[Q] Bluetooth and audio problems - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've looked through the forum and haven't found a problem like this other than on the Hydra rom thread with no answer, so...
I'm having a problem with the bluetooth and audio playback. Whenever I played music on my phone after installing an AOKP rom (Hydra rom), the playback is fine so long as I play with a regular earphones. After I connect it to my bluetooth headphone, it pairs and connects just fine, and then I open the music app (doesn't matter which - stock, mx player, doubletwist) it gives me an error message saying that it doesn't have the ability to play back that file. It goes through the entire music album and stops. I am able to play music files through ES file manager and waze still works and I do hear ringtones when someone calls.
I haven't had this problem on CM9.
Has this happened to anyone else and do they know how to fix it?

Sound stuttering via A2DP/Bluetooth

Hi, I am using the tornado a2dp fix and got A2DP working with a Sony bluetooth headphone set and the sound is great but it stutters. I tried WMA and even the HTC music player and its still the same (although a little better with WMA).
Is anyone else having these issues?
I may try updating the firmware (if avalible) or removing the A2DP thing and trying this instead:

has anyone tried this? does it work?
Does anyone having skipping music via A2DP? ANy fixes?
Thanks. all help appreciated!
I get the occasionall drop-out of music over a2dp. Every 30 seconds or so?
Not sure how to fix it - Works perfectly from my laptop. I don't think it's a signal strenght issue either as if I hold my jasjam next to my head it still does it.

Hi Just tried that prog and so far is NOT working......
Edit: It DOES work.
Bit fiddly to work it out but hey presto............. and stereo.
Listening to 'Pulse' ATM and not dropping out. Whahayyy!
i tried ripping a CD to WMA using media player at 128kbps and it works fine via A2DP with no skipping, so i think it just struggles with high bitrate songs and VBR MP3.
Update:
I tried an MP3 at 128kpbs and it skips, but when using a 128kbps WMA file it works perfect. So if you plan on using bluetooth headphones, get wmp 11 to convert everything to 128kbps WMA and you'll have not one problem.
Ok i have been playing with this and found a solution.
Use TCMCP. This plays AAC,WMA,MP3 and also video but if you embed the album art into the music file it will display this too. You can play the music at any bitrate and it doesn't skip with a2dp and bluetooth headphones.
And when you run this you have about 20MB avalible ram free.
To sort out your music and embed album art try music monkey.
Have fun!
I have the Pulsar 590A headset. Regarding stuttering audio; One thing to keep in mind; if you have paired it with your mobile phone, and later start a different pairing operation with bluetooth on your laptop, then the old connection with your phone may still connect automatically as a "mono headset" without you being aware of it. If you then connect the headset (manually) on your laptop to listen to stereo music (A2DP) the connection appears to succeed but you might get stuttering audio because you are also connected to your phone ! These seem to be two independent services that fight for bandwidth. I found that out when I happened to press the Dial button on the headset an to my surprise my phone (located in the hallway) called up my girlfriend ! And old pairing job I had done half a year ago and forgot about...Once I removed the phone pairing altogether (=phone link disconnected) the laptop music A2DP playback worked fine again. Can be a good thing to check in case you get stuttering audio.

[Q] Music lags on notification

Hello everyone,
I just get my SGS2, nice phone really and recently just flash to Litening ROM 6.1.
Now my problem is if I play music using headphones or speaker attached to the audio jack, when a notification sound ring (new SMS, mail, sending / receiving Yahoo Messenger text) the audio will pause for a moment and resume but not quite smooth.
Sometimes there will be delay which can be felt, or sound distortion when the music resumes (like a small 'bzzzt' sound). And this is only happening if I use external speaker plugged into the audio jack. Playing music using the internal speaker works just fine, surprisingly without any pause when notification rang.
This happened with various player I've tried, stock music player, PowerAmp, WinAmp, ProPlayer
Been searching google and xda forum for the past hour and all I can find is other people having this issue on their Galaxy S not Galaxy S II.
I'm really confused of what may cause this problem, I even tried reflashing the ROM, wiping data and dalvik cache and my music still stutters on notification. If there's anybody having this issue or anyone have a suggestion on what must I do to make this annoying problem gone.
Thanks for your reply

[Q] CM7 Bluetooth Audio Streaming to car stereo problem

I'm currently on Neutrino's v2.5p2 ROM and my phone doesn't allow any application other than the built in music player to stream any audio to my car stereo through bluetooth. I used to hear Tune In radio on a daily basis without any problems with the stock GB roms but ever since I unlocked my phone and started playing with different roms (Ba2tF, Nightly's, Neutrino, Dorian's Red Pill) I've been unable to listen to any streaming audio app through my bluetooth connection. No power AMP, no youtube, not even video audio from the built in media player. I can sometimes hear about 2 seconds from Tune In if I start the app while hearing audio from the music player: the music player audio would stop while the audio from tune-in starts to sound through the car speakers but after about a second and a half the audio gets cut out (but the app screen shows that the audio is still playing). Anyone else has had this issue?
Anyone? anyone?
Canr say i have had this issue cuz i dont use blue tooth for anything but have you checked in the dsp manager and blue tooth settings to see if there is something preventing it? not sure if thats any help buy best of luck.
got the problem solved. I installed Turl's CM9 V9 ROM.

OaT's LnT - my bugs

Well, in light of everything, I still will post the bugs I'm experiencing on 8/29
I have the 32GB version. I wiped/factory reset.
- Bluetooth pairing to Jawbone Jambox is hit or miss, when it does pair, trying to enter into the BT settings causes an FC everytime. This has been happening with all the builds of LnT I've ever tested (#1 reason why I didn't use it as my daily rom) As a comparison, CM9 08/19 nightly doesn't have this problem
- Dolby mobile audio doesn't seem to do anything meaningful. I don't have any .mp3s stored on my TP, I've been using EX file explorer to connect to a local NAS, and then playing the .mp3 with whatever default audio player is built into EXFE. While it's playing, I first tried to switch between speaker/headset toggle, and through the speakers, it doesn't make any difference to the audio currently being played. I don't know if this is user error or what, maybe it only works with local mp3s using android music player?
- Turning off Dolby mobile audio will not allow me to turn it back on until I reboot
- I tried the Beats Audio build, again, turning on for example Bass boost did nothing for my ears. Does the equalizer only work for local mp3? I was trying with streaming audio from tune-in radio
- Intermittent: touchscreen stops responding. The workaround is quickly turn off/on TP. Then it works again
Sorry, I'm a n00b and a bunch of these could be user errors, not understanding the feature.
OK so the audio loss bug is still in 8/29 for me. The work around is having headphones plugged in on boot, let it sleep, wake up and unplug headphones
Also, crackling audio also occurs for me, sleep and wake fixes problem but then touch screen is intermittently unresponsive. These bugs do it happen for me in cm9 nightly

[Q] Help: Bluetooth media stopped streaming, coming through phone speaker

Just recently, my S4 decided to stop streaming music/media through my sony BT deck even though its connected via media audio
In fact, I can pause and skip songs using the deck, but it still plays through the phone speaker! when i enable/disable media, it pauses like its going to connect but it doesnt.
Ive tried: reboots, repairings, uninstalled google play music updates (seemed to happen when i updated the new music app)
Im about to go plug in earbuds and see if it debugs it.
update: plugged in headphones and music still coming through phone speaker! anyone familiar with this kind of bug. im pretty stumped
