[Q] Streaming audio via Bluetooth on Windows 7 - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi... This is probably mentioned elsewhere but I've done some searching and can't find an answer to my specific problem.
I have a brand new Dell Inspiron laptop. Very nice it is too. The OS is Windows 7. I also have an HTC HD2 carrying WM 6.5
I was messing about with the Bluetooth and it seems that everything works EXCEPT that when I try to stream the audio FROM my HD2 TO my laptop, the audio plays out of the phone and not the laptop speakers (which are LOUD).
Can anyone advise what to do. I can use the laptops speaker and mic for phone calls so I know it streams ok but this bit has got me stumped.
Thanks.

Head Phones Not Recongized When Plugged In But Phone Charges/Syncs Fine

The Introduction: So I've been researching this for awhile now and I haven't been able to come up with any answers except try a hard reset. I just flashed over to Silence's new Pro. 6.5 CE ROM and set everything up when this reared it's frustrating head so I'd like to avoid that.
The Phone: HTC Touch Pro(Sprint), Silence's WinMo 6.5 Professional CE.
The Problem: My phone doesn't seem to recognize that I've plugged in head phones. Nothing doing in Windows Media Player or Pocket Player. I tried calling to the phone but it just rings through the speaker. Tried plugging the head phones in before starting the music player and while music was playing with same results. I can charge my phone and connect to my PC with ActiveSync so it's not the whole connector. I tried a new set of head phones at the Sprint store and they didnt work either. I can't find my 3.5mm adapter or I'd try some regular head phones though I doubt they'd work.
The Dénouement: Anyone know of a fix to this or a way to check the registry entries that control audio or whatever? Not that I know how the registry should be set up, I was just really hoping for a glaring error or for some entries to be completely missing. Barring that, any great deals on Bluetooth headphones out there?
The Thanks: All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[Q] Possible to listen on Android audio played on PC?

My desire is to be able to listen, on my Android, anything that is output on my PC soundcard (running Linux).
I've been reading about pulseaudio and I'm able to stream specific things, like mp3 files. But I wanted to let Android get everything that is output to pulseaudio. Like YouTube videos, desktop sound effects, music.
The reason? I hate to switch my headphone.
Does anyone has any idea on this?
I've read that it is possible to enable pulseaudio to stream PC's general audio. What can I use to connect my Android to that?
What can I use to connect my Android to that?

Well if you are going to use pulse audio on the pc, im pretty sure you would need a pulseaudio app for the phone.
I'm not sure why you want to listen to the audio on your phone. The tiny speaker in the phone is horrible quality compared to the speakers on your laptop.
I want to listen to my PC on my Android with headphones. Not Android's tiny speaker
This would be nice if would be possible; for example it can be used as (sort of) wireless headphones for PC; I will definitely love this option for watching movies; play them on TV via PC, and listen audio via phone, and I don't have to worry about headphone cable (just stuck phone in pocket, and connect headphones in phone).
If someone knows how to make this work, please feel free to reply
P.S. it will be great if it will work over WIFI
I'll bump this in hopes someone has found a solution by now, for Linux and Windows.
Asset UPNP will let you stream a PC's audio output to any dlna client. Its Windows and Mac only at the moment though. I'm looking for something that'll do the same for android. Theres tonnes of DLNA apps out there, but they only stream files, not the complete audio output (ie alerts, streamed audio, phone calls etc).
I'd like this too, ideally i could plug my phone into my amplifier and play music from my pc , save moving everything around.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
im also in need of this.. connect pc and android phone via wifi n stream all audio output (line-out) to android in realtime with no detectable lag.
SoundWire does this. However, there is a noticable slight lag. I'm hoping there's a better solution out there (even if it's over usb).
Edit: Not sure this works on Linux. I use Windows 7
If you want a lagg-free solution, just plug your Headphone-out(pc) to your Mic-in (phone), resistor needed.
Nobody got this idea before ?
You could also just stream your audio from PC with VLC via Wifi...

Plugging into my Mic-in on my phone is not an option, because my headphones are already plugged into the 3.5mm jack. So it has to be over usb or wirelessly.
People want to stream all the audio from their PC to their phone, not just audio from a video. Does VLC do that?
Has anyone found a solution to this?
I found this info doing a quick search on ixquick-dot-com. It sounds like it's a definitive solution.
Quoted from: [superuser-dot-com] /questions/331126/how-can-you-stream-music-from-ubuntu-to-airplay-speakers-on-your-network-with-ub
---------
You can install airbubble on your android, which works as a speaker using apple's AirPlay (DAAP) protocol.
[play.google.com] /store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.airbubble
Pulseaudio can be configured to stream to any AirPlay receiver - check this answer for details on setting that up: [superuser.com] /questions/331126/how-can-you-stream-music-from-ubuntu-to-airplay-speakers-on-your-network-with-ub
With airbubble running, it should show up as a speaker option in the ubuntu sound menu.
---------
I haven't tested it yet, as I haven't reconfigured the comp to use PulseAudio. It may work over 3g AND wifi, just like SoundWire, but instead using a Linux distro rather than Windoze. I plan to test and report soon.
My apologies for the modified urls, the forums won't let me post links yet.
soundwire
i think soundwire can help us in this case
search for it on google play
i have just joined so its not going to allow me to post a link

Hi, my frnd!
U can use "soundwire" android application for this, and believe me it is truly does the job what u said.
I m using this since long and it perfectly streams all audio which your pc generates via wifi to ur android, and u can also use it as a replacement of ur speakers.:good::cyclops:

TomTom Navigator 7.918(9193) Volume Control?

I have TomTom Navigator 7.913(9189) on my Leo. It is a custom ROM using the latest shipping base & packages (3.14) and WM 6.5.3 (5.2.23152). I have a Bluetooth carkit (XCarLink) and the pairing is set up OK as far as I can see. The XCarLink has Hands-free and Stereo Audio. Playing music is fine, however the audio from TomTom is at maximum and whatever I change the volume to in TomTom it stays the same. It is so bad that there is clipping. I have changed the 'Link volume to car speed' to enabled and disabled and there is no difference.
I had the same version (same .CAB) on my Blackstone and the audio worked perfectly on this.
Any ideas?
Andy
Hi,
had a similar problem with the Mobile Navigator
I think it has something to do with HTC's own Bluetooth stack.
Strangely, it was not at all tested Costumrom's
One solution I have not found yet.
Hi!
This is just to let you know taht you are not alone. I got the very same problem on my HD2, Jabra connector and Navigator.
The problem apears just using blutooth, using the earphone jack it works flaweless.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Gabriel
After a lot of searching I now understand that the BT stack on the HD2 is the Widcomm/Broadcom BT stack and this is the issue. On the Blackstone its the MS BT stack. Apparently the Broadcom stack doesn't support volume control - this is supposedly a function of the bluetooth audio device and the volume must be controlled by it. Its not part of the BT standard if I am to believe other posts? This is obviously different from how the MS stack worked as this worked perfectly on my Blackstone.
I did some research into maybe getting the MS stack transplanted back into the HD2 ROM but I never got very far with it - I assume its possible as the Windows Phone 7 ROMs for the HD2 have the MS BT Stack don't they? Plus all the HD2 Android ROMs using other drivers for the BT?

[Q] Bluetooth issue windows 8.1 i9100 CM11 4.4.2

Hello,
I have installed Bluetooth_QualcommAtheros_Win81_64_VER801318 on my windows 8.1 pc.
Everything is working (contact sync, streaming music from i9100 to pc....).
This program is also able to make call from pc using pc's mic and speakers but it doesn't work.
The call starts fine, I hear a "tac" from my pc's speakers and than silence.
So I tried with an Xperia U running cm-11-20140311-UNOFFICIAL-kumquat and it works!
Someone has any ideas?
Thank you

I am having a similiar problem and have tried various fixes but, none have worked on my Sony Vaio (which I just upgraded to windows 8.1).
I have a Microsoft Bluetooth arc mouse that works but, my Galaxy S-5 connects only for a few seconds and then disconnects. Since the mouse works, I am thinking the problem may be the Samsung Bluetooth driver? Is there any way to update it?

Bluetooth Stack Protocols

Hi Everyone, I'm new here - just made an account because I cannot figure this problem out. I just started playing around with Xposed and I LOVE it by the way! but unfortunately that's not why I'm here. I have a Headrush bluetooth headset, it's great, has a built in mic, a2dp & works for calls even on a old ipod touch 4th gen for some reason though, my Lenovo a-5500f a8 ideatab running android 4.4.2 won't read the mic, I only have the media option, no call option.
I don't know what to do. there's like nothing at all on this, I read ONE forum that someone was experiencing my problem, and the only answer was that it's most likely because it's a WiFi tablet & wasn't meant to make phone calls on. I love my tablet & my headphones & would really be blown away if I could find a solution to this. I'm good with Linux & Windows, just learning Android stuff & it's really similar to Linux so it's not too far off, but I'm so clueless on this..
So an overview: my tablet won't detect the mic/phone call protocol for this headset, the headset works 100% on all other devices except for my new tablet.. I also have a few USB OTG's, is it possible I could perhaps run another bluetooth through a OTG? SixAxis works great, I can connect a controller, but not this mic..
any brainstorming to this helps, thank you.
