batteries are fully loaded, dis- and reconnect several times, reboot, etc.
On my devices (Logitech adapter for my home-hi-fi, Soundbric) I get the same result.
Any Ideas?
(Sorry - I can only choose "Using iPhone" as category, although I chose iPad first... Do I need to understand this?)

I'm not sure what you mean by "mixed with audio in Alsamixer". Can you clarify?
With that said, my problem did mysteriously fix itself after some update (presumably to alsa). Unfortunately, I noticed it in passing one day while I was changing the volume of something in pavucontrol, so I don't remember the exact update that caused it to work. But yes, my current setup does work now: I can listen to audio through my DAC and use the Yeti for recording. However, I have found that use of the Yeti crashes Google Hangouts, although it works perfectly in every other program I've tried.
As documentation, here is my current working setup (it is very similar to the above): in PulseAudio, the DAC is set to be a Digital Stereo (IEC958) output. The Yeti (called an 'Integrated Rate Matching Hub' in pavucontrol) is set to be an Analog Stereo Input. In the input devices section, I have the Yeti's volume set to around 58% (-14.31 dB), which is past the base volume a fair ways but produces decent levels for recording. The DAC's volume is set to 100% (0dB gain, the DAC takes care of the level). In alsamixer, I have the mic level for the Yeti set to 40.
Edit: This is a long-time-later edit, but let me say that when you have multiple USB audio devices, what USB hub and in what order they are connected seems to matter a great deal. If you can't get your Blue Yeti to work, try moving it to a different set of USB ports (controlled by a different controller) on your motherboard. This magically fixes the issue for me.

    What are you trying to do?
    The Bluetooth is meant for earplug, headset, keyboard, car hands-free set, and speakers.
    You need a 3rd party app to do BT file transfer or other functions between iDevices.

  • How do I play my iPhone 5 music via blue tooth on my car stereo

    I can play my iPhone 4 music via blue tooth on my car stereo. My iPhone 5 can connect to my car and I can make calls on my car's system. But I can't play music  what to do ?

    Consult the manual for the car kit. Put it into pairing (discoverable) mode, then go to Settings>General>Bluetooth, turn it on, and pair them.

  • HT4628 Intermittent reception when streaming music via Airport Extreme and Airport Express to powered speakers. Is this a problem with the Extreme?

    i get intermittent reception when I stream music from I Tunes via Airport Extreme and Airport Express to powered speakers. I Tunes continues to play uninterupted on the Mac.  The problem does not lie with the Express as it occurs on both of my 2 Express at the same time. is this a problem with the Extreme?

    Well, repying to my own post... Might have found the solution: I tried to do the same with a Macbook Pro 2010 using the very same setup. And it worked perfectly! No freeze, no nothing.
    One explanation I see:
    my iMac is dating back to May 2007, a Core 2 Duo 2,16Ghz with 2 Go of RAM.
    So the computer's characteristics (or the Wifi component or the combination of all of this) might be not robust enough to allow streaming to those 2 devices...
    Anyone's got anything to add?

  • Streaming stereo via blue tooth

    I have read posts regarding streaming stereo bluetooth and how it is not on the iphone. I also read some ways using v/m that people have faked the phone...
    Do you think that streaming ipod music in STEREO via bluetooh is a software update? I know we cannot speak to when it will happen, i am just trying to determine if it is software update or would require new hardware (new gen iphone)
    I am trying to decide if I want to get a bluetooth stereo headset or not
    Thanks

    I stream music in stereo to my Jabra 8010 Bluetooth headset. It supports two items pairing with it so I have my iPhone paired and the the Jabra A120S trainsmitter. It works perfectly UNTIL and WHEN/IF A2DP is activated. I would then use the transmitter for other purposes but for now works perfectly like I have bluetooth stereo. There are other transmitters available from Blue Ant, iSkin and others.
    Good Luck!

  • TS3274 how would i send my pictures from my ipad to my laptopo or computor via blue tooth?

    Hi guys...
    How would i send my pictures from my Ipad to my laptop/computer via blue tooth?

    Good afternoon
    Apple devices do not support Bluetooth file transfer.
    You can use iTunes or Photostream (if you have iCloud up ad running on both devices).  You can also send your Photos directly to apps such as Dropbox.
    Hope this helps

    IS IT possible to use an iPad to stream Music via my AX To speakers or my Home Stereo?
    No, at this point in time, it is not possible to stream from your iPad to an AX.
    However, it is possible to stream from an iTunes host to the iPad. (ref: Airfoil Speakers Touch)

  • Itunes freezes when streaming music to airport express and to loewe air speaker at the same time?

    Hi,
    (first post )
    I was recently offered a Loewe Airspeaker. I already had an Airport Express connected to a hi-fi system.
    The Airport Express + hi-fi is in the living-room and the Loewe Airspeaker is in our bedroom.
    Both are connected to my network via wifi.
    I was trying to stream music from my iMac to both the Airport Express and the Loewe Airspeaker.
    When doing this, I am able to get the same tune on both devices, but iTunes systematically freezes
    =>music continues to be streamed but interface on the iMac gets the endless multicolor wheel !
    Has anyone seen anything similar before, for ex. is there a similar issue when streaming music to 2 different Airport Express?
    Any idea on where this is coming from?
    Any idea on how to prevent this?
    Thx in advance
    Rodolphe
    A few precisions on the configuration:
    the iTunes library and corresponding music are located on a Mac Mini configured as a media server.
    The iMac connects to the mac mini via wifi (shared folder). Home network is organized via an Airport Extreme.
    Both computers run Mac OS 10.7.2 Lion and are up to date.

  • Having a strange problem. When streaming music and or music videos to my Apple TV from my Mac sometimes the Apple TV seems to loose the stream and the only way I can get it going again is to turn off home share on my Mac and then turn it on again.

    I do not have this problem when streaming music/music videos from my IPAD or my Iphone

    The speed is probably due to your network, it is quite indirect for mirror/AP.
    For the audio, you cannot split audio and video so the audio will play where the video does.

    Hi
    I would not waste your money on an Airport Express, i bought one recently and had nothing but problems with it dropping out for a few seconds when streaming airtunes. This is a known issue and there are lots of people having problems with this drop out issue and appears to be no fix for it,save your money and dont buy one

    When streaming music over bluetooth from my 3rd generation ipod touch to a sony device it jumps every 10 seconds and not just when moving or anything other devices do not do this just the ipod how can I fix this?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset the Sony device
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to repair the device and rejoin all wifi networks
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Configurin​g Treo755p (Sprint) to use as "phone as a modem" service for laptop pc via Blue Tooth

    Need help with configuring a Palm Treo755p (Sprint) to be used as "phone as a modem" with my laptop pc via Blue Tooth. The two are "paired" and I can push files (documents) from PC to phone. I can also HotSync wirelessly (via Blue Tooth). I am just wanting to "loose" the cable from the phone to the laptop pc when using "phone as a modem" for internet connectivity on my laptop pc. I see that there is a "virtual com port" established, but when I launch internet explorer, it wants to dial a number. The phone has "instant-on" internet connectivity.
    Thanks

    It may be a problem with your printer. Try posting on a Canon forum. Often times it is not your Mac.
