Muffled Bluetooth Audio Mavricks

I'm using a Kinevo BTH240 Bluetooth headphones on my mac. I've had good success in the past but it seems recently I have been experienceing an issue with bluetooth audio being muffled after wake from sleep. In order to fix this issue I have to reboot my Mac. Then after it sleeps 1 time, it happens again. quite frustrating. Not sure if a recent Mavricks update fixes or not?
I haven't made any changes or installations of software that have audio affect (that I know of).
I messed with Midi settings and got no changes (nothing was changeable for this device)
Removed/readded the headphones completely form the Macbook Bluetooth settings
Internal Speakers sound clear when Bluetooth do not
Anything else I can check here. This is an issue I doubt will ever be solved sadly. I don't have other headphones to try as of now.

I've been having the same issue but my audio streaming still says it's connected even though it doesn't allow me to play anything through any bluetooth device.
I'm looking to find a solution to this....any OS updates or is the Audio streaming just flawed

Bad Reception, Muffled Bluetooth Voice, Crazy Proximity Sensors

I would like to start a new thread to summarize all major the problems of the iPhone 4. Apple has to either release a software update or just do a total recall for all iPhone 4 users. Consumers should NOT be responsible for the time they have wasted to troubleshoot the device, paying the restocking fee or buying a Bumper Case.
1. Antenna: In spotty area mostly running 1900 MHz band, the iPhone 4 reception degrades until 1 to 0 bar when the hand or any conducting material has blocked the bottom left of the phone with a notch on the stainless steel antenna.
2. *Muffled Bluetooth audio quality:* where the listener has no way to hear a clear voice at all beside a muffled voice with low volume when speaker is using a Bluetooth that is connected to the iPhone 4. It happens to various Bluetooth headsets on the market including the Jawbone, Jawbone Icon, Plantronics 925, Sony, Motorola, and more. The muffled sound does not occur consistently. Sometimes is clear, but most of the time bad.
3. *Proximity Sensors:* Not sure if the sensor is located on top of the ear piece. During a phone call using the ear piece, people are experiencing trouble with the screen goes on and off and the face controlling the screen unintentionally which leads to hang up, mute, and other types of accidental operations.
These are critical issues that affect normal phone calls and iPhone 4 has failed to achieve anyone of them.

Really sorry to burst into your discussion, but I can't find any way of asking a question.
Like you, it's my first smartphone and I am really frustrated with it too. Am awaiting delivery of a new phone today due to its inability to connect to the internet or for me to get email.
But today's frustration is this and it's a really urgent query that I'm hoping someone can help me with quickly before the delivery man arrives.
Having spent all day Sunday getting my contacts sorted out, I'm nervous about losing them. So installed ovi suite this morning and apparently successfully to copy my contacts etc through content copier. It said it had saved them to
C:\Users\Karen\AppData\Roaming\Nseries\ContentCopier\2009-07-23Nokia N97 (2).nbu. However when I went to look for the folder AppData, it doesn't exist and I can't find it anywhere.
Any idea where it may have gone and what I can do to get my contacts onto my pc. I've tried going through the mass storage route on the phone, but then the folders that appear do not hold the contact details anywhere.
I am desperate (in so many ways ;-)
Any help gratefully received
Technopigmy
to see the Appdata folder on your pc you need to Show Hidden files and folders.
using windows XP (not sure about vista) goto My Computer. on the menu bar, select "Tools" then "Folder options", then "View". select the option that says "show hidden files and folders"
Another way to get the contacts from your phone is using PC Suite. Select the "Contacts" function in pc suite.
once this opens, highlight the contacts you want to copy and go to "File" and "export"
here you can export your contacts as a text file or as a csv file for that you can open in Excel etc.

Firefox plugin breaks after Bluetooth audio switching

Tracked down a bug to the FF flash plugin: On XP sp2 using FF
2.0.0.12 and Flash 9.0.47.0 (rolled back from the 9.0.115.0
disaster) after starting then stopping a Bluetooth audio session
(a2dp), Flash no longer plays audio/video. All the usual sites stop
working (youtube, cnn video, imeem, etc) I can get it to start
working again only by restarting Firefox.
Background info: when using Bluetooth headphones, XP's audio
output is routed to the Bluetooth receiver (in my case, by a
Broadcomm bluetooth stack) After ending the session, the audio is
routed back (eg to the desktop speakers). Flash handles being
routed to the receiver, but not being routed back.
I know it's not FF itself, b/c other FF multimedia plugins
handle the transitions fine (eg. quicktime). I know it's specific
to the FF version, b/c on IE, the flash plugin works fine after
Bluetooth switches.
Anyone have any similar problems? Restarting FF doesn't sound
like a problem, but with many tabs open, it takes forever.
I'll try sending this in to Adobe, but after seeing their
(non)response to the buggy as fcuk 9.0.115.0 player, I doubt they
even test their FF version, let alone follow up on bug
reports.

*bump. Any ideas anyone?

My ipod touch 4th gen won't pair with bluetooth audio receiver?

My ipod touch 4th gen won't pair with my aluratech istream universal bluetooth audio receiver. It automatically paired the first time I used it, but now will not pair. I removed the bluetooth receiver from the ipod because it kept saying make sure the receiver device is on and within range. Now it doesn't even detect the bluetooth receiver. Any ideas?

Thank you! We got the bluetooth receiver to use with our car stereo and our motorcycle stereo and were very frustrated when it quit working. Thank you for helping me solve the problem!

Yoga 13 - Bluetooth audio

Hi all,
Just bought my Yoga yesterday and am thoroughly enjoying it. A problem I encountered was when trying to pair the Bluetooth to a Belkin A2DP receiver (essentially, it appears as a Bluetooth audio headset to the computer). Audio quality sent to the speaker is very poor. I verified that the Belkin unit was functioning properly by pairing two other Bluetooth devices and having no issues with audio playback. I also updated to the latest RealTek Bluetooth driver on Lenovo's website. Still with bad audio quality. Any suggestions appreciated :-)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi HummerMan3,
Thanks for posting. Sorry hear about the issues you're facing.
I too have a yoga I do agree it is a superb machine. In regards to the bluetooth Audio, Personally I have not tested the bluetooth or the Bluetooth Audio. I was just wondering when you mentioned the audio being really poor, do mean that the sound distorts or does the sound does not play loudly? How about when playing normally on the laptop? Do still get the same results.
Sorry for the list of question, but just wanted to be sure what exactly I'm dealing with.
Do let me know.
Regards

IPhone 5 Bluetooth Audio not working with stock Toyota radio

I have a 2010 Toyota 4Runner Limited which has the premimum JBL radio in it. Up until recently, I have had an iPhone 4 which worked well with both hands free phone features, along with Bluetooth Audio so I can stream my music from iTunes or Amazon Cloud Players. I dont use the feature all the time, so I am not sure when it stopped working (after upgrading to IOS6 or upgrading to an iPhone 5) but bluetooth audio no longer works. I can still use the bluetooth phone features, but if I go to the bluetooth music tab on my stereo, it states that the portable player is not connected. Siri also works fine through bluetooth, as it it can read my text messages, ask and answer questions through the car stereo, though I cannot make an outgoing call with Siri because after it shuts off siri and starts to dial, my stereo disconnects.
I know Apple updated the bluetooth, but you would think the new version would be backwards compatible, right? Is there a plan from Apple to fix this, because I am sure Toyota isnt going to update the firmware on their stereos just to fix an issue with one phone...

Actually, as an update, mine is now working (the BlueTooth Audio part, Siri still cannot place calls).
I have done this on my first (now smashed) iPhone 5 and my new iPhone 5. It takes a lot of trial and error, but you can get it to work.
First thing is with the iPhone 4, all I had to do was connect the phone in the phone connect screen and it just worked for both. Not so with the 5. With the 5, I have to register it both in the Audo Settings> Bluetooth Audio Settings menus as well as the phone settings on the radio. I didnt know there were two different connections with two different pins. (0000 and 1212). I forget which one you have to connect first, but again, I tried it so many times both installs and it eventually worked. It may be easier to change the name of either the Phone or Bluetooh Audio name from Car Multimedia, so the iPhone can easily connect to one or the other, but I left them both with the same name. I can now play music, and when the phone rings, automatically swaps over to that one.
Play with it and you will get it to work. If I have time, i will remove it and do it again and write down the steps.

How to get Bluetooth Audio gateway in Windows 7 on Mac Mini?

How do I get the bluetooth audio gateway to work??

The GUI version of Disk Utility is very limited in what sort of RAID configurations you can create. It will only allow you to have a single partition on the disk and to make a RAID using that.
Boot Camp requires creating additional partitions on the disk and hence it complaining.
There is a commandline version of Disk Utility called diskutility (duh!). It has far more options available. Details for this command can be obtained by typing man diskutility in Terminal.app.
It appears that in theory you might be able to do the following.
Start off with both disks not setup for RAID
Use Boot Camp to create the Windows partition. Repeat this on each disk.
Then in Terminal.app manually convert the boot Mac partition to a RAID using diskutil appleraid enable
Then add the matching partition on the second drive to make it a working mirror using diskutil appleraid add
Then in Terminal.app manually create a RAID for the Windows partition using both drives and use FAT32 as the format using diskutil appleraid create
Then boot and run the Windows installer and tell it to erase the Windows partition as NTFS
I cannot gurantee the above will work and you should obviously have backups if needed. Another option would be to have the Mac partition covered by RAID but not the Windows partition, this would result in three volumes one Mac RAIDed volume, and two other non RAIDed volumes even though you have two physical disks.

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

Iphone bluetooth audio streaming

I have a 2011 Subaru Outback with the factory stereo. Bluetooth audio works great for me for calls and Siri. But I have yet to discover how streaming music works. I didn't think it was supported by my stereo at first, but then yesterday, out of the blue, my music app displayed the AirTunes logo and I could see the "CAR_MEDIA" name of my stereo listed there. I tried to select it and it disappeared and I haven't seen it since. Anyone else have this problem or know how to get music to stream through bluetooth?

If the system supports A2DP audio, then it should work just fine. Depending on the system, you may not be able to control the music playback from the head unit, but it should stream. Check the manual for the stereo system.

Blackberry Q10 - Bluetooth Audio gone / Contacts not shown in HUB

Dear Blacberry Community,
I have some questions regarding my Blackberry Q10, that I use since not even a year.
1. If I buy a mobile phone from a company that wants to be the star in the business world, why do I have to solve any issues with the help from other users? That the company that produces the product is not able to fix it themselves may be part of the problems...
2. After my last recovery action the phone does not show the name for some specific contacts in the Hub, though caller ID and contacts entry is ok. Still, the Hub only shows only the number.
3. After an OS software update the phone occassionally failed to contact to my car via bluetooth to play audio files - The hands-free speakerphone always worked and works! But I used to play the MP3 files stored on my phone via bluetooth on the cars stereo system. Similar problem like this.
Sometimes it works, sometimes the option Bluetooth Audio was not available in the cars built-in stereo.
After finding no solution in the internet I decided to re-install the phone software. After recovering the phone (and loosing half of the contacts that magically got lost during the backup process, and picking up problem no.2) it worked ok - until it started again, getting worse day by day. Sometimes the music started, but on the phone, not on the car speaker.
Then came the new software update to 10.2.1.2977.
Instead of the anticipated fix this update did something unexpected. Now, the Bluetooth Audio function does not work at all, never. I already deleted the bluetooth connection with the car, and reinitiated it, but no change. Phone works, Audio doesn't.
Which basically means that I do not use the audio function anymore. Which I consider a cool statement, such as driving a Mercedes S-Class, but you can't give the three blondes on the curbside a lift, because at the last inspection the Mercedes workshop accidently removed the rear bench - and then asked you to ask other Mercedes drivers to install it back in.
Bluetooth Audio connection to bluetooth speakers works, though.
Anybody a good idea? I'm reluctant to re-install the phone again, since it damaged as much as it fixed last time. And didn't last long.
How about a software update that, for a change, fixes the problem, instead of creating it?
Thanks!

I'm having the same issues.
My NEW Q10 will work fine for phone connection in my Hyundai Elantra GT(2013). It will connect via bluetooth to similarly enable speakers(Altec theJacket - not the XL) but NO AUDIO through the connected speakers!!! This is quite frustrating. The manual says it supports about a dozen 'profiles'. The Q10 supports APT-X technology, but not many speaker manufacturers support this. The Altec XL-Jacket is twice the price of theJacket.
When will BB fix the audio streaming problem? This is a major nuiscence!

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.
