Anyone tested if the issue with 5.1 audio routing only to left speaker over HDMI is fixed in the ICS update? I was wondering if someone tested this with a home theatre receiver for true 5.1 surround.
I'll give this a go tonight (Aus time). So within the next 9 or 10 hours.
Have a Denon AVR2311. (I was experiencing the issue with FW .27, havn't tried since)
Just tried it now when I first test out my HDMI it was pretty bad I unplug it haven't plug it in till now. So far it seems pretty good but it might just be either the video I was playing before was bad or my TV speakers aren't as good as my PC speakers.
Did not work for me.. HDMI to my Anthem MRX 700
Tried 2 5.1 audio movies (avatar,Saving Private Ryan) also a 5.1 audio clip did not work also.
HDMI is now playing on all channels for me on my 2 year old LG lcd. Was only getting left channel before the ICS upgrade, so that's super good news!
Thanks guys! Giggles did you check if the player you are using in ICS affecting sound? Also want to bump this up for more test results from ppl having home theatre receivers.
HDMI out was working fine for me prior to ICS, but I can't say I really noticed what sound type I was playing. Since ICS I get picture, but no sound. I tried with the same video that worked the other night, as well as with Riptide. Perfect picture but absolutely no audio.
so i just got my htc rezound like 2 days ago and so far its wonderful (coming from a droid razr). the only stipulation im having is streaming audio via bluetooth to my car's stereo system (ford fusion with sync system). it sounds really crappy using the standard player htc gives you, but if you switch to amazon mp3's player it sounds good except for certain pitches and frequencies sound like crap. it almost sounds like crackling but not quite. gives it good bass back tho. so is there a way to fix this? i did unlock my phone like 4 hrs after getting it from the fedex guy. is there anything i can do to it go improve on the audio quality or is this gonna be a "wait for ICS and see" kinda deal?
Try PowerAmp or install a rom with DSP so you can tweak the audio settings.

k will give it a shot later tonight when i leave for work. i honestly dont think it has anything to do with the eq but i'll try it. i think its something with the bluetooth radio thats built in....maybe its just a crappy design idk.
any other ideas in the mean time? or anyone else having the same issue?
Never heard of this problem with differences between players.
Stream all day with my phone and only problems are with ICS not GB.
I have a Ford Focus (with sync) and mine sounds pretty good, but not as good as when I had full time beats on my EVO3D. They only thing I do is turn the volume up on the phone while its playing through the speakers. I do this but using the volume rocker on the side during playback. Its not as good as a CD but not too bad either. Tried to get the guy that fixed it on the 3D to look at the Rezound but he never responded to my PM. I have played with DSP Manager and you can get some improvement. Also other EQs exist in the market that can improve the quality.
<3 ford focus, are you saying it just lacks an equalizer's touch or does it crackle? =o
No Problem
I use the MotoROKR T505 for my car. Bluetooth stereo music over the car speakers is never a problem, regardless of using stock player, meridian, or poweramp.
Zone is right. Turn the volume all the way up. It took me awhile to figure this out. I think its radio interference that you're hearing.

well i tried poweramp from the market and it made some improvement...but still not as crisp as i'd like. it seems like with some of the higher frequencies over bluetooth it kind of mashes them together sort of. idk but coming from a droid razr i can definitely tell a difference. that phone was amazing when it came to audio quality over bluetooth. for now i guess i'll try to rig up the usb cord so my sync system can read the files from my phone or either buy a cheep aux input cord for my ford....until ICS is released....hopefully they made some type of improvement.
edit: i always have the volume maxed out via the rocker on the side....learned that day 1 of having an ipod long ago lol. the droid razr definitely puts out cd quality audio over bluetooth and i was kind of expecting this phone to do the same or better, not sub-par performance.
I wonder if that is the razr's 4.0 bluetooth that provided so
It could just be the way it works, but I'm using the Logitech Mini Boombox with my Transformer Prime when watching movies. The only thing is there seems to be almost a 1 second sound delay which is pretty useless, is there any way to minimise this? (Such as using a custom ROM or player - I'm currently using MX Player) Cheers
What version are you on? what bluetooth speaker are you using?
I can watch videos listening on my bluetooth headphones no problem, when i tried in January to watch a movie on the bluetooth in my car like you said nearly 1 second delay.
No problem now tho, everything works great, im on stock .21.
Maybe its your player as well, maybe its the bluetooh speakers your using, could be a lot of factors give us some more info
I'm on .21 too
The speaker is the logitech mini boombox (http://www.logitech.com/en-us/1201/8725)
I'm using MX Player
Cheers
Same problem with me. I can't use my bluetooth headphones, the delay is too annoying.
idunno what to tell ya, it used to lag for me update fixed it. idunno how idunno why. wish i could be more help :/
Good question.
I got my Bluetooth headset yesterday.
It's the Creative WP 250.
Great sound but I am experiencing a delay watching mkv video on BS player as well..
Is this a common problem using BT headsets and watching video?
It's pretty useless this way.
This problem isn't unique to the Prime. But it is particulary bad on the Prime.
On the Galaxy tab 10.1 I had this problem with BT headphones in all media players except Dice.
On the Prime, I'm getting lag with everything. Dice Player, Netflix...
Wfi on Wifi off doesn't matter. Basically if I use BT headphones, I get video lag.
Its starting to really annoy me. Kind of just want a tablet to work at this point. Finally got a tablet that plays video well, and now I can't use my headphones.
No lag on my Galaxy note or my original Galaxy tab 7. Maybe the Tegra 2 and Tegra 3 chips are to blame. Going to go to Best Buy and test some of the other Tegra 3 Tablets myself and see if they have this problem. Hear lots of people claiming there is no lag on the TF300T, but I suspect some people may not notice it initially or may be more tolerant of less than perfect playback.
Dice player solved my Bluetooth speaker lag problem.
So.. I bought the DNA today and am severely regretting this decision.. Wondering if anyone has experienced the same issue?
I have a Jaybird BlueBuds X bluetooth headphones. Compared to a lot of others, they have an amazing sound quality.. at least they had an amazing sound quality. When they were connected to my Galaxy S3 (running CM10.1 in the interest of full disclosure), they sounded as if they were hard-wired - no distortion, no buzzing, perfect sound quality.
I paired them with my new DNA, hoping for the same audio quality (and then some, due to famed Beats Audio) and... didn't get it.
So the problem I'm running into here is that they now sound like a pair of cheap, 10$ bluetooth headphones - the sound is distorted, there is crackling noise in the background, the music sounds like as if it's 64 kbps - barely usable, very unpleasant. As soon as I pair it back to my old S3, the sound comes back to life.
I've read the forums and understand that the OTA pushed out an update with some bluetooth fix.. I have the OTA (got it that way), so my phone is already running the supposed sound fix.
Has anyone experienced same problem? Especially with higher-end BT headphones? (Jaybirds, Sennheissers etc) Really like the phone, have been an HTC fan since WinMo days, but I simply cannot tolerate this BT flaw... Does it have to do with the BT chip that DNA has, or is it the BT stack/driver on this one?
++> On a side note - sound quality over wire is great.. so this a bluetooth only issue. The issue (noise) is more pronounced on higher frequencies..
I don't have BT headphones, but do have a Sony Xplod CD deck in my wife's Honda & pairing any of my HTC phones via BT sounds so horrible. However, I did get the HTC Steroclip for my Sony Xplod CD deck without BT in my truck & it sounds great. What gives? Was wondering if it might be the same issue as with the headphones.
I am running Creative 350's with apt-x codec and they sound great. I would find a set of headphones with apt-x. You won't be disappointed.

Well, quite honestly, when i first started researching bt headphones for exercising there has not been a single pair that garnered the amount of positive reviews as the bluebuds.. plus they did sound amazing on s3. I did look for aptx - s3 uses it, but no workout headphones that had aptx had good reviews in terms of build quality etc.
I do wonder tho...
On dev.android under the about Android 4.2 JB it does mention that it got a new BT stack developed, replacing current BlueZ as well as updated low-latency audio.. maybe the new stack does indeed improve quality.
im going to flash the s3 with stock 4.1 and see how it sounds and then try a couple of variations of aosp stuff and report back..
Ps. I also found a mention of how s3 uses a2dp edr natively, whereas dna is using aptx... Its going to suck if this is truly a hardware issue...

I think Stereoclip has aptx.
So I flashed S3 back to Stock VRALF2, 4.0.x ICS, and played a couple of songs and still was getting crystal clear quality.. So it has to be the BT implementation in DNA.. Sad. Anyone has any insight into why/what could be the root cause? BT chip? DAC chip?
Thanks
If it helps any, Bluetooth audio sounds great in my 2012 Sonata.

Do you know if the radio in your Sonata supports aptX?
Shoot I'm not even sure what that is. It sounds pretty much the same as when I have it plugged in tho.

I use blue tooth in my car all the time and also over the blue tooth streamer for my receiver at home.
Sounds crystal clear and I have very nice speakers in both the car and at home.

Is codec support built into blutooth or can codecs be added/modified. If so its a non issue. I would help with codec support if I were rooted

Same issue. I streamed music from the same Google Music account, on both my Rezound and DNA, to the same receiver (2010 Infinity G37S).
DNA audio quality is noticeably bad. Especially in mid and high range. It sounds like very low bitrate audio, and/or very lossy compression. The Rezound audio quality over BT is nearly the same as wired.
I suspect HTC has deliberately chose to use a low bitpool value for A2DP w/ the stock Sense ROM. DNA now supports atpX. So, they gimped A2DP stream, with the goal being to sell more of their Bluetooth Stereo Clip product, that support atpX.

If that's really the case.. shame HTC. My m25 ear piece supports aptx and sounds great playing music. In one ear...

Jaybird + dna
I have a set of jaybird freedom's myself and have had no issues with bluetooth, beats audio or audio quality. One thing i have seen though is that some roms do not handle beats over bluetooth very well. The other thing you probably should look at is to make sure that it is pairing as a stereo audio device and not a mono audio device.
+1 for horrible quality here. I use these LG blue tooth ear buds and they just sound terrible. sounded fine on my gs3...and I used one of those jbl stereo boxes and it's awful.. and again fine on the gs3. sucks.

I have a set of Sony bt headphones (bought on amazon a while back for around $40 way before DNA I had Bionic back then) that sound very good I also stream via HTC BT dongle to my Sony xplod in car with with Fosgates all around music sounds GREAT I can really tell the difference when Beats is off even more so when I flash Awesome Beats...I also noticed a setting the other day on my Sony deck for AUX VOL while messing with sub output I turned the AUX volume up now I'm really bumping hahaha

DNA Sound Quality
I hope you haven't given up entirely on your DNA since your post because there are some options you can explore.
Did you try turning off "Beats Audio" in your settings? I purchased the Power Amp music player update and Power Amp and Beats Audio don't work well together. In my experience, the standard Music player that comes with your phone works best with Beats. Other music players may also have the same problem. Second question, did your problem go away with the latest update to Jelly Bean 4.2.2?
Good Luck,

Hello,
Just bought myself the Bose SoundLink Bluetooth Mobile Speaker, and there is an delay in the audio - doesn't matter in music, but it does matter when it comes to movies...
Is audio delay normal in a bluetooth connection, or is it something that shouldn't be there?
Is there maybe something wrong with the Bose unit, or something in the Tablet Z's bluetooth software?
i believe it is normal. i notice a sound delay between my asus tf700 and my potable bluetooh speaker. and i doubt it is on bose end. i have their headphone and a speaker system and he quality id phenomenal. sound and build. ill look into it more for you when i wake up hha its almost 2am here.

Give me a thanks if i helped
Lg Lucid running Cm10

That was a quick answer
I just paired the speaker with my Nexus 4, and there is no audio delay in movies or TV-shows...
I believe that this means that there is an issue with the Sony bluetooth hardware/software.

I noticed a 1/2 second delay when using Sony Headphones on this tablet. Is a bit annoying for watching films.
When I had the tablet for a few days I also had the annoying Bluetooth delays.
No delays with Nexus 7 and same movies / YouTube vids and same Bluetooth receiver (Harman Kardon BTA10).
So it's a fault of the Tablet Z, either software-wise or hardware-wise (which would suck very much...).

Indeed, that would be an insane issue - lets hope it is a software problem.
Do they have some official channel where one could complain?
Update: The Tablet Z actually sounds way worse than the Nexus 4 does, through bluetooth; spent an hour trying to get the sound right on the Z, and it cannot be done - took only a few minutes on the Nexus 4, and the sound resembles my stereo system.
Maybe something with Android 4.1?
Another explanation could be that I'm going slightly mad, and the sound difference is all in my mind.
Created an account just to post this info. I'm quite positive the issue lies with Sony's hardware or software. I have the problem described with my xperia z1, which is EXACTLY the problem I have on my Playstation Vita. Specifically the delay and same poor/corrupt sounding quality. It's a shame because I'm a big sony fanboy
Same problem here...
Think maybe's a sound postprocessing matter...
I wonder if you would have the same issues if you turned off the "Clear Phase" and "xLOUD" and "S-Force" settings in the "Sound" section of the settings. Perhaps the processing of the audio is causing the delay?

S Force and xLoud are only applied to the device speakers.
Old i know
I know that this is old but look in the appstore for BS Player. Once you load the video go to settings and look for audio then audio offset. See if that works for you.
I bought Harman Kardon Omni 10.
If I use bluetooth I have 1000 ms audio delay.
However, if I use another cheap headphone, I can listen to my computer speakers WITHOUT delay.
I think the issue happen because Harman Kardon Omni 10 doesn't support aptx. Also it may be because it's a wifi speakers. Or may be because they have their own built in delay.
No problem for listening to music. With movies, I can simply set -1000 ms audio.
But with games? I suffer a lot.
I had no idea that I will face this problem.
The sound quality is very good.
I have no idea what to do with the audio latency.
