I finally bit the bullet and moved into world of CM7/MIUI, currently running CM7 nightly build 80 with Glitch v11 LL. There's three separate problems I'm running into.
First in any of the Froyo ROMS Bluetooth audio always takes priority regardless of whether or not a headset is plugged in. With CM7 the headset always gets priority.
Here's the scenario; I've got my headphones in listening to some tunes, get in my car turn on my bluetooth car adaptor. The adaptor connects automatically but audio continues to play through the headphones. The only way I can get it to play via bluetooth is to physically unplug them. That of course pauses the music, really annoying. With all the Froyo ROMS I've run the audio switches to bluetooth automatically, no need to reach into my pocket to unplug the headphones.
Second I just got a new pair of buds with an inline mic and three button controls. I never had a chance to try them on a Froyo ROM but I've heard that at least the Play/Pause button is supposed to work and I've seen some posts on here that indicate CM7 even supports the volume buttons but so far no luck with any of them.
Finally how in the world can I specify a default music player? I generally use 3(Cubed), but in CM7 the lock screen controls as well as bluetooth controls only work for the default player. So if I'm in the car and hit next track on my bluetooth adaptor the phone starts playing two tracks at once! Fun times I tell you fun times.
Other than that I have to say CM7 kicks so much ass, this phone has never been smoother nor has the GPS ever worked this well. If anyone has any suggestions for these rather nagging troubles I'd be forever grateful!
Bumping out of ever dwindling hope...
Ok I've had this problem for the last couple days. I will be in the middle of listening to music through Winamp over my bluetooth headset.
All of the sudden the bluetooth headset stops playing music and the music starts playing out of the speaker. However, it is not the same music...it is a completely different song. If i use the volume rocker it shows it adjusting bluetooth volume but does not change the random speaker music volume.
If I go into settings>Applications>Running Services and Force Stop all Music programs the music still does not stop playing out of the speaker.
If I turn the bluetooth headset off and then use the volume rocker it shows adjusting ringtone volume, but the random speaker music will be adjusted.
Also, while I was not even using bluetooth the other day this same thing happened. It seems to only happen when the screen is turned off.
I am really trying to figure out what is causing this but I cannot figure it out.
I have frozen my "music 2.3.4."; "Music 3.0.1" ; and "Phantom Music Control Widget" and the problem persists.
I don't think it is related but this did not start happening until I installed the Faux123 1.9 kernel. I may also try to revert back to 1.7 to see if the issue persists.
I am still trying to figure this out and will probably try another music program other than winamp to see if the problem still happens.
Any insight would be much appreciated.

I had something similar happening a while back. What it turned out to be was that the widget for another music program was still active somehow after deleting it. Freezing the program didn't stop things. I eventually realized what was happening, dropped another widget on my desktop again, made sure all music was stopped, then deleted it again.
Also check your settings in all music programs for bluetooth and playback. I have found that having multiple music programs installed would really cause a sh*tmess sometimes. Better to uninstall everything but stock music player, then only install the one you wish to use, then freeze the stock player after turning off all "auto" functions in it.
I've had my Touchpad for all of four days now. I know their are not a lot apps, but was happy with the basics (browser, e-mail, calender, music player, photo viewer and Skype), but was also looking forward to using TuneIn Radio and Pandora.
I've had two issues with TuneIn Radio.
First, I have an portable Bluetooth speaker (Monster ClarityHD) that I use with my Android tablet. It works well with the Touchpad, except it won't work with Tunein Radio (works with everything else including Pandora). As soon as it connects I can't hear any audio and as soon as I unconnect it the TP starts playing the audio again.
Secondly, Intune radio seem to every so often stop playing and buffer the audio. Some times for for a short time sometimes for a longer time. I tried it with Pandora today and didn't have any issues. Maybe it was just a slow connection that day, not sure. Is this normal with this app?
PS... was streaming Tunein radio just now and it did it again, this time a very short pause before it started playing again. But I've had it happen for so long I just closed the app after 20+ seconds.

The second one is definitely a common bug with Tunein, just go back or go to another station and go back to the original station and it will work. Not sure about the first (bluetooth bug) I will test my bluetooth headset with it now.
Haha.... you must of posted just as I was typing.
Well, it a shame Tunein radio has this issue. Let me know how your bluetooth headset does. It just so odd that Tuneon is the only app that doesn't produce audio over Bluetooth.
Thanks!

BTW what Bluetooth headset do you have.
I used to have the Motorola S9 but the touch buttons stopped working from the sweat so I got the S9HD's that where suppose to have better moisture resistance, but they stopped working too.

Tunein definitely doesn't work with Bluetooth. In fact sound completely stopped coming out of the speakers when I connected my bluetooth.

OMG, it used to be bad, but for some reason TuneIn just constantly buffers for me now. I have it on Android too but it seems fine there, so I'm not sure what's up with the WebOS version.

Yeah, it works great on my Android tablet. I guess WebOS is the red headed step child of the OS world.
My car is connected via bluetooth to my G2x and MT4G and tunein has not issues with it. It plays great through bluetooth.
I just can't control it using the bluetooth controls.
So it must be some other problem for you.

This is specifically a TouchPad (WebOS) issue. TuneIn Radio works perfectly on my android devices.
just regular streaming my TP works fine in tunein and pandora webos and android.
now BT i don't have so :/
i just downloaded the app myself. I am running it on my touchpad with cm7 and it keeps on buffering and then says unable to start audio. I have never tried it with the webos. Is there a fix or any work around by any means?
So I know this is an old thread. But I too have a similar problem. I have a nokia 360 wireless bluetooth speaker. My touchpad has both cm9 and webos in a dual boot configuration. Tunein radio works great on android the bluetooth pairs and I can hear the audio through the wireless speaker. On webos however tunein radio will work fine for audio through the touchpad, but once it pairs to the wireless bluetooth speaker no audio works. The tunein app hasent been updated in a long time. In fact it still has the old icon logo in webos, the blue one with the robot. has anybody found a fix. Or is anybody else experiencing this problem. I prefer to watch and listen to stuff on webos because for some reason when when watching video while running in android and paired to the bluetooth speaker there is a quarter second delay on the audio and it makes it look like a bad chinese dub soundover, where the lips are moving but the audio isn't synced correctly but when watching the same video on webos it works perfectly.

I can confirm the it seems to be a TuniIn problem. External audio works perfectly with all other audio apps in webOS and all apps including TuneIn in CM9 on my TouchPad.
BTW: It doesn't seem to be a bluetooth problem. Even with headphones or external speakers connected to the 3.5mm plug, I have the described problems with TuneIn.
I have a Verizon s4 running 4.3 (all ota updates, nothing custom), my bluetooth connectivity seems to have suddenly gone...awry. When I connect any bluetooth headset (I have tried with multiple) the phone will register it connecting to phone and media controls. I have it set to automatically start music playback when this occurs, and while this worked before, it spontaneously changed. Instead of playing through the headset, music now plays through the earpiece speaker and the volume buttons control phone audio rather than media (note, audio will still be transmitted out through a jack, but again the buttons will not control media volume). The headsets themselves are fully functional as they still control call functions and voice search, but no longer toggle audio, let alone control playback. This effect continues even after the headset disconnects until the phone is rebooted.
The only thing I can think of having caused this is that I recently downloaded the pebble companion app (I wanted to test it out to see what its like before I decided to buy the thing or not), and the issue started after that. I uninstalled the app and rebooted/removed battery, but still the same issue. Is there any way to fix this other than a full system reboot? I'd really rather avoid that if I can help it.
I appreciate any feedback on this issue, thanks in advance!
I have exactly the same problem, I thought I was crazy or did something stupid! I thought it had to do with my root modifications until I completely wiped it out with an odin restore and redid only the root and SuperSU and it still had the issue. I used to have it stream bluetooth audio to my car and for some reason it once I started playing music and I thought it was really quiet even for my phone speaker until I noticed it coming out of the earpiece as well. I've run out of ideas as far as fixing it at this point though I'm still trying things.
Anyone experience this? connected to the car bluetooth, but when i off the infotaintment and stop the car, the music continue playing using the phone speaker. H'mmm not a bit issue but very troublesome to stop what is playing every time
I read in a review that there's a setting you can change which lets you have music continue playing after removing headphones or have it automatically pause, I believe this setting will also affect bluetooth audio as well, perhaps this will help? I can't say if it is this though, I haven't got mine yet but it will be good for me to know too as I connect my phone to my car's stereo via bluetooth and will do the same with the Z2.
