Bluetooth speakers not working on kindle fire HD 7...

I have a kindle fire HD 7" and bluetooth is not working for in-call audio
When the device is paired with my bluetooth speakers, the sounds of the volume changes and other gui clicks go out over the bluetooth speakers but the actual audio of the skype video call still go via the kindle's builtin speakers.
NOTES:
- I made sure to connect to bluetooth speaker before starting skype.
- Other applications are working with my bluetooth speakers (e.g. playing music, spotify radio, etc)

I have a reply from Amazon on this issue and have used the contact details they provided to contact Skype BUT with NO response!!!!   Why oh why do Skype ignore its users??????
Amazon respnse:
Thank you for contacting Amazon Appstore Support.
I'm sorry to hear that you have had issues using your Bluetooth speaker with Skype.
There is an explanation for this, however, I must warn you that it is a bit technical.
Apps on the Kindle Fire play audio through one channel which does support Bluetooth audio. Device sounds on the Kindle Fire play audio through a different channel which does not support Bluetooth.
Now the problem is that when the developers of Skype created Skype for Kindle Fire they routed the sound through the device sound channel opposed to the Apps channel.
This means that that Skype does not support Bluetooth speakers.
As the app was not developed by Amazon, you may want to contact the developer of the app, Skype Software, for product support and troubleshooting.
I've provided the contact information below:

  • Sound not working after Kindle Fire HD update.

    Skype 2.x on the Kindle Fire HD was great.  A little buggy, but it worked very well overall.
    I just received an involunatry update of Skype, to version 3.x, and now the app has a host of problems, the worst of which is that the sound during calls is too soft to be useable.
    This applies to both the sound on both ends of the call.  I can barely hear the people I am calling, and they can barely hear me.
    The application is now unuseable.

    For aibcje
    1. To delete the app, hold your finger down on the skype icon until it comes up with various options, then click on "remove from device"
    2. Click on "Apps" at the top of the main front screen.
    3. Now at the top of the screen you will see a button marked "Cloud" and "Device", press the "Cloud" icon and you should get to a page load of icons, with ticks in the corner.
    4. Scroll through until you see the skype icon and click on it.
    5. Now register with your old user name and password and you should be back up and running with the preinstalled version of skype.

  • Reverting back to SystemIdleMode.NORMAL not working on Kindle Fire

    I'm writing an app that disables the screen dim and keygaurd lock while the app is in use, but when a user navigates away from the app (i.e. goes to the home screen) then the screen dim and keygaurd is re-enabled.  I'm testing this on physical devices and it works on all other android devices that I have tested except for Kindle Fire.  So, when I go to the home screen and navigate away from my app the keygaurd and screen dim is still disabled so the kindle just stays on unless I manually locked it.  I know Kindle Fire is a modified version of the Android operating system, so it kind of makes sense that some things might work differently on a kindle.  I was wondering if anyone else has solved this issue or has any ideas about how to make it work?  Here is the code I'm using and I have DISABLE_KEYGUARD and WAKE_LOCK permissions selected:
    stage.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, onLeave);
    stage.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, onComeBack);
    private function onLeave(e:Event):void
         NativeApplication.nativeApplication.systemIdleMode = SystemIdleMode.NORMAL;
         movieHandler.movieScreen.pauseCurrentMovie();
                        private function onComeBack(e:Event):void
        NativeApplication.nativeApplication.systemIdleMode = SystemIdleMode.KEEP_AWAKE;
    I know that the onLeave function gets executed because the movie that is playing gets paused when I go to the home screen.  If I comment out that line then then the sound would just keep playing.  Thank in advance for any help.

    It is recommended that you try the following: In order to solve this problem.
    Setting Permissions:
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>
    And
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DISABLE_KEYGUARD"/>
    It is also mandatory.

  • Internal speakers not working after upgrading to Maverics

    internal speakers not working after upgrading to Maverics

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
    3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. If you've installed a software equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and restart.
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
    7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
    9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
    10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    11. Reset the NVRAM.
    12. Reset the SMC.
    13. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    14. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • Bluetooth is not working in Iphone 4s

    I am using Iphone 4s. Bluetooth is not working. it is not identifiying or identified by other phones / Laptop

    That is correct.  This has never been a feature of iphone/ipod/ipad.
    Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, telephone handsfree devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps form the app store and internet tethering where provided by the carrier.
    Other than this it will not connect to any other phones/computers/devices

  • My iPhone 4s bluetooth is not working

    Dear Apple Customer ,
    I m using iPhone 4s but my phone bluetooth is not working . If i bluetooth on after searching device long time.
    Pls help me how to solve this problem .
    Regards,
    Viswa

    What are you trying to connect to? iOS has BT profiles for connecting to keyboards, headsets, speakers, car systems. Through the Personal Hotspot settings on the iPhone, you can also connect to other devices to share an internet connection. Sharing files over BT is not a function that iOS devices support.
    Please give more details about what your trying to do and what's happening when you try.
    Best of luck.

  • Bluetooth is not working in my iphone 4

    bluetooth is not working
    in my iphone4

    The solution that worked for me was to Backup and then Restore.
    For the backup: you can do it via iTunes (plug the iPhone and right click over its icon on the Devices section and then choose Back Up) or download your photos, contacts and other important documents to your Mac using iPhoto (just download your photos) or apps like My Contacts Back Up (it will email you the full list so you can upload it to the iPhone later). Make sure you backup properly please!
    After you have done the back up choose Restore in iTunes and that will erase all the files and apps from the iPhone so it will be back to the settings it had on the day you used it for the first time (you'll be able to recover all the apps you paid for since they'll be linked to the Apple ID you used to purchase them).
    The iPhone will still have the latest version of iOS (6.1.3) so if the problem is -like in most cases- software related it would be fixed and you'll able to pair the device again. If not maybe you will have to downgrade the  iOS to the previous version.
    Hope this helps!

  • I updated my iphone 4S to 7.1.1 and now WIFI and Bluetooth do not work.

    I updated my iphone 4S to 7.1.1. Immediately after doing this, my wifi is greyed out, (cannot even turn it on), and my bluetooth is not working at all. I have discussed with Apple several times and even went to an apple service center. They claim that I have a HW issue and that I must pay $200 for another phone. HAving been a cell phone HW designer for 15 years, I know this is not true. If this is a HW issue, it was caused by the FW update. There is a problem with my phone that is a direct result of the FW update. If I could go back to the previous version, I could prove it but there is no way for me to do that. So, it looks like iphone has released an update that "breaks" some phones. What an easy way to force people to pay them $200 for a new phone. Hmmm, if other electronic manufacturers catch on to this, we are screwed. Apple has seen the issues on the internet and has seen the issues reported on thier own Communities. They know that many people are reporting the same problem. If I can look it up, anyone can. They know that they have screwed up. So instead of biting the bullet and fixing what they broke, (peoples phones), they are taking advantage of the opportunity to make more money by telling people that they have a HW problem that they are not responsible for and that it is going to cost $200 to fix what Apple has screwed up. Just let me go back to the previous version of the IOS and my phone will work again. Is anyone else having this same issue? Has Apple lost it? I have been more than pleased with my phone. I have been thrilled with customer support. What is going on with apple? Samsung is looking better every minute.

    Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
    It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality.

  • Bluetooth is not working with Windows 8.1 on U410 touch

    Hello,
    I have a Lenovo U410 touch, and i just upgraded to windows 8.1 though the store.
    And the bluetooth is not working at all, it says that the PC is searching for Bluetooth devices. While everything was working great before.
    I have updated all the drivers from the Lenovo websites and still nothing is working
    I went to device manager and checked under bluetooth: Intel (R) Centrino Wireless Bluettoth 4.0 + High Speed. Microsoft Bluettoth Enumator, Microsoft Bluetooth LE enumarator all 3 are up to date.
    Then I went to network connections (from the start) and i have a red cross under Bluettoth network connection 2 and says not connected.
    My windows is also up to date
    I really think gooing back to Windows 8 since i cannot listen to my music on my beatbox and connect to my phone and tablet,
    Thank you for your help

    hi erabbath,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    If you have the Intel Centrino N2230 Wireless + Bluetooth adapter, can you try to:
    1. Navigate to the Control Panel (large icon view) > Devices and Printers and try to pair a bluetooth device (i.e. Bluetooth Headset) and observe if it gets detected under the device list.
    2. If the Bluetooth Headset is listed but it's not working try toright click on it > choose Properties. On the bluetooth properties Window, go to the Services Tab and check all the appropriate bluetooth services.

    Let me know your findings.

  • When I unplug Apple headphones from my MacBook Pro sond from internal speakers not work, and system soud preferences displayed: Output: optical digital out port only

    When I unplug Apple headphones from my MacBook Pro sond from internal speakers not work, and system soud preferences displayed: Output: optical digital out port only

    If you see a red light in the audio output port, then the internal switch is stuck.  Insert the earphone plug a few times and see if you can trip the switch.  If that fails, insert a cocktail stirrer and the like and jiggle it around inside.  If that fails, take it to an Apple store and have the technicians at the genius bar do it for you.
    Ciao.

  • Volume for bluetooth devices not working

    I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones and since updating to Yosemite 10.10.3, I have not been able to control the volume of them with the volume keys on the keyboard or the volume in the menu bar 99% of the time.  I have once gotten it to work and have no idea what I did for it to work.  If I take the volume all the way to 0, it does mute the audio and the mute key still works as well.
    Changing the volume manually in individual apps (such as with the slider in Spotify or in a youtube video) works but thats only when I use the mouse to move the volume slider.
    I've done some searching around and it seems like Yosemite has numerous Bluetooth issues... I even had the horrendous screeching noise in 10.10.2 but that seems to be fixed now.
    Mid 2009 Macbook Pro 5,3

    I cheated and installed Windows 7 RC. ^.^
    But something you can do is:
    Click on the Start menu
    In the search bar look up 'Services'
    Open up Services
    Double click 'Bluetooth Services'
    In the 'Log On' tab check to see if 'Local Service' or 'Use This Account' is highlighted
    If 'Local Service' is selected then you're SOL and you're best bet is to re-install Windows. That's what was selected on mine and no matter what Account I set it to Bluetooth would not work. I even tried re-installing the Apple drivers from the OS X disc.
    But if 'Use This Account' is selected than I would look into the normal Bluetooth settings, as the problem is most likely there. You can also call MS and have them screen share with you, the guy I talked to said if 'Use This Account' was selected he could do more for me.
    Anyways hope this helped a bit.
