No sound with bluetooth speakers / aptX issue

Hello,
i can't get any sound from my bluetooth speakers. the bluetooth of my Z3c works perfectly with my Plantronics BackBeat FIT, but does not work with my JBL OnBeat aWake speakers.
i did already disable the throw function, but that didn't help.
when i connect my phone to the OnBeat, a popup on the phone say's it is connected to a aptX device. i am not sure if the OnBeat has aptX.
NB the OnBeat works perfectly with other bluetooth devices including my old Galaxy Nexus.
can anyone please help me with this issue?
Cheers

Have you checked the Smart connect app to see if it's a paired device and when playing music do you enable throw as you said you disabled it

Sound with bluetooth

why do i get skipping audio sound with bluetooth

Hi jaybeefromvirginia,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that when your external Bluetooth speaker is connected to your iPad mini the sound quality is what you would expect but not when connected to your MacBook Pro. There may be a few different possible causes for an issue like this. Please review the attached articles for more information.

Unbalanced sound with 2 speakers - almost all coming out the left spea

My Audigy SE card with 2 speakers (one Altec Lansing with the amp in and the other a decent 6 ohm Infiniti) puts nearly all the sound out of the left speaker (the Infiniti). I couldn't find a balance control in the Creative mixer and had to go back to control panel sound to crank the balance wildly to the right. I realise the speakers aren't matched but they worked just fine until I re-installed Windows and all my Creative software last week.
I haven't tried recording yet but I hope that will be in balance.
CRIKEY! While I was typing, the right speaker suddenly cranked itself up. Bit odd. Just in case this is a Creative problem, I will post it anyway.

Did you ever fix this problem? I have the exact same thing happening to my sound.
All the sound comes from the left in stereo sound. I plugged the green stereo analog speakers into the other pin the blackone for 4. setting on my SBLi've24 allthe others play fron t left back left and back right but the front right is so soft like a whisper.
So the speakers work. Im running a Xp mediaedition system. It happened after an apparent sound conflict that made an electronic popping sound which got progressi'vely worse until i figured out how to reset the car d in the Bios level. I have done evrything but reformat the hard dri've All tests say the hardware is working but still no front right channel. Help please

No sound from Bluetooth speakers on HP Envy PC

I have paired my HP Envy 700-215xt PC via bluetooth to UE Mini Boom speakers. The bluetooth device list shows the speakers paired but no sound is coming out of the speakers. Volume is up and bluetooth hands free audio is checked as default. Can nott figure out how to get sound out of the speaker(s).
Also noticed my logitech wireless mouse and keyboard now suddenly not working as well (after I paired the bluetooth speaker). Keyboard and mouse not connecting as well.

Hello @jhansontx,
I have read your post on how you are not able to pair your UE Mini Boom speakers or any other Bluetooth device to your desktop computer, and I would be happy to help you!

Step 5. Choose "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
Step 6. Select "Ports (COM & LPT)"
Step 7. Select "Microsoft" at "Manufacturer" list
Step 8. Finally select "Standard Serial over Bluetooth link"
If you are still unable to pair with a Bluetooth device try the following:
Step 1. Search for "Change device" in the Windows 8 Start menu.
Step 2. Click on where it says Change device installation settings.
Step 3. Select the No, let me choose what to do option.
Step 4. Check the automatically get the device app option
Step 5. Click Save changes to save the settings you just chose
As well you can try this:
Step 1: Go to RUN (Windows Logo + R) and type “services.msc” and Enter
Step 2: Now find “Bluetooth Support Service” and double click on it
Step 3: Now click on Log On Tab and Type in "Local Service" without quotes
Step 4. Click on “This Account”
Step 5: Now remove any passwords leave the password field blank
Step 6: Underneath the upper left title should be a hyperlink "Start"
Step 7: Click "Start"
You can also check the Power Management tab and unchecked the box that said "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power."
If you are still not able to pair your devices to your computer, To ensure your HP Support Assistant software is functioning correctly, I recommend re-installing the original software and hardware drivers that first came with your computer.

Lose sound with optical speakers after using DVD Player

For some reason when I launch DVD Player my sound will stop on all other applications. Quitting DVD Player won't fix this either. In iTunes, the song won't even begin playing. I've tried checking Audio MIDI Setup, and for my ouput I'm only allowed to choose "None". When I try to select Built-in Audio it won't let me. However, before I launch DVD Player Built-in Audio will output to the speakers. My speakers are Logitech 5.1 Z5500's and I am using the optical connections. They didn't come with any sort of drivers and seem to work fine before using DVD Player, so I don't really know what's up.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Powermac G5 Dual 2.7 Mac OS X (10.4.3) Logitech Z5500 Digital Speakers

In DVD Player's preferences when Disc Setup -> Audio Output is set to "Digital Out - Built-in Audio" the AC3 stream is sent to the speakers. This is an encoded stream straight from the disc that provides the 5.1 channel surround sound. The computer cannot take the sound from other applications and mix it with the AC3 stream because it would first have to decode the stream, mix the sound and then re-encode the stream. This is very processor intensive and your system would take a big performance hit.
To get sounds from other applications while watching a DVD change Disc Setup -> Audio Output to "System Sound Output". You'll lose the 5.1 output from the movie but will hear the sounds from other applications.

Annoying popping sound with external speakers

So I usually have my macbook connected to some nice external speakers but when I'm looking at different web pages I often get a weird popping noise from the speakers. It only seems to happen when I'm on the internet too. It will also happen a few seconds after I finish watching a video online. Any ideas what's causing it? Or if it's normal?

I get the same popping/rasping sound from speakers; however, it occurs for both external and built-in speakers when playing iTunes or songs off the internet (last.fm). The problem seems worse with iTunes. This started happening soon after I upgraded from Mac OS X 10.4 to 10.5. When I restart, the problem goes away for awhile, but then comes back. My speakers are not USB.
Of course, I rarely use the built-in speakers, since they are essentially useless (what was Apple thinking?!?!?). I just tested them to see if rasping/popping came out of them, and they do.

MBA 2013 - cursor control lost with Bluetooth speakers and Acrobat Pro

It might be an hardware issue of course. But I'd start by completely uninstalling the Symantec software.

No sound with internal speakers

My HP dv1660se P/N et732ua laptop does not have internal speakers working? Head set works but not with DVDs, no sound at all. I just installed Windows 7 32 bit.

Hi Kubotaboyz,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
The Lenovo K450e does not come with an internal speakers.
All Lenovo Tower PC does not have an internal Speaker and you must connect one either through the back Audio port or at the front on some units.
You can check this K4 Model series Maintenance Manual to verify that the unit does not include speakers internally.
Hope this helps

Using ITrip with Bluetooth Speakers

Hi,
I want to listen to the music on my IPhone while I am in my car but I also want to be able to make and receive calls.
At the moment I make and receive calls through a Visorlite which is attached to my sun visor and bluetooth through my phone.
I have been looking at the Griffin ITrip but can find any info on whether or not I would be able to make and receive calls while using it.
Can anyone help???

BTW, forgot to mention there is another itrip Griffin makes but, like the Kensington, it requires an outlet to work. Here's a link for all the Griffin ipod products. You'll see at the top of the list on the right side there is a charging kit for the car that includes a mini-USB plug. The bottom mounted itrip is about halfway down the page and the "works only if plugged into an outlet" itrip is at the top of the left column. Hope this helps.

10.4.10 Audio Popping Issues: Information Check with Internal Speakers

For people with internal speakers, or those without subwoofers: Please read all the way to the bottom to find a test that will determine whether you are also having audio problems, even if you can't hear pops.
We've had a lot of discussion about audio popping due to 10.4.10, and the evidence indicates that the audio circuitry is going to sleep to conserve power, even on AC-only computers like the iMac, Mac Mini, and (at least one) Mac Pro. Some people claim to not have this problem, but I'm wondering if they just aren't noticing it.
Having external speakers with a subwoofer, set to high amplification, are key to obvious detection of the problem. Let the sound subsystem go idle for 30+ seconds (wait a minute with no audio, just to be safe), turn up your external speakers really loud, and cause the computer to make a sound. You should hear a burst before the sound plays. If you repeat the sound, you won't hear the burst. This is the sound of the audio circuitry powering on, and the speakers are amplifying it.
About 30 seconds after the sound finishes playing, if you leave the volume of your speakers turned way up, you should hear a "pop" as the circuitry is powered off. Then, playing another sound will recreate the burst.
I haven't been able to hear these sounds with internal speakers, either on the Mini or iMac. But the problem still exists, and it is detectable... if you know what you are looking for.
The burst of the audio circuitry turning on also causes a delay in the audio. The delay is a noticeable fraction of a second, an it can easily be detected if you have a repeatable source of sound. I like Terminal.app, because I use that application all day, every day. Here is how you can check to see if you are also subject to the audio problems:
1. Start Terminal.app (in the /Applications/Utilities directory).
2. Wait one minute for the audio circuitry to shut down.
3. Without typing anything else, very quickly strike and release the Backspace key.
4. If you pressed the key all the way, the program should have caused a beep. However, if the audio circuitry goes to sleep, the beep should occur after you have moved your hand off the key. This is because the circuitry takes time to power itself on before playing the sound.
5. Now, quickly strike the Backspace key again. You should notice that the sound is produced immediately as you hit the key, without the delay you just witnessed.
6. Strike the Backspace key repeatedly, to confirm that there is no audio delay. Do this about once every second or two. If you press the key too rapidly, not all of the presses will produce sounds... this behavior is not related to the issue we are testing.
7. Wait another minute for the audio circuitry to shut down, and strike the Backspace key once more. You should again observe a delay between your strike and the sound production.
If you witness delays like this, your audio circuitry is also going to sleep, and you are having the same audio problems as the rest of us. However, either because you are using internal speakers, or because your external speakers don't have the appropriate response, you aren't hearing the same bursts and pops as the rest of us.
Please try this test, and report here. I want to build a list of people who previously couldn't hear the sounds, but still have the delay. This might give us a better picture of the scope of the problem.

Re: 10.4.10 Audio Popping Issues: Information Check with Internal Speakers
Your analysis of what is happening is right on.
The problem on my Intel Mac mini with external Klipsch speakers (two mid-range/high and a subwoofer) is REAL obvious as the system emits a hum like a Spinal Tap amplifier turned up to #11 when 10.4.10 powers down the audio circuitry
Then, if I play a song in iTunes, it first pops and the hum disappears right before playing.
Quite annoying.
Here's what I sent to Apple tech support:
Guys/Gals (OS X Engineers):
Concerning the Snap, Crackle Pop Audio problem in the 10.4.10 update:
Please. Just do the right thing and fix the audio.
There is no need to power cycle the audio subsystem to save .0005 amps on your laptops.
And then to make your Mac mini/iMac/other desktop users have to put up with it when using AC power is ridiculous.
Put the audio subsystem back like it was in 10.4.9 and let the laptop battery freaks looking for mini-amp savings get a "work-a-round".
Crikey!

HP 4330s SRS Premium Sound not working with External Speakers

And this is my second topic and rant!
The SRS Premium sound driver doesn't work with USB Speakers.
It doesn't work with Bluetooth speakers either!
In other words it only works with the Laptop speakers.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
SRS Premium sound for Deeper Bass and Clear sound enhancement bla bla bla now in you HP Laptop
but ONLY with your LAPTOP SPEAKERS!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
DEEP BASS on these cell phone speakers!!! Really???
Why doesn't the SRS Premium Sound driver work with external speakers!
I believe I have used SRS Sandbox before and ALL THE SOUND was directed to that driver and it worked with everything!
WHY DOESN'T YOUR HP DRIVER WORK WITH EXTERNAL SPEAKERS!
Is everyone in HP a bloody RETARD?
FIX YOUR DRIVERS!
End of rant!

Oh BTW {Content Removed: rant} http://www.srslabs.com/landing.aspx?id=693#23
23. Will the SRS Audio Sandbox work with my USB speakers or Bluetooth speakers?
Yes, the current version, 1.6.6.0 will work. If you have a previous version that is not working with these speakers, please upgrade to this version.
Do you have anything else to share with me {Content Removed: rant}

ITunes 12.1 won't play through bluetooth speakers

Ever since the latest iTunes update (12.1.0.71 64 bit), my music from iTunes won’t play through my bluetooth speaker connected to my laptop. Every other sound the computer makes plays through the speakers while iTunes plays through the laptop’s built in speakers.The speakers are also set as the default audio device for the computer. There aren’t any options in the iTunes preferences that would allow me to choose an audio device to play music through.
**My iTunes is operating on a Windows laptop and the bluetooth speakers are JBL if this helps, but everything was working fine until this new update**

There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent. The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer. The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio - one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8. It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

IPhone 5 audio issues when paired with surround sound via Bluetooth.

iPhone 5 has developed audio issues since ios7 updates when its connected to surround sound system via Bluetooth. Audio jumps and skips in erratic and unpredictable manner on music app and worse on third party apps such as YouTube . Have restored phone from factory settings etc. Have also checked surround sound for fault with Bluetooth; iPhone 4 ios7 works fine, android works fine but newest iPod touch with ios7 appears to have developed same issue as iPhone 5 since ios7 updates. Advise people to check for this issue on their Bluetooth devices and any advice would be appreciated on this issue :)

Hey there Vxas,
It sounds like you are gettings some very unexpected behaviour from the iPhone to your bluetooth surround sound system. I would try the troubleshooting recommended in this article:
iOS: How to troubleshoot Bluetooth connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562
Check that you are in range of the Bluetooth device with which you are trying to pair your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Most Bluetooth devices have a range of approximately 30 feet.
On your iOS device, tap Settings > Bluetooth and find your device in the list. If your device says Not Connected, tap the name of your device to attempt to connect it.
Tap Settings > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off and then on again.
Make sure that your Bluetooth accessory is turned on and fully charged or connected to power.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Bluetooth and locate the Bluetooth accessory you are currently connected to or attempting to connect to. Then tap and Forget this Device. Try to pair your Bluetooth accessory again.
Note: You may need to re-enter your Bluetooth accessory PIN if your accessory requires one. Some common PINs are 0000, 1111, and 1234.
Restart your Bluetooth accessory by turning it off and then on again1.
Update your device to the latest version of software. See how to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If your Bluetooth accessory has upgradeable firmware, check to see that you have the latest version1, 2.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Is there a fix for Bluetooth failing after 1-2 hours of play on my remote audio speakers? It sounds like "gargling". It occurs with all bluetooth speakers and quitting and restarting bluetooth is the only remedy I've found. Others?

8-doing a factory reset, then repeating steps 1 through 6
Do you mean a restore to factory settings?. If so did you set up as new or restore from back up afterwards?
