Bluetooth A2DP problem

I have been using Arch for a few years but I recently had to put Ubuntu on one of my computers because I bought some bluetooth speakers or headset as it is more commonly recognized by software.  I googled around and found that I need to put 'Enable=Socket' in /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf.  This gets me closer and allows me to pair, but the speakers never show up as an audio output in pavucontrol.  Somehow this works in Ubuntu.  If it works in Ubuntu, it has to be able to work in Arch.  In blueman I right click and press audio sync and it tells me a failure message that i can't remember cuz i'm at work.  If there are any logs that would be useful, let me know and i will post them.  dmesg does not show anything useful.  Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I have a set of Sony DR-BT21G headphones. It came with a bluetooth dongle which fits to the dock connector, which I no longer need to use since 3.0.
I find that just using the headphones the sound is great at first but after a using it for a while and say pausing playback and then restarting it the sound will splutter and break. Sometimes it will resume playback in silence.
Been using the 3.0 software since beta2 and it was doing the same even then. I hoped it would be fixed on the final release but this is not the case.
Anyone else having the same problem?

  • Create Midlet for Bluetooth A2DP profile

    Hello,
    I'm a newbie. I would like to know if it's possible to create a midlet for bluetooth A2DP profile. If it is, please let me know where i can get information on this.
    Thank you so much,
    Ken

    Now I'm facing the same problem with A2DP on my Nokia 6230 (original player doesn't support it) so I'm about to create my own player supporting this bluetooth protocol. I just wanted to ask you how far you've got with this.
    Thx.

  • Song playback rate is improper over Bluetooth a2dp

    I recently purchased a Bluetooth a2dp dongle to stream music wirelessly from my MacBook and iPhone. My bed is about 2.5 meters from the dongle. The playback is fine with the MacBook but with my iPhone 3G it tends to be inconsistent. I can sense a rush in the playback and then sudden chops. Simply speaking it's not smooth. It's a 3G with ios4.1 and so background apps is not an issue. There is a direct line of sight with the dongle. The MacBook plays it fine over the same distance.
    This problem is present even when my iPhone is placed next to the dongle (which actually kills the very meaning of having the dongle).
    Any help?

    the problem is only with the iPhone 3g and not with my MacBook pro.

    Intel iMac; upgraded adobe flash; bluetooth keyboard no longer pairs but magic mouse still OK. With Bluetooth switched on the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink. Switch off Bluetooth and problem disappears and iMac works OK with plug-in keyboard and mouse

    Hi, Derek -
    ...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
    Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
    It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

  • Mac Mini Bluetooth hardware problems ?

    I own a Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo 1Gb bought last October, an Apple wireless keyboard and an Apple wireless mouse, both I formerly use without any problems with my old Powerbook G4. By now, I used them with my Mac Mini it worked perfectly fine. But since two or three weeks, I’ve got big Bluetooth connection problem. Randomly, after one or two hours of use, both keyboard and mouse loose connection and the Bluetooth symbol change itself into a strange one. I had a look on your site to learn the meaning of it and the symbol is see which is a Bluetooth symbol with a horizontal zebra means that no Bluetooth hardware can be found! Does my Mac Mini built-in Bluetooth card have problems?
    Since I haven’t got any wired USB keyboard or mouse I have to reboot my Mac Mini quite roughly. Sometimes one reboot is enough to make the Bluetooth of Mac Mini to work again, sometimes not and I have to wait a little bit more (more than ten minutes). I can see it works again as the Bluetooth symbol is the right one again (the one with the dots).
    It is very annoying. And I am a bit sad to have such problems with Apple stuff. Is there something I could do to avoid such a waste of time? Or shall I call Apple Care for fear it should be a hardware problem.
    Of course, I use brand new batteries for both of them.

    My mini is doing it as well. Just started doing 2-3 weeks ago. Logitech Denovo or Apple Bluetooth. Doesn't matter which. Loses it in about an hour or so. Al Keyboards and mice were purchased at about the same time as the core 2 duo mini, ~ last October.
    Must power cycle the machine to get it back and it must be paired again. Very annoying. Can't remember if it coincides with an Apple update.
    This mini has had the superdrive replaced twice, once within 6 weeks of purchase. Ever since Leopard, it's been close to the best media head. now this...
    Sigh.
    (What makes it not the best? Frontrow doesn't sort titles correctly [1, 10, 2, 3 - wrong!], doesn't force mount aliases in the movies directory, doesn't put out 1080p without hacking. And I'd so love eyeTV integration with Frontrow. It'd be perfect then.)

  • 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
    Savcom

    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.

  • 9780 and Playbook bluetooth connection problem

    I have never experienced bluetooth connecting problems between my 9780 and Playbook 64 previously ... but for last few days I cannot connect them. I have deleted both devices and re-paired successfully. I have turned both fully off (removed 9780 battery) and still no connection.
    I have tested both devices by successfully connecting each of them to other bluetooth devices. They just will not connect to each other for some reason.
    The only change was the recent Playbook Software update.
    I use the Bridge and Tethering all the time and so need Bluetooth to be working ... thanks for any assistance.
    Solved!

    maybe you can uninstall then reinstall the Bridge app on your 9780.

  • Bluetooth a2dp/avrcp

    Ever since a week after the first Iphones were released (when I bought my first one), I've been waiting for Iphone to support bluetooth a2dp/avrcp.
    I bought a 3G-S yesterday. I have 3 different a2dp/avrcp products I've paired it with: my Sony car stereo, a Motorola MOTOROKR S9 and a 3rd device (I forget the make/model). All three seem to play the music via a2dp fine. But I cannot get skip-to-next-track and skip-to-beginning-of-track ( |<< and >>| )to work on any of them. Play/pause works on the 2nd and 3rd device, but not on the car stereo. On the car stereo when I hit pause I hear a split-second pause and then it continues playing.
    So my question is, does the Iphone 3G-S not support the avrcp protocol or is it buggy?

    The iPhone 3GS' Bluetooth profile does not support forward and back, only pause and play via stereo Bluetooth. I had this issue as well, and had to dig around the apple site to find out the supported profiles. My car stereo has the capability to transfer the phonebook contacts to the stereo so you can see a name rather than a phone number; however since the iphone's profile does not support file transfer or sharing I cannot use this feature on my stereo. I hope Apple updates this soon as well as the forward/rewind Bluetooth functionality so I can keep my phone secured in my purse without having to take it out to change the song or see who is calling me while driving.
    Go to this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
    it lists the supported profiles. Pay close attention to the * toward the bottom. It states only pause and play are supported.

    Hi, Colin!
    The most closely related Apple KnowledgeBase articles to what you've described that come to mind are:
        • Apple Wireless Mouse: How to Install or Replace Batteries
        • Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Wireless Mouse: How to Check the Battery Level
        • Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse: Troubleshooting Connection Issues
        • Bluetooth: How to Set Up Your Apple Wireless Mouse. [1]
    These articles are a good place to start with troubleshooting this problem.
    When you're having trouble with your iMac G5, searching the KnowledgeBase can often be a big help. Notice that several categories of resources are available. If you have any difficulty at first adjusting to the search engine (I did), check out the ~new Search Help webpage.
    I'll post back a little later with some further comments about what I've observed of my (& other folks') difficulties and solutions with changing batteries and reconnecting, etc.
    Please post back to share your progress and to discuss this further.
    Hang in there!
    Warm regards,
    Dean
    [1] Please note that having a backup "wired" mouse may be required to resolve Bluetooth connection problems. As the "How to Set Up..." article cited above says:"Use a Wired USB Keyboard and Mouse During Setup
    
During the setup process, you'll need to use a USB mouse before the Apple Wireless Mouse can work. Keep a USB mouse connected to the computer until you've completed setting up the Apple Wireless Mouse. After setup is complete, you can disconnect the USB mouse."
    In my experience, a "wired" keyboard is only required when there's a connection problem for which using a startup keyboard shortcut is a critical troubleshooting tool.   (Some of the startup key combinations for Intel-based Macs are different.)

  • About Bluetooth A2DP

    Is there this option (Bluetooth A2DP) in N95-1?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    what exactly are you asking? if you asking "if it can be turned on or off?" then the answer is "no." a2dp is already installed on the n95. for it to work all you need to do is pair the headset with the phone, and when you start playing music it will begin streaming to the headset immediately. there is no "on" or "off" option.
    everything happens for a reason

  • IOS 4.3 Bluetooth Headset Problem

    Does anyone have this similar problem?
    My bluetooth headset (handsfree) disconnects intermittently every few minutes (and auto reconnects in 10 to 20 secs). The "Personal Hotspot" option was disabled as I thought it was interferring with the bluetooh connection.
    But after some trial and error, I disabled the Wi-Fi option, and it solved the bluetooth disconnection problem.
    Prior to IOS 4.2, I have never encountered this problem. Does anyone know how I can downgrade back to IOS4.2?

    After upgrading to iOS 4.3, within a few days later my Jabra WAVE encountered problems with its Bluetooth connectivity. I had no problems pairing with both my iPhone4 and my MacBook (aluminium uni-body model). Unfortunately, I can't control my Jabra WAVE's volume control any more which was clearly shown on my iPhone4. Worse of all, I can hear the caller's voice but not vice versa.
    I thought my Jabra WAVE was faulty, and I tested it on Skype via my MacBook. To my surprise it worked flawlessly. I've a hunch that iOS 4.3 is still very buggy, and Apple iOS engineers haven't rectified lots of these bugs since the last version.
    This is a terrible pain for everyone who's upgraded to iOS 4.3. Bummer

  • Apt-x Support for Bluetooth A2DP?

    Hi,
    are there any plans to support the apt-X codec for the Bluetooth A2DP Profile? Maybe that could solve some of the bad A2DP audio qualitiy issues, that are still expierienced by some users (including me) on all the available phones (tested Pre- with 1.4.5, Pre+ with 1.4.5 and 2.1, Pixi Plus with 1.4.5, Pre2 with 2.0 and 2.1, all gave the same issues with different headsets and receivers!).
    apt-X seems to be coming quite fast, not only because apple has built in support for it in it's latest products, but also because it offers CD level quality on low encoding cost, which is MUCH more than the poor SBC codec can deliver.
    I hope HP with it's Beat audio line of products will consider adding such enhanced A2DP codecs to the mobile devices... wireless headsets are so much more convinient than anything wired can be. But at the momen A2DP sound quality is unbearable with my Palm handsets and I still have no clue where that issue arises from (my last guess is, that it's connected to me being an european costumer and we are few compared to the majority of the us costumers. As far as I understood there are differences in the radio part of the handsets between EU and US devices, so maybe those differences break A2DP Bluetooth quality).
    Post relates to: Pre Plus p100ueu (Vodafone)

    Thanks for all of the replies. I also saw in the Z white paper that the apt-X codec is not listed, so the question becomes "can apt-X be pushed via a software update?"
    For those interested in streaming to your home stereo or powered speaker, here's what I ended up doing.
    Purchased a Rocketfish Bluetooth Music Receiver from Best Buy (in the US). It is a pretty slick lttle device, about the same size as the power plug adaptor and it supports A2DP and apt-X. There are two audio outputs: analog via a headphone jack and optical. And it ships with a 6' 3.5mm stereo audio cable and a  RCA adaptor.
    Setup was easy. Connect the audio to the stereo's AUX inputs, set the stereo's source to AUX, plug in the BT receiver power, turn on the tablet Bluetooth on the tablet and play music.
    At first the sound was pretty compressed from MP3's, Pandora and the Google Play service.The fix was to go into the Google Play app > settings > equalizer. Click on "surround sound" and change the setting from "headphone" to "studio".Then play with the equalizer settings to tweak.Results in much improved audio.
    Happy camper now... music streaming through the house and no wires!

  • Convoy 2 bluetooth connection problems

    We have 48 Convoy 2 phones. Three of these need to use bluetooth. All three of the Convoy 2 phones that need to use bluetooth have problems staying connected to their paired devices. Two of the phones need to connect to Jawbone headsets. We have carefully followed instructions and factory reset the the Jawbones then paired them with the Covoy 2. The connections drop off/on dozens of times per day. The connection distance is only two feet. The third phone has a bluetooth connection to a Jeep Command Center for hands free phone use while driving. It has a connection distance of less than two feet. It drops the connection but does not auto reconnect. One must turn the Convoy 2 off/on to reconnect.
    Has anyone else experienced bluetooth problems with the Convoy 2? Any suggestion regarding the Jawbones? These are expensive two year old headsets with bluetooth v2.0. The Convoy 2 has bluetooth v2.1, which is supposed to be backward compatible with earlier bluetooth versions.

    Does anyone from Verizon read these posts?
    Turns out there is a Verizon Bluetooth website: here. The model of Jawbone with which we are having difficulty is not on the list of devices for the Convoy 2. Does this mean it is not compatible? We purchased the Jawbones (JBT03 and JBT04) in August 2009. The specs of these models say they are compatible with bluetooth v2.1 phones, That's the same version of bluetooth used by the Convoy 2. These Jawbones worked fine with the Verizon phones replaced by the Convoy 2. By the way, we tried pairing the Convoy 2 with a recent Motorola headset. Like the Jawbones, the communication between the Motorola headset and the Convoy 2 phone spontaneously switched off/on dozens of times per day.
