Bluetooth - HP Envy 1001-TX -- A2DP

Hi,
I own an HP Envy 1001-tx laptop that is running Windows 7. I recently purchased a stereo system (Sony CMT-SBT100) that can connect to Bluetooth devices so that it plays the music through the stereo's speakers.
I can connect my tablets to the stereo and play the music through the stereo's speakers without any problems, however I am having trouble connecting my laptop to the stereo via BT.
My laptop detects the stereo and from what I can tell, it appears they connect via bluetooth (the speaker icon appears when I click the BT icon on Windows 7) , however when I play music on my laptop, it does not come through the stereo's speakers.
To my knowledge I have the most up-to-date drivers BT from HP installed on my laptop, and I hve been trying to connect my laptop to the stereo when all of my other BT devices are off.
Can some please help me with getting my laptop to connect to my Stereo via BT in such a way that I can play my laptop's music through my stereo's speakers?
Does this have anything to do w/ A2DP/
Thanks!

Hi,
They can see BUT have they been established the connection ? Normally you have to accept and USE passcode to allow them to connect before you can use.

Bluetooth on Envy 17.3

I have an Envy 17.3 (G0U21AV) laptop, running Windows 8.1 Pro.
Does anyone know if this laptop comes with Bluetooth?
I do not see it listed in Device Manager, but I have one “Unknown device”. However, I have been to the HP drivers site, let their system detect my laptop and have installed the two Bluetooth drivers they suggest. They both install with no errors, but I still don’t see Bluetooth in device manager.
This question was solved.

Hi,
I believe it's a CTO machine and only you know. I know my loan Envy 17.3 with Leap Motion does not have Bluetooth. Normally, it should shows under Network adapters. Now you are saying there is unknown device, please post back its hardware id using the following way to find it out:
http://www.wikihow.com/Find-Hardware-ID
Did you downgrade/upgrade the machine ?

Full Bluetooth functionality in Bootcamp (audio, A2DP, FTP, OBEX)

When runing Windows 7 in a native bootcamp partition you may have experienced issues when trying to pair android devices, audio sinks, headsets, etc. For earlier Mac models (2010 and earlier) the workaround consisted in using the broadcom drivers released by Acer or HP. However, the later 2011 models including MBA mid 2011, Macbook Pro and iMac will not allow you to install those drivers. Neither will Broadcom oficial updater recognize your bluetooth built in device.
The good news: after several weeks googling and installing/uninstalling pretty much every available driver on the internet I managed to have all my bluetooth devices wroking on Windows 7 x64 (bootcamp partition) on my MBA MID 2011.
You have at least 3 options
     1.- Bluesoleil Stack: Altugh the chip is not offitially supported you can get it "brut force" recognized. This is described here:
               https://discussions.apple.com/message/17611577#17611577
     2.- Toshiba Stack: The version 8.0 works pretty good specially for Audio devices the audio quality is pretty the best you will get. Same as above you need to force the recognition of your chip
               The toshiba stack (30 days trial)
               http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/pages/disclaimer.php?dt=bts&download=3-64bi t
     3.- Thank again to Acer (and not to Apple) we can get also a fully functional profile in a hardware we have paid a lot of money for. BUT WARNING! here you SHOULD NOT install the drivers!. Install only the utility suit instead. Pay carefull attention or you will get a blue screen and you will need to uninstall the drivers in safe mode or even have to do a clean Windows install. Uninstall all your paired BT devices (except for Magic Mouse and or keyboard you can leave them paired)
          a.- Download the drivers
               http://www.pcdrivershop.com/aspire_4830TG_Bluetooth_Atheros_7.4.0.96_W7x64_A.zip
          b.- Unzip the file and explore the following folder
              \Bluetooth(4.0)_Atheros_7.4.0.96_W7x64\Bluetooth_Suite_win7. Run Win764.exe or Win732 according to your OS.
               Let the software install and restart.
          c.- Pair your devices and enjoy!!!.
Options 1 and 2 (Bluesoleil and Toshiba Stack) are good options however they are paid-off softwares but what could be more important for many useres is that they completely override the Microsoft bluetooth stack and therefore Apple devices (like magic mouse) will loose some functionality I wasn't able to get the touch scrolling or the gestures working with those stacks. The 3th option however will not completeley override the Microsoft stack (used by Apple's drivers) and therefore Apple Magic mouse will work perfectly. The Atheros bluetooth suit will only add the requiered protocols and make them interact with the Microsoft stack. The disadvantage of the latest is that the audio quality is not even close as the one you are gonna get with the Toshiba stack and not say about configurability...
I hope I will save some of you some time and many headaches.

How do I install a Toshiba stack?
This worked on my Mackbook air mid - 2011Windows 7 x64. Be aware that you will loose the "magic scrolling" in case you are using a bluetooth magic mouse. Otherwise all bluetooth devices have been working as a chram with the Toshiba stack.
To make it work, follow this steps:
http://linkopia.blogspot.com/2009/05/a2dp-stereo-bluetooth-on-win-xp-boot.html
But instead of downloading the toshiba stack in the above link, download the x64 stack you will find in the link bellow:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/pages/disclaimer.php?dt=bts&download=3-64bi t
once you have "tricked" the stacks restart and run the Toshiba assistant

Bluetooth Issue ENVY dv7 C2Y65AV After Win 8.1 to Win 7 Downgrade

My laptop is an ENVYdv7 C2Y65AV
It originally came with Windows 8.0, and I upgraded later to 8.1.
I never liked 8.0 or 8.1 so I “downgraded” to Windows 7 Professional. I did my research, realizing there may be issues. I downloaded drivers, bought a new hard drive, etc.
All went better than expected and I am happy with the “downgrade”, save for 1 issue.
1- I am having difficulty getting my Bluetooth to connect completely to any of my devices (headphones or headset).
My WiFi works well, I believe the Bluetooth 4.0 is part of the Intel Centrino WiFi card . When connecting any Bluetooth device, it does show in the Bluetooth devices screen. It will discover it and “connect” to it, but nothing happens when I try to use them. The sound still comes from the laptop speakers.
I have the Intel Centrino Wireless N 2230 BNHMW that came with the laptop. It worked well with Windows 8.1. All my Bluetooth devices paired easily with the laptop when Windows 8.1 is running.
I have been to Intel's website, made sure my driver for the wireless card for Windows 7 is the correct and latest version. They have a software utility that installs on your laptop, then searches and downloads the correct, latest version.
I downloaded all the drivers for this downgrade from HP's (this) website's software and driver support section. What a great resource this site is!
Suggestions? Advice?
I appreciate any help!
Thank you,
James
P.S.
An interesting thing about Windows 8.1.
When I installed Windows 7 Professional, I bought a new SSD hard drive just for this purpose. I had saved my pulled hard drive with Windows 8.1 on it just in case this downgrade didn't fare well.
Just for grins, I added it as a second hard drive (later) in case I needed to get missed files.
When I rebooted my laptop, I went into the boot manager, and selected my primary drive with Windows 7. It booted up normally.
Then seconds after booting, a message popped up saying I needed to reboot for the changes to take effect. I didn't recall making any, but figured something had updated?
So I did. I rebooted and Windows 8.1 took over, and changed files on my SSD hard drive (win 7 drive) that ultimately disabled that drive from booting Windows 7.
Trying to boot into the Windows 7 hard drive froze right after the Windows 7 splash screen.
I pulled the plug on the Windows 8.1 hard drive, rebooted to Windows 7. Before I could though, it had to scan the hard drive for changes, and correct them. Then Windows 7 booted up normally.
This Windows 8.1 sure is controlling. Can you say “Hal” from the movie “2001 A Space Odessay”
This question was solved.

Thank You Pepe999,
This Bluetooth issue has been resolved by following your suggestion and replacing my WiFi/ Bth card with a new Intel AC 7260.
Worked like a charm...Thank you!
Now my Windows 7 "downgrade" is complete. ALL is working, and working better for me than the windows 8.0 an later 8.1 it had.

[Solved] Bluetooth A2DP source to pulseaudio OR ALSA

Edit
So, I'm happy to say that I have it working to some degree!
I wasn't happy with the default bluez tools, but I managed to find a useful set of tools which seemed to work better: http://gitorious.org/bluez-tools/bluez-tools/
I compiled and make'd them, then created the following startup script to set up everything in the order it is needed for the next part to work: https://gist.github.com/c990e397388bd4399a15
I made a file called bluetoothPin in the home directory with the following in it:
<My phone's MAC (without the angle brackets)> <A Pin Number>
The bt-agent command in the startup.sh script uses that file to authorise connections. I aim to modify it to allow any connection to connect with the same pin, I'll get into that later.
For the actual streaming, I installed qt so I could get the qdbus binary, then I followed the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … st10492742
That code worked, so I modified it a little so that it would wait for a connection, then make the connection, then wait for a new connection on disconnect: https://gist.github.com/8e32a9cf786995c00f2f
It's not perfect; things get a bit iffy when you try to pair and then connect a device without rebooting the pi: It disconnects gracefully, and it pairs correctly, but pulse doesn't seem to re-add it to its list, so it's no longer identified by my script. Also I haven't figured out how to pair any device against the same pin code yet. Any help with that would be awesome!
Hi there,
I'm trying to build a bluetooth audio receiver server for my car! I have a raspberry pi with arch installed on it, bluez set up and configured (I can pair my phone with it through the bluez-simple-agent, although I think I'll have to write my own pairing daemon to auto-pair anything that attempts to connect).
Baby steps though: I've got bluez all set up as I mentioned earlier, but pulse doesn't seem to "see" the bluetooth connection. I'm not sure exactly what information you guys need to help me, but I've tried to add everything I could think of:

About my project in general:
I want to be able to do the following:
- Give pulseaudio access to the bluetooth device, and use the A2DP protocol to receive the audio. From my research, it is possible, but I'm not sure how.
- Open up bluez so that I can pair any device by connecting with "1234" for the auth, then it will automatically check for A2DP and give that information to pulse
The idea being that any bluetooth device can pair without any interaction from the raspberry pi, and then pulse will have access to all of the devices which are playing music.
1] Is this even possible?
2] Can I use alsa instead as it seems it'd be easier/lighter to manage?
3] Are there any documents other than arch's bluetooth and pulse wikis that I can read to help me figure this out?

Actually I've solved it myself by looking at the wiki page I posted.
I am not sure about what you said but PulseAudio doesn't require ALSA (alsa-lib, alsa-utils, sort of) to play sound except when with those applications that do not have direct support (now even Flash have that). But maybe the drivers for sound cards in Linux kernel could be said as a part of ALSA, then I am not sure about those stuff.

HT3563 How do I change a bluetooth profile on my macbook pro from headset to headphone (a2dp) audio only so it will not conflict in my multipoint stereo headset shared with my iphone.

I have a LG HBS-700 bluetooth stereo headset and "in order to access Multi-Connection mode, at least one of the two devices you are trying to connect to the HBS-700 must be able to select a profile, OR one of the two devices must only support one profile (Either Headset/Hands-Free or A2DP/AVRCP). For example: Two handsets which support both the Headset/Hands-Free and A2DP/AVRCP profiles cannot be connected to the HBS-700 simultaneously. But, one handset supporting Headset/Hands-Free/A2DP/AVRCP and a Bluetooth Stereo Dongle supporting only A2DP/AVRCP is OK".

Backup your computer. You may have to replace the HD.

A2DP Bluetooth Music Streaming

I've been able to stream music from my iPhone through my car stereo via a Parrot MK6000 hands free Bluetooth device and an iCombi A2DP Bluetooth adapter (Buy at Oakley.com). The iCombi is an adapter for iPods that have the same dock connections as the iPhone so the device works perfectly.
The Parrot device handles the communication between the stereo and the phone, muting the music and allowing the call to be received, while the iCombi adapter provided the music streaming, again that is interrupted when a call comes in.
The biggest draw back is the that you can't charge the iPhone while you have the iCombi adapter attached.
The iCombi adapter also allows you to use Bluetooth headphones to listen to music.
This is a not a perfect configuration, I have experienced some glitches such as the music continuing to play while I receive a call, it still works well enough until Apple provides and update that embraces A2DP Bluetooth.

A nice suggestion that I may go with but I'm still interested in finding a wireless solution. I'd like to get in my car with music already playing on the phone and have the car stereo pick it up and play through the speakers, then receive a phone call hearing the caller through the car speakers and use a mic in car that would work for my part of the call. All wirelessly. Thats how it works in my wife's car but she has bluetooth so I'm trying to duplicate the capability.

Bluetooth a2dp not working in L412

I want to know whether the bluetooth hardware in L412 support A2DP. I'm unable to send audio on a sony bluetooth headset. Whereas my android device can send audio.
Kindly confirm.
regards

Well, I decided I didn't want to put up with this anymore, so my Pre went back to the store yesterday. I'm just sick of having a phone that's missing one crucial feature or another--I've been a loyal Palm customer for many years now, but it seems like they have turned into a second-class company. Lack of support and updates, shoddy products, etc.--it just seems like they never quite get it right.
So, I'm somewhat sorry to say it, but I'm going to get an iphone. While I'd prefer to have a device that had a physical QWERTY keyboard, I'm willing to put up with a virtual one as long as the phone operates correctly.
So, thanks for the memories, Palm! On to the iphone I go.........

Bluetooth Stereo Pairing A2DP

I have a couple of Bluetooth Stereo devices that are A2DP compliant - headphones and speakers by Blueant. (When paired to my iMac, when connecting, you are given the option to connect as a headset OR as headphones, as they can work as either). When I pair to my iPhone after the upgrade, they seem to only connect as a telephone headset, and I cannot listen to the iPhone iPod or radio music stations. Am I doing something wrong? I don't seem to have any ability to adjust the Bluetooth settings on the iPhone to connect as stereo headsets. Separately, I thought that I could now pair the iPhone to my iMac to transfer files, etc., but the only Bluetooth services that appear are serial port or modem options. Ideas?

Can you tell me which Motorola headphones you got to work without issues.
I just got a 27" i7 iMac and would like to be able to watch or listen to music without using my external speakers without disturbing the family. This is a really beautiful machine and would love to sit or lay in bed and have the comfort of watching a movie on that HUGH screen!
thanks
p.s or can you recommend a good bluetooth or wireless stereo headphones that can do the job.

No sound on my Sony Bluetooth Headset because Windows 7 can't find Bluetooth peripheral device driver

SO, I am dealing this problem for the second day in a row and no working solution still. I own the latest iMac 2014 (though the model is exactly as 2013) 2,7 Ghz with Bluetooth 4.0, I've installed through Bootcamp Windows 7 x64. My bluetooth headset Sony DR-BTN200 http://store.sony.com/bluetooth-headphones-zid27-DRBTN200//cat-27-catid-All-Home -Theater-Headphones (which is on Bluetooth 3.0 and of 2013 year model) is working fine with Mavericks and Yosemite on my MBP, but not working as it should on iMac with Windows 7..
THE PROBLEM: I find the headset, connect it, but afterwards Windows writes that no drivers for Bluetooth peripheral device were found (3 or 4 encriptions like this, so, 3-4 drivers needed). The headset itself guarrantees fine working with Windows 8, the producer doesn't give any drivers to install, you won't find them on Sony's website - it should work as plug-n-play, they say those drivers are preinstalled on Windows 8.
WHAT I'VE TRIED: So, the problem, as I've read from many-many-many sources is common for everybody running Windows on Mac devices. In cases with notebooks it is easy to solve (if you know it) - download the Bluetooth software from Broadcom (the producer of Bluetooth adapters/receivers of Macs) http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/update.php - install, it finds the devices and istalls correct driver. This worked with my MacBook Pro 2010, on iMac it stucks on recognizing devices - nothing happens next, like it doesn't recognize any bluetooth device. Downloading many other drivers packages didn't help either, nor Toshiba Bluetooth helpers could detect Bluetooth headset to properly download the correct drivers (though it was already recognized by Windows, just couldn't connect properly), nor different other programs like Bluesoleil, Blue manager and so on.
On other notebooks and computers many try to install manually the drivers, usualy Microsoft Windows mobile-based device support. I've tried to install many drivers, all of the Broadcom drivers I've found (including the Broadcom Bluetooth 3.0 USB driver that makes the headset work on MBP), and I must say that Windows recognizes (doesnt show the yellow triangle next to the icon of the driver) only for the Microsoft Windows mobile-based device support driver. Though it's like that, the sound still is not playing out of my headset. On MBP after the drivers were installed, I chose the device in Printers and devices and there was an option of Control (maybe I remember the name wrong), it went first in the right-click menu, and aftewards there was a page were I could connect my headset through ticks/checks on different options. Nothing like this appears if I install any of the drivers on iMac (nor Broadcom, nor Win mobile-based). I must also mention, that some kind of package that I've downloaded from Toshiba or Acer's Broadcom Bluetooth kit, I don't remember, installed some bluetooth drivers (Bluetooth Audio, "receiver" if I recall it correctly and 2 more), that were recognized as right drivers for peripheral device when I connected my headset, but even then - no sound came out of the headset.
HELP ME: What shoud I do? I've tried all of the methods that are on the net. Sony store won't help me out, because the problem is not in the device - it's in the software/hardware of "your iMac". The headset works with Mac OS, should work fine with fully-Windows PCs, it just doesn't with iMacs on Bootcamp Windows. The interesting thing is that updating windows to Windows 8 might also not help, since Sony guarrantees only work on pre-shipped with Win 8 devices, not with the upgraded devices. I do think the problem is with drivers, that Mac's Bootcamp utility doesn't come with pre-installed Bluetooth drivers for connecting Bluetooth headsets, only for the Apple mouse and keyboard. I must also mention that I've tried to install manually many of the Broadcom drivers, all of which were for Bluetooth 3.0 or 4.0, they didn't help.
It's awfull that I've got the latest iMac, so the latest hardware and face such problems. I only think that a cheap 5-7$ bluetooth-usb adapter could help, maybe it could recognize the headset and therefor install its own drivers for its manufacturer. But I don't imagine how would it work and connect since iMac has a peinstalled Bluetooth receiver. Is there a software sollution? An app or driver?

So, finally I found what worked for me: Re: Full Bluetooth functionality in Bootcamp (audio, A2DP, FTP, OBEX) third variant, none of first 2 worked.. The only trouble was to find the correct link since on Acer site there is no download link. I've googled for "Bluetooth_Atheros_7.4.0.96_W7x64_A.zip" since this is the archive the guy is actually talking about. The 4th link on google was http://www.laptop-software.com/Acerdriversdownload.php?GDFiles/Driver/Bluetooth/ Bluetooth_Atheros_7.4.0.96_W7x64_A.zip?acerid=634556349384706773&Step1=Notebook& Step2=Aspire&Step3=Aspire%204830Z&OS=721&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6 and I chose to downlad from the first download link. Then the steps are:
1) unzip the folder
2) don't look for x64 or x32, there is only a one installer called "Bluetooth_Suite_win7"
3) install Bluetooth_Suite_win7
4) after it installs Windows starts downloading and recognizing drivers, I don't know how it actually works, but it also downloaded and recognized the unrecognized before drivers for my Bluetooth headset.
5) Restart Windows
6) Turn on headphones - they connect automatically, everything works and works great, the quality of sound is exactly the same as it was on Mac OS, nothing that would bother me.
****, it took me 2 full days... finally...

A2DP support for 8800

I have a 8800 smartphone with software version V4.5.0.37 (platform 2.7.0.55).
I bought a bluetooth stereo headset which is A2DP enabled. I am not able to use this with my mobile.
Any support/suggestions?

One notable missing capability is support for the A2DP Bluetooth profile for stereo headphones, although the device does support mono Bluetooth headphones for use with the phone. RIM says support for A2DP will be added in a future software update. Until that happens, to get the most out of your music, you'll need wired headphones with a relatively uncommon 2.5-mm headphone jack or to use an adapter with your regular wired headphones. All in all, the media capabilities feel like a half-hearted add-on to this device.

How do I get a navigation app to work through my bluetooth?

I have a new iPhone 4S and want to use a Navigation App to help me find my way around. If the Mapquest is running and the radio is on, I can't hear the directions. The only way I could get it to work is to turn Siri on so the nav plays through the car's bluetooth but then you can make a call us use the phone for anything else. Am I missing something here?

only bluetooth headset which support the a2dp profile can play music and game sounds
the wast mayority of those are stereo and it's not a ios thing it's like that with all smartphones, pda's and tablets

Bluetooth Earpiece does not receive audible Calendar or Text alerts

Bluetooth Earpiece(Jawbone ICON with A2DP) does not give me an audible alert when I receive Texts or Calendar reminders.
My phone vibrates, but I what I want is my chosen alert tone in my ear.
When I get a phone call, I get the phone number read to me and the alert tone.
I have tried turning the A2DP off and about a hundred other things.
All help appreciated.
Thanks,
-Mark-

There is a slight delay when the phone and headset begin to communicate for A2DP audio. Usually, things like calendar and SMS alerts are too short to be heard in the headset. You'll notice that if you are actively listening to music streaming to the headset from the phone or having a conversation, you will hear the alerts.
If you don't use your headset to stream audio, and only use it for phone calls. Disable A2DP on the headset. You will hear the alerts from the phone speaker in that case. You will probably never get the alerts on the headset unless you're actively listening to something already.

Bluetooth Headset in Vista

Is there anyway to use a bluetooth headset with Vista? (Is it something to do with A2DP)
The headset I have works in Leopard (and previously in Tiger). It didn't require any driver software, and as far as I know there isn't any available for download from the manufacturer's site.
The fact that it works in Leopard should prove that the bluetooth card inside the Macbook Pro is capable of working with the headset, no?
Any help would be great, thanks.

I'm having similar problems. I have a pair of Logitech Freepulse A2DP headphones. They work fine in Leopard but not in Vista. They pair properly in Vista and say "connected" but no sound will transmit. I have tried testing and making sure the volume is up and everything but no dice.
My guess is that the Apple Bluetooth drivers don't support A2DP. Is this true?

Bluetooth Device list

new iPhone 5C....device list NEVER appears. Says Searching and Now discoverable. Manual NOT helpful.
I have a Motorola Bluetooth sitting right next to the phone. Wifi on. HELP.

bluetooth is a protocol so you do not have a motorola bluetooth
you may have a motorola bluetooth headset which support the a2dp or CTP
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile
your next step is to find out how you put the headset in question into pairing / discovery mode that should be stated in the documentation of the headset or on motorolas web site
