H7000 Bluetooth headset - No audio from microphone in Windows 8

Recently I bought a new HP H7000 Bluetooth headset. After I successfully paired it with my laptop (HP EliteBook 8470p, running Windows 8 and the Broadcom Bluetooth driver downloaded from Broadcom's site), I can hear audio from the headphones, but the microphone part doesn't seem to be functioning, it doesn't pick up a signal no matter how loud I speak.
When trying the same headset on the same laptop running Windows 7 SP1, the microphone is working perfectly.
In Windows 8, the Headset Microphone is Enabled in the Sound settings' Recording devices, and is set as Default Device. The Internal Microphone Array device (the laptop's built-in mic) is picking up audio no problem, so that part of Windows 8 is functioning properly. So there seems to be no issue with any of the settings, I went them through several times.
It's just the H7000 headset's mic under Windows 8, that is having the problem.
Anyone met this scenario, or even have a fix?

I managed to narrow it down to the Broadcom Bluetooth chipset driver in Windows 8.
Finally I ended up disabling it, and buying a USB Bluetooth micro-dongle with an Atheros chipset. With this, the headset works fine.
It is still ridiculous, to solve such a problem with additional investment, but this is not HP's fault it turned out.
I'll try to contact Broadcom's customer service, and keep an eye open for any Win8 driver updates on their support website.

CANT USE BLUETOOTH HEADSET AS AUDIO DEVICE

I just got a bluetooth headset today, paired it with my imac, went into teh sound settings, then selected it as my audio input and output device. was working fine all day then all of a sudden it stopped working and no matter what i do it will not show up in the sound setting to let me choose it as a audio device.
It does however show up in bluetooth prefences as connected/paired etc. what can i do to fix this? i am on 10.4.2 with all the latest updates and have the 20" imac.
thanks

I am experiencing this problem also. Strangely, I had my headset working properly, with no problems at all. Then, for no reason, the headset stopped working. I switched to another bluetooth headset and the new one worked properly. I also used a third headset, but it seems that the system is not properly clearing information about each headset. Now none work at all.
I have deleted all from bluetooth preferences, repaired one. The pairing appears to work properly, but the headset never shows up in the Audio section of System Preferences and cannot be used with Skype. I am at my wits end. I have repaired preferences. Shut down and restarted. Reinstalled Skype. Trashed Skype preferences. You name it I have tried it. I cannot get any of my 3 bluetooth headsets working now.
Please someone help.

[SOLVED][Bluetooth Headset] Speaker works great, microphone not :(

Hello everyone,
Thanks to this topic, I manage to have ALSA recognize my bluetooth headset correctly (originally I use it on my phone, works great).
My problem now is : the speaker part is working correctly (I can hear sounds coming from mplayer or aplay on test files) but I can't record any sound ! The only thing I can get is a noisy, continuous scratch sound when I try very basic commands like :
arecord -D btheadset -f S16_BE blah.wav
My .asoundrc file :
pcm.btheadset {
type plug
slave {
pcm {
type bluetooth
device 00:1D:82:B4:59:19
profile "auto"
hint {
show on
description "BT Headset"
ctl.btheadset {
type bluetooth
Is there any way to get that functionnal ? Am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks for your help.

Following your advice, I try this configuration :

type bluetooth
pcm.bluetooth {
type plug

and that does not the trick

Audio from Microphone Repeats - No External Speakers

This one is a little odd.
We are getting an echoing - but not from open mics /
speakers. It's like the audio is being re-routed into other audio
streams and we have no idea why. I'm working through the soundmax
drivers now.
I'm unable to get any consistent points to determine what is
happening, but it is not speakers / open mics.
Has anyone else had an echoing - more of a repeating - from
microphones?
TIA, I've found nothing from my web searches yet.
-SR

The sound / audio set up for the computers with this issue had the recording properties enabled within the audio settings - effectively re-broadcasting all of the other User's microphones within the session.

Use Bluetooth headset during audio playback

When I listen to an audio file, the audio plays on my iPhone external speakers. I want to change this to my Bluetooth headset (which I use quite often for the phone app), but I don't see any way to do this. Any ideas?

I'm assuming
I would look at the directions for my headset to find out?

Run audio from microphone to speakers?

I have an external USB microphone for my MacBook, and I want to know how I can make the audio from the microphone play immediately through the speakers instead of being recorded. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try LineIn.
Cheers.

Jumpy audio from microphone in Audacity and Jitsi

If I record from the microphone in Audacity without simultaneous playback of other tracks, the recording is fine. If I try to record while playing back a track, the recording is jumpy and clipped. The same thing happens when I try to use voice chat in Jitsi. The chat partner hears unintelligible, jumpy audio. By jumpy I mean that it sounds like the distance to the microphone is being quickly and randomly changed while the microphone is also being randomly turned on and off with high frequency.
This occurs on two separate systems, both of which are using default ALSA without Jack or PulseAudio. I have not created an asoundrc file. CPU usage is very low in some cases (e.g. 2-5% on a single core). I also have ample RAM if that matters.
I have searched for a solution but I suspect that I am not using the right terms. I cannot believe that my modern Arch systems would be unable to handle something that I could do on a budget system 10 years ago.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

*bump*
Jitsi 2 is out and I would really like to be able to use it. Surely I am not the only one to run into issue with simultaneous audio input and output.
Do I really need something like Pulseaudio or Jack? (I haven't tried yet because I just can't believe that this is impossible with Alsa... it should "just work").

Compress Audio from Microphone

Hi, I am developing an app that records voice from mic and needs to save it in the disk then send it via email. I got it no problem. I get the bytes and tranform it to wav format using the WAVWriter class.
But the wav file is HUGE. As I said, I need to send it via Email. A 10 seconds wav file is almos 1MB =/. I researched and I found a class that transforms WAV to MP3: http://code.google.com/p/flash-kikko/
Thats worked, but the resulting file is relatively big. it encodes to 128kb mp3 and I cant change the bitrate. And 128 just to a voice sound is much much more than I need. The resulting file is a bit larger than I would like.
But the BIG BIG problem is that, it takes almost 15 seconds to encode a 10 second wav to MP3 in a galaxy S or a galaxy Tab device.
It takes TOO long to encode and the resulting file is really big compared to the voice recorder that is avaliable in android devices. It records the voice, it takes 0 seconds to encode to the final file. and the file is MUCH smaller than the one I am getting.
Is there a way to compress the microphone data I have, to get a smaller file, like the voice recorder in a efficient way android devices do?
'Is there a way for my Air app to use the android's voice recorder to record the sound for my application?
Thank you very much.

Hi Daniel,
I've gone through the Kikko route and found the encoding time unacceptable as well. The best I could do was reduce my sampling rate to 22k which is acceptable for voice (but not fantastic) and compress the bytearray before I stored it and decompress when I use the recording. The bytearray compression is almost trivial but hey I guess every little bit helps if you are storing a lot of files.
Another method you could use is uploading the wav files to a server and encoding and emailing them there. Upload time is the only issue with that.
I spent months researching this problem and unfortunately there isn't a great solution out there. =(
Please update this thread if you do end up finding something.
Edit: I forgot about Native Extensions that just got released with Adobe Air 3. That should open up a lot more solutions as you could call an mp3 encoder n Objective-C which should have far superior speed. I'll probably be looking into this solution in a few weeks but let me know if you figure something out.

Capture Audio from microphone

I can't capture microphone on winxp, but ok on win 2003.

Just saw this and [http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javapedia/JMFQuickstartGuide]. This is great work, congratulations!
I have a small suggestion, I saw [JavaMail Forum|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=43] sometime back and it has a 'sticky' which points to FAQs. It was added by 'bshannon', a poster who handles a forum single handedly, just like you :) .... So, I was wondering if you also can manage to post the link to new compilation of yours in a 'sticky' thread, then it would be very nice. I don't know how 'bshannon' managed it, but I guess you can suggest this at 'News and Updates forum' (which also has stickys of its own).
I had not visited this forum for a long time, I see your stars are at 'triple Nelson' ;-) I hope you get over it as quickly as possible :) although I am not superstitious...

Has any one tried to bluetooth pics or audio from a Blackberry Curve 8330?

My blackberry found the Palm Pre when searching for bluetooth devices and so did the Palm Pre but the blackberry and palm connections failed!!!!! Help anyone please!!!!!!!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I'm new. Same bluetooth problem. Will not pair with my 2010 VW GTI w NAV system, or my MacBook Pro 17" (just discovered the MacB prob.)
When I initially discovered the problem I went to an Apple Store. Genius was excellent but requested that I check with VW. VW people were very helpful. A mechanic had an iphone 4s. He came out to the car ... He could not pair my phone but he could pair his phone ... So, it's the iphone ... Back to the Apple Store ... the genius was really good. He replaced the iphone. Great ! So, back out to the car & it would not pair, still. So ... can't be the phone , right. Back to VW. The Audi manager had an iphone 4S. He paired his phone with my car. He could not pair my phone to my car. He tries my phone in a new 2011 GTI sitting on the lot ... my phone pairs with it just fine. So ... it's my car. So ... make an appointment to get the bluetooth module replaced. They replace the Bluetooth module. My iphone will not pair. They end up pairing 2 different iphone 4S to my car ... but not my iphone 4S. My iphone 4S will also not pair with another 2010 GTI they have in for service. Though the 2 iphone 4S
pair with the second GTI just fine. They even try pairing my iphone with a brand new 2012 GTI in the showroom ... yep ... it paired fine. So ... ????????????????
They are going to update my nav software next (tomorrow), Hopeful ??? not really ... Will be taking my computer to Apple Store next ... maybe if they can discover why it will not pair to my MacBook Pro it will lead to a solution for the GTI ??? I'll get back to you.

How to stop audio from sputtering on Windows Live Movie Maker

I hope that I'm asking this in the right place. If not, if someone could direct me to the right place it would be greatly appreciated.
The video and audio in some of my videos are sputtering and spitting even though the sound is correct when I listen to them directly on the computer (not in MM.) If I split and delete all but a few seconds (:15 or so) off of the original video
it's "almost" okay in MM, but the longer the video, the bigger the problem. (More sputtering, longer pauses, video freezes but audio is fine, the whole thing is slow, etc...)
I have a combination of clips from an android (MP4) and iPhone (MOV) files that I am editing together.
I am using Windows 7 Professional and installed Movie Maker a few weeks ago. I can't tell which version I have, but assume it's the latest since I just downloaded it.
I've tried the FixIt link from some other suggestions in posts about the same problem, but it says there's nothing to fix. I don't understand what codec is.
Is there something simple I can do to smooth out the sound, or should I just use YouTube for the editing? (I plan to put this up on YouTube anyway.)
Thank you in advance for a speedy reply. (I originally asked this on August 22 in the Microsoft Community forums, but it FOREVER to get a reply from the moderator. He was giving good instructions, but I can't wait 48 hours to get a reply to a
question I have about his instructions.)

No audio from hdmi on windows 8.1

I've installed windows 8.1, I'm trying to connect my laptop to my TV. I get the visual but not the audio. My laptop is the hp envy 15 j051sa, I've tried setting the hdmi output as default or enabled but I can't even find it on the playback devices. I switched it off leaving the cable inside and turning it on - same problem. I got that IDT audio driver thing, that doesn't seem to work. Can someone help me out?

Hi tehrabyte. There are no Windows 8.1 drivers for your model on HP's driver site. This download has worked for a few people with audio issues when going to 8.1. Try uninstalling your existing audio drivers and reinstalling this driver. Please let me know if it works.
