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.

  • 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.

  • I downloaded itunes, but it says I have an audio problem and can't play the game I purchased, any ideas?

    I downloaded itunes on my pc, but it says I have an audio problem and won't let me play the game I purchased, any ideas?

    Why do you assume that this problem is a "bug" that Apple has to address, and not a problem with your phone, that you need to address.  Do you see others having this specific problem?
    Try:
    1. Reset phone (no data loss): press both the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears
    2. Install using iTunes on your computer/

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 10.9.2 Audio problems (and "reportcrash" stuck)

    Since updating ive been having problems. My MBox2 has been rendered useless. The audio from both daw and sytem is distrorted and garbled when it does work. I reinstalled the latest drivers, I repaired permissions and disk and even reinstalled the system; no dice, still fustratingly distorted audio. I don't know what else to do, I need this to work. Even though the built in line out I've been getting these horrible pops(since 10.9.1) Also now VLC hangs for a while on launch and causes "reportcrash" in the activity monitor to constantly use over 100%cpu and force quitting only causes it to respawn, I have to restart the system. While I'm glad my mail now works again, I wish I could revert back to 10.9.1. I'd happly take mail issues over the loss of my audio interface and production workflow.

    Sorry, forgot to mention -
    Our Windows PC (AirParrot installed) can still mirror to ATV. So can our IPhones
    IPhone, Android tablet, Windows PC can all still connect to/access files on LaCie CloudBox.

  • Audio problems and can't open project to another computer.

    I'd like some help with moving a project from my G4 powerbook (10.4.3 1Gb RAM) to my G5 iMac (10.4.4 1.5Gb RAM) both with ilfe 06 installed. I copied the project file across and it won't start up on my iMac. The reason I'm trying to move the project over is that the audio quality on the entire (powerbook) project is absolutely u.s. (created on my brand new powerbook with factory settings intact). I have already used iMovie on my iMac with the same camera and it worked just fine and was kinda hoping that 'porting it over might cure the problem, although I'm not at all sure it will. I think the fault is probably embedded in the original. (incidentally, I CAN open the moved project when I connect my powerbook to my iMac)
    Audio problem:
    I noticed, while importing the clips, that my powerbook started sporadically cutting out the audio (unusual I thought!) but I was under a bit of pressure to complete and thought it was just a temporary glitch.
    I'd appreciate some help with that also, if anyone has a suggestion.
    Anyway, as I said, the project simply won't open on my iMac (I've checked permissions they seem OK) iMovie starts up when I click the project, but stalls until I click iMovie's icon in the dock, where upon the previous project I worked on loads up fine.
    Most frustration overall, I thought if I had 2 machines I would have ultimate flexibility - It's not woking out like that at all.
    I'm apprehensive about upgrading my powerbook to 10.4.4 at the moment - frightened I'll loose the whole thing!!
    I've used iMovie 2, 3 and 5, never had any issues like this before.
    iMac G5 + Powerbook G4 (10.4.3)   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Same here. I don't have a solution, but I understand exactly your problem. This is what I did.
    Imported movies into iPhoto from stills camera.
    Opened iMovie, new project bla bla, dragged from event library (iphoto videos).
    Made/edited movie etc.
    All gone well. Exported to iTunes/iDVD etc no problem.
    Now, I don't need to keep all the original video clips in iPhoto so can I delete them?
    Yeah sure, I'll just drag the iMovie project to my ext HD as per the iMovie help files.(in iMovie)
    Opened project that is now on ext HD.
    File/Consolidate/Copy clips & Move events.
    But.... it doesn't. The 'Copy clips' box even says '2.2gb' which is the right amount for the movie clips. But they never go to the iMovie project file on my ext HD.???

  • Audio Problems and Webcam Stuff

    See my name is Josiah Blodget and  I'm 17 years old I wanted to tell you guys this. So yesterday I was moving icons around and I keep deleting mutiple copies of icons and I keep the originals. Then when I got on today my audio was acting all werid like for example when I'm on You Tube even when the volume is not on mute you can't hear it. I think it had something to do with me moving the icons. So that's my first problem.
       My second problem is that when I'm on Internet Exopler the web cam is not on there but when it's Google Chorme it's works. I remeber months ago I remeber I accidently deleted my You Cam Icon and that is the second probem I wanted to confrim with you. Thank you for reading this.

    Basically if you're having audio problems in Vista, you should look for latest Vista drivers from your chipset manufacturers website (links can be found in the Download forum here), and if you cannot obtain Vista drivers then you should look to buying a new sound card which does have Vista support
    Wait and buy a new sound card. Test this first!  Install lets say XP and then after your normal soundcard installation "copy" the installed sounddrivers folder for you specific card. Then you paste that folder on a usb drive/cd or another harddrive that you again c/p inside to Vista when thats installed. Check in the device manager for audio and Update that with the drivers from your copied drivers folder from XP if you dont get an automatic driverinstallation. If you do use that guide. Vista will prolly scream that the drivers where'nt checked etc. Skip that mess and just install anyway (on your own risk ofcourse!  ) and then reboot the pc. If all goes well as it did for me the sound will now work flawless even if not a specific software that came with the card might do. If this tip didnt work well then its probably time for a total new soundcard that does support Vista 100%. Good Luck!

  • T410 Bluetooth audio distorted and delayed

    Hi everyone, When I connect my laptop to my speakers through bluetooth, the audio gets distorted (the pitch is unusually low) and delayed. I have a ThinkPad Bluetooth 2.1 with enhanced data rate II, and the operating system is Windows 7. I have installed the latest drivers and the speakers work well with bluetooth when connected to other devices. Has anyone got an idea what this could be and how it could be solved? Best,Lambj 

    I am having a similar problem when using my Motrola S305 bluetooth headphones to listen to music files.  The audio is garbled/distorted and I can't seem to adjust by lowering volume (either on the BB or the headphones).  Phone call audio through the headphones is perfect, and the music audio is pretty good through the BB's speaker.  It's odd, but I didn't have this problem on the Tour 9630 (using the same Motorola headphones). 
    Has anybody had similar problems with the Motrola S305 headphones?  I did not see it on RIM's list of "compatible" headphones.  Maybe these issues can be addressed with an OS update?

  • Can I enable both a bluetooth audio device and digital-out port at the same time?

    Hi!  I just got a bluetooth speaker and want to use it at the same time as my audio-out port which drives speakers in another room.  In preferences, the iMac wants me to choose one or the other...  Is there a way to enable both at once?
    Thanks!

    You probably should not be using a keyboard bluetooth profile for a scanner, I am not a developer for apple so do not know the location for you to find out the correct profile you should be using for an input device that is not a keyboard. Sorry,
    I am sure if you navigate the apple developer site you will probaly finmd what you're looking for.

  • Audio problems and more after updating to 10.4.3

    After taking an OS X update to 10.4.3 from 10.4.2, I've got static instead of audio. This happens no matter what program I'm using: Bias Peak 4.14, iTunes 6.0.1, Apple DVD Player 4.6, QuickTime 7.0.3. I'm even getting static on system sounds (empty trash, delete file, etc). If I open 'Sound' in System Prefs, I'm treated to continuous static...
    My sound card settings have not changed - it's an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 running driver version 2.0.4. I've tried contacting M-Audio tech support but they're closed on weekends.
    Everything was ok before I took the update. Now i've got the static and other weird problems as well:
    If I try to play a .vob file from a commercially pressed DVD using VLC Media Player, I get the following error message "read failed - permission denied". Anything from a recordable DVD is fine (except for the audio).
    If I try to backup any file from a commercially pressed DVD, the file doesn't copy and an error message appears: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items". I double-checked with a DVD that I had previously backed up successfully using the same method and now it doesn't work.
    Any thoughts or suggestions will be most welcome.

  • 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.

  • An audio problem and a video problem

    1. I'm a total novice about audio filters. Which filder would be best to take out wind noise? I used a rabbit fur baffle but still got a bit of wind noise. It cannot be reshot.
    2. Sometimes when I try to put a transition between two clips it seems to slip under the timeline. How can I avoid this and get the transition to center on the edit.
    Thanks for your help.

    1. SoundTrack Pro might be the best tool for this unless you have a more sophisticated audio program installed. Essentially, you'll need to sample just the wind noise then use the sample to filter the rest of the clip.
    If the wind noise is just low end rumble, one of the EQ filters may do it without leaving FCP. You'll need to play around with the settings to find what works in your situation. The main problem with wind and air noise though is that it often covers must of the audible spectrum, so any filtering you do can/will also effect the part of the sound you wanted to keep.
    2. Sounds like a "handle" issue. Make sure your clips have enough frames before the IN point and after the OUT point to support the duration of the transition you're using.
