T61 Bluetooth Audio needs to be manually selected

I am using a Motorola S805 headset with my T61. They pair successfully and I have all necessary services activated. However, in order to stream audio through the headset, I need to manually select the "bluetooth audio device" in the sounds/devices control panel. Is there anyway to get around this? Shouldn't the stream of audio be automatic?

Hello,
Welcome to the forums!
There sure is a way to automate the streaming.
1) Turn on the bluetooth radio (Fn-F5), once the radio's on, right-click the bluetooth icon in the taskbar and select "Bluetooth Configuration". (Alternate way is to turn on the bluetooth radio, open "My Bluetooth Places" on the desktop and select "Bluetooth Configuration" from the "Bluetooth" menu item).
2) Click the "Local Services" tab, select "Audio Gateway" (double-click to open the properties) and check the box "Startup Automatically".
Next time you turn on the bluetooth radio and your headset, they should pair and the headset should automatically be connected.
That should do the trick.
Hope that helps
Steve

T61 - Bluetooth audio problem

My computer: Lenovo T61.
System: Windows 7 64b.
Bluetooth device manufacturer: Broadcom.
I have severe problem with my bluetooth internal device. I wanted to connect my computer with external audio device (bluetooth speakers) and I found that my computer can connect to the device, but it's discovered as unknown bluetooth device.
I tried installing various drivers versions, but it didn't help. I also noticed that in the device manager there are 3 various entries of 'unknown external bluetooth devices', which I believe that belong to the internal bluetooth device, but somehow they weren't installed. I tried various ways of manual installing the drivers of these 3 devices (I guess one of them is responsible for bluetooth audio), but I didn't succeed.
I would be extremely grateful for help. I really don't know what to do more...

Anyone?

I have to select bluetooth audio with every incoming call (instead of the call automatically going to bluetooth, which i want) -- is there something I'm missing?

Just got new Bose bluetooth headphones, which work great -- can pair with iPhone 6+, mac, car -- the pairing is fine, sound is great, function is fine. The problem is exclusively INCOMING calls. Unless I see the call on the phone, I cannot hear it through the headset (therefore rendering the bluetooth for incoming calls useless).
Sequence is:
Incoming call
I have to manually select the bluetooth pair for the headset when the call is accepted
Anyone know of something I'm missing here?
It's not the headset -- it's working and pairing fine, sound is fine, AND i can make a call.
Thanks.

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
This sounds like a bug and I would recommend filling out a feedback form letting Apple know what your problem is. https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

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

I just bought the 2012 2.3 GHz Mac Mini
I have installed windows 7..
I also installed Broadcom 6.0.2 driver that supports Bluetooth audio gateway , but it keeps saying Bluetooth device not found, where as the Mac mini has an inbuilt 4.0 bluetooth ready!
How do I get the bluetooth audio gateway to work??
I use bluetooth headsets of Motorola to answer Skype calls..
Please help me..

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.

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.

Bluetooth / audio question

Hi Guys - i have a question which may be more related to a particular application http://www.sonomawireworks.com/forums/viewforum.php?id=2 but seeing as no-one there seems to be able t help me (and it may in fact be a Mac, rather than 'app' related issue - I thought i'd try here)... ok, so here's my problem....
ight, I downloaded RW from Line 6 a while back (version X / Mac OSX). All was going well - great app then....(and this may be just coincidence) I tried to pair my Vaio with the Mac (unsuccessfully as it happens). After having done this, when booting up (which now takes a while) I get an alert saying
"Bluetooth Audio Failed
There was an error connecting to your headset / ignore / stop using your headset"
Irrespective of the option I select, when RW does eventually fires up, there is no audio. I can see the app is playing OK (the master dials are registering) - but no output. Same problem even if I turn off Bluetooth on the MAC...
Any ideas guys? - I use the app for teaching and this is a real headache...

1. Does a Bluetooth headphone set (for music only - don't need a mic for phone calls) require a Battery(s) to operate? If so, how often do you have to replace the battery(s) say for 1 hour per day of use?
There is stereo bluetooth headsets that can be used just for audio listing but most bluetooths are made for phone handsfree use, if you want to listen to audio through bluetooth you have to verify the headset support A2DP profile for streaming audio.
2. Anyone recommend a very good headphone set that is comfortable & great sound? Do I have to buy something specific for the DX from Verizon? Moto? Or can I walk into any store and buy a Bluetooth Audio headphone and expect it to work? I *really* don't want to spend $150+ for decent headphones.
Basically all bluetooths can be used but it is a prefrence of what bluetooth works for you but I use Motorola H720 from http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Motorola+-+H720+Bluetooth+Headset+-+Black/9755234.p?id=1218167395767&skuId=9755234&st=bluetooth%20headset&cp=1&lp=5
$59.99
3. Are there any "gotchas" using Bluetooth for Audio music? e.g., sound quality issues? interference?
Your streaming audio wirelessly and the quality can reflect this, if you want the better level of audio through a bluetooth give this a look at http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocketfish%26%23153%3B+Mobile+-+Mobile+Behind-the-Head+Bluetooth+Stereo+Headphones+-+Black/9828558.p?id=1218180649134&skuId=9828558&st=bluetooth&contract_desc=null

I have a MEX-BT4000P Bluetooth Audio System. The subwoofer is always way too loud.

I have a MEX-BT4000P Bluetooth Audio System. The subwoofer is always way too loud, even when the volume is turned way down. I need to know how I can reduce the bass for the subwoofer.
Thx, Scott

Hi Scott! Are you using the rear speakers as subwoofer? If yes, you can adjust the Rear Bass Enhancer (page 34 of the manual).

How to disable the new Bluetooth Audio function?

After updating to OS 3.0 i have an annoying problem with my iPhone connected to a Kenwood car radio (via USB in the glove box):
1. Connect iPhone with car radio via USB
2. Turnin on the radio - now it starts playing songs from the iPhone
3. Now the iPhone connects via Bluetooth to the radio (for use of the handsfree set!)
4. The addressbook is downloaded by the radio via the Bluetooth connection
Till there it worked fine under OS 2.2.1 - i was able to listen to the iPod and to make/receive calls! But now there's step 5:
5. The Bluetooth Audio function is activated - and i can hear no more sound although the playback of the song is resumed!
There's a workaround for this issue: I can tap on the iPod-Icon on the iPhone which says that the iPhone is connected to an equipment. There i can tap on a bluetooth icon in the lower right corner in which i can select the device for audio output: Bluetooth or Dock.
This is really annoying (even more due to the bad qualitiy of the bluetooth audio), so where can i disable this new "feature"?!

I too am having this problem. It seems as though I also have to unplug and re-plugin my iPhone dock connector to make it switch to the USB output I need for my JVC KD-R800 receiver in my car. I can't seem to find a way to permanently disable A2DP functionality on either my iPhone or my Car's audio receiver.
We really do need some sort of option to either disable A2DP altogether or setup a "priority" list of items. Personally, I'd love to have the iPhone output in an order something like the following:
1st - Dock Connector (USB)
2nd - Bluetooth A2DP
3rd - Headphones / iPhone Speaker
Hopefully someone find out of a permanent workaround or solution soon. I just got this new receiver for my car and it messes everything up!

Stream Bluetooth Audio to Macbook Pro

Hey All,
Hopefully one or more of the mac faithful on here can help me accomplish what I'm looking to do. I need to get this up and running by next weekend so time is of the essence!
Essentially, I want to transmit audio from my home stereo receiver (I have a Bluetooth audio transmitter hooked up for this purpose but it's designed to stream to bluetooth A2DP headphones) to my macbook pro and have it play on my macbook pro.
The macbook pro model i have is this one: MacBook Pro (Late 2007, 2.4/2.2GHz) - Technical Specifications, and i don't have any additional audio or bluetooth software other than what came stock with the computer.
TIA!

I got that to work... by running Windows XP in VMWare, using an external bluetooth adapter, and installing the WIDCOMM software from Broadcom. I would very much like this functionality in OS X too, since Im regularly connecting my MBP to my stereo, and I have an Android phone with no built-in AirPlay support.
It would be perfect if I could select an A2DP source as audio input in the Sounds preferences pane..

Bluetooth audio device won't go away

Hi, I've got a problem that's driving me a little nuts. Hopefully someone can help.
I just upgraded to a MacBook Pro from a first gen Powermac G5 (1.6ghz), which is now functioning mainly for video playback hooked to my TV. I used to use a Logitech HS01 bluetooth headset as the microphone for iChat. I still do, but now it's paired with my MacBook Pro.
Here's the problem: I can't get rid of the headset on the G5, and it keeps trying to connect to it randomly, most consistently and annoyingly when I try to watch a DVD with DVD Player. This basically causes DVD Player to begin to load a movie but then hang with a spinning pinwheel while it tries to connect to the headset.
This had actually been going on for a week or two before I switched over to the MacBook, and I was thinking I might have a flakey superdrive since I would just get the spinning pinwheel until I force quit the app. I only just figured out what was going on just now since the headset is now paired with my laptop, and so when I launched DVD Player, it suddenly asked for the passkey to re-pair with the headset.
I've gone into the Bluetooth preference panel and removed the device, but it still shows up in the audio preference panel. The selected output device in the audio preferences is the optical digital out, and I selected the same in DVD Player's preferences. The behavior is consistent in two different user accounts on the machine.
Is there any way to get the computer to remove the headset from the list of audio devices?? Since the main purpose of the G5 now is for video and audio playback on my TV and stereo, it's largely useless while this keeps happening. I realize I could do a clean install of the OS, but I really want to avoid doing that.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
thanks,
Worth

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!

I have QT Pro 7.6.6 and want to delete all audio (5 tracks) from a selected in-out section of a .mov file. Then, add new audio. How do I do that?

I have QT Pro 7.6.6 and want to delete all audio (5 tracks) from a selected in-out section of a .mov file. Then, add new audio. How do I do that?

If I 1) knew TeX well enough to fix it, and 2) could get the guy to answer the phone or email so as to give me the sourcecode or to fix it himself, I wouldn't have bothered figuring out that the thing could be fixed one page at a time by a) getting a copy of acrobat pro, b) figuring out how to turn on all of the extra toolkits, c) finding the edit object button in randomly named toolkit, d) right clicking on the chapter title and selecting the e) ever so obvious "delete clip" menu selection.
At this point I would absolutely love to never have to touch an adobe product again in my life, but my hand has been dealt and if I'm going to print the manual for a software library that we've spent a cumulative $70,000 for, I have to figure this out and I really don't want to have to hit [Page Down], [Ctrl] + [A], Right click, delete clip for >700 pages.
I felt certain that once I'd figured out how to shift the pages down using ghostscript so first two lines of each page weren't getting cut off in the printer non-printable region, and finally figured out this that a relatively simple scripting solution would be immediately apparant. I mean, there are APIs for both applescript and javascript, but I'm mystified by how to get to the edit object feature from within them, much less how to tell that feature to delete clips for everything on a page.

Need help using the selection tool

Hi all,
I have some strange (to me) occurrences while using the 'quick selection tool'...
Explanation
I'm using PS Elements 11 on a Win 7 (64) PC.
What I want to do is to create a new pic from an existing pic. The existing pic's background is unsuitable for what I want. But the FG is what I need. I thought that selecting the FG object and placing into a new pic would be what I needed using the <quick selection tool>.
To do this, I am trying to use the <quick selection tool>. I've had varying degrees of success using it. One main thing I don't understand & pretty much renders my project useless & undoable, is the fact that whenever I use <refine edge> so that I can refine my edge selection, my pic is immediately lost or taken away. Since I have no idea as to what's happening, I am forced to close the pic (W/O saving changes, of course) & then re-opening the pic. All's well until I click the <refine edge> button again, then, my pic disappears AGAIN!
My guess is that maybe the pic is somehow transformed to a layer or something. But, how can I turn this behavior off and not make my pic disappear??
There are a few more details about this <selection tool> that I'm muddy on. Is there something where I can read more about its use? I would love to know more, but how? Where?
I've now read the online manual part about selection tools. Although it shed some light, I'm still needing more.
I am not a constant user of PSE, rather, I only use it on occasions. Normally, I use its scanning features. I may play around with a few other features, but I also know that PSE offers many other powerful features, I rarely, if ever, use.
