[Q] Control which application send audio to Bluetooth - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to control which application send audio to Bluetooth and which sent to system speaker?
I have a Bluetooth car kit that is paired with my Samsung Galaxy SII phone (ICS 4.0.3) and any audio that is played on the phone (messages, phone calls, media, etc) it’s sent to the car kit.
This is very annoying, because if I listen to the car radio and the phone receive a message, the sound is sent to the car kit, resulting in a interruption of around 10 seconds, only for transmitting the ring of the message.
I want to have only the phone calls and the media player audio passed to the car kit through the Bluetooth and to block any other audio notifications (and to let them play through the phone speaker).
Is there is any way to control what is sent to Bluetooth, or what application can send audio to the Bluetooth?
Regards,
Stefan

Bluetooth music player

Is there an app that will let you play music from your phone on your car using a bluetooth connection? Like is there a way to play all phone audio on your car via bluetooth rather than just call audio?

No app can change this, the thing is your car stereo has to support the A2DP bluetooth profile, if you do not have a "bluetooth audio" option and only "telephone" on your car stereo then it only supports the "headset" profile, for example I have a pioneer bt-8000 car stereo, it supports both a2dp and headset profiles, I set my car stereo to "bt audio" then all audio OTHER than phone audio comes through car stereo, then if a call is initiated inbound or outbound, the car stereo automatically switches to phone, then when disconnected back to bt audio

I did however forget one way that this could be possible without the A2DP profile, not sure if this exists for our phone, but a hack could be made on the phone that would force all audio through the headset profile on the phone itself, but like I said, I haven't seen this hack for our phones

There's an app in the Market called Super Bt Mono Froyo that does exactly that - routes all audio from phone to Bluetooth device using headset profile. The quality pretty much sucks for music though - kinda like if you'd listen to music over GSM phone connection. I personally use it for navigation prompts when riding my motorcycle. If you want decent quality - you need A2DP.

Question for bluetooth handsfree users

I have paired my sgs2 with my bluetooth car kit. Phone calls etc work perfect, using my car's speakers and microphone. However, when i try to use the satnav on my phone, or start the Voice Commands app and it says "what would you like to do?", the audio comes out of my phone's loudspeaker rather than my car's speakers!
Is anybody else having this problem? Or is it working fine for other users?
I am using a Parrot 3200LS. Here is a screenshot of it's bluetooth settings on my phone:

On google people mentioned that there should be 2 checkboxes, Phone and Media, but i only have Phone. Is this what is causing the problem? Is there any way i can fix this?
Thanks

EDIT: I found the answer to my own question. Apparently my Parrot 320LLS does not support A2DP, which is required to play the navigation, music, etc sounds through the car speakers via bluetooth!

[Q] bluetooth car kit disable ring stream

Hi.. i just got my sgs2 after using blackberry 9100 and the infamous nokia n97.
I am using Parrot mki-9200 car kit which supports a2dp.
in the two other phones i could stream music but the ring for msgs and other notifications were not transmitted (ideal).
However now with the sgs2 every notification is being transmitted to the car kit and the radio stops playing for a few seconds. it's really annoying..
anyone knows a workaround/solution?
Thanks a lot.

[Q]Disable notifications through bluetooth?

I use my phone to stream music to my car's stereo, and when I get a notification of any sort, it plays from my phone and then echoes through my car's speakers. This is rather annoying and I can't find a workaround. If I put my phone on vibrate when I enter the car, then I get no noise from either, and I'd never know if I missed a message or something. Just wondering if anyone has a method to force notification sounds through one audio output or another, not both.

JVC KDX50BT is my stereo, if that makes any difference

I would also like to know this. I have a bluetooth speaker at work and a bluetooth car stereo. When listening to music, it is annoying to hear the music cut out and play a notification for an e-mail or SMS message.
Have You guys tried to set notifications volume to none? There are surely plenty of programs that change the phone profile after for e.g. connecting to bluetooth device.

[Q] Car BT muting announcements

Car: 2012 Toyota RAV4 w/o Nav. head unit
Running AOKP 4.1.2 11.20.2012
Pairing and auto connecting without issue. A2DP audio works fine and meta data transfers if using Google Player.
The problem is that the phone is muted whenever the BT is connected. Notifications for new text messages or alarms can not be heard either from the car's system or the phone unless listening to an A2DP stream and are going totally unnoticed. Turn by turn navigation on the phone is equally useless because of zero audio.
Is there anyway to make the nav directions and other notifications appear to the car as an incoming call and be heard thru the car's system?
I'm not sure if this is a car or phone issue, or both. Maybe the ROM? It works fine in my Dodge Ram, but it does not have A2DP. I would gladly give up A2DP music streaming if the car's system would mute it's music source and push the notifications thru.
I have to get this resolved somehow even if it means a new head unit or phone.
Make sense? Ideas?
