Enable audio through your BlueTooth headset...

[LTxda]

I found this file a couple of days ago in another forum under xda-developers.com. I can't remember exactly which one so I'm posting the file here for anyone that needs it because I can't find the link I downloaded it from.

There are three files in the btaudio.zip archive. BTAudioOff.exe, BTAudioOn.exe and BTAudioToggle.exe. If I read correctly BTAudioToggle.exe works as a stand alone file. Just save it anywhere, create a shortcut or map a button to it and you're done. It'll basically toggle the BTAudio on or off. Pretty simple. The other two files are self explanatory, one turns on the feature and one turns it off. I tested it today while watching a movie on my XDA. Works pretty nicely and I've found no bugs yet.

This works perfectly with my Jawbone. Yes, it will probably drain the battery on the headset but I only use it in temporary circumstances.

Hope this is useful to someone else.

the hp ipaq 6965 which i had before the x7500 had this feature built in, i'm wondering if windows mobile 6 will have it as well,

also, i tried this program and once you tap the answer button on your headset the audio goes back to the phone

[LTxda]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll know to toggle it back on or turn it down. :-)

it doesn't work when there is a call ..I mean it auto switch off and then no sound from BT..this app has been around for an year but practically no use..

Hi,

you can use btIO for the same. It's a tray app so there is no need of shortcuts for on/off/toggle.

Perfect for my needs - just received a set of Sony DR-BT30Q Stereo headphones from ebay and they work perfectly with this.

Doesn't stereo headsets (A2DP) work without the bluetooth audio gateway? At least mine do...

Hi c0rnholio. Nice application, thanks.:)

I only have one problem though, whilst I can activate audio2bt successfully and I can hear music via my ordinary BT earpiece, it also automatically invokes my voice calling software thus switching the audio2bt immediately off.:(

Any ideas how to overcome this?

Well, if you don't use the built-in voicespeeddial then it's pretty easy.

Just set: HKLM\software\oem\voicecommand\launchappenable to 0

MS-VoiceCommand will still work after this reg-change.

If you do use the built-in app then I have no idea.

Thanks for that cOrnholio. I'll apply the reg change and get me a copy of MS Voice Command (everyone says its crap anyway, so it's time to upgrade :)). Thanks again.

Looks awesome! Thanks.

[di2307]

I tried. Looks good.
What is AudioGWCC ON/OFF?
The problem is with the scenario: I switched audio to headset, listen to music, incoming call, I pick up, music paused (Mort player), I hung up, music starts again, but it switched back to the device.
Any idea?

AudioGWCC is the Switch for the Audio Gateway Control Channel. I've put it in because of some headsets required to explicitly establish the control channel first (from what I've seen). The behaviour you described is normal. The device closes the control channel after a call is finished. I don't know if there is a way to deactivate or to circumvent it.

oh men, this is really one of the most important tools what you can download and install it on the Ameo.
I couldn't say how much do I have to tell you : thank you.
BTIO together with WifiIO are the perfect combination to manage complete BT and also WiFi from today screen.
And it's freeware too. absolut perfect.

[di2307]

Gentlemen,
I am sorry to bother with the same topic, looks like all are happy with BtIO and similar utilites...
I have a problem that drives me crazy... :(
I am listen to audio books (using Mortplayer) a lot, the problem with incoming calls:
1. Switch audio to headset, sound plays in headset. Perfect.
2. Incoming call:
.........Device is switching sound to a loudspeaker
.........I hear 0.5 sec of loud sound comming from a device
.........Audio playback is paused
.........Ringtone plays from loudspeaker
3. I pick up the call using headset button
.........Audio switched back to headset
.........I can hear some ringtone sound for 0.5 sec
.........Phone conversation
4. I hung up using Phone button or headset button or another party hung ups
.........Audio playback resumed
.........Audio switched to loudspeaker
5. I have to act quickly to switch audio back to headset by pressing button. This is very annoying :mad:

I tried utilities:
acbToggleBT-0.8.cab
BTAudio_PPC.ARMV4.CAB
btaudiocf1.cab
btaudiotoday.cab
btIO-0.5.CAB
bluemusic 2.0.[desktop].exe

BlueMusic looks the best, still it can't detect the scenario (5)...
Looks like I am missing something... This problem looks a very basic for me and I believe should be already solved...

Please help!

Also, I don't see a practical value of utilities above... I can svitch Audio to BT and back just by clicking the button on a headset. (I desabled the Voice comander)

Regards,
Dimitriy

I haven't found a program fix that will resolve the issue yet. I love the utility and use it knowing what to expect. Doesn't make it useless, just isn't 100% perfect for some users. For me it works perfectly. I'd rather it have one bug than it not work at all. Maybe one day they will update the program but for now it's great for my use. I just take an extra moment to pause manually what I was listening to when a call comes in or while i'm on the call so this doesn't happen to me. Especially if I'm at a client site.

I see your point. Can you explaine what exactly problem it is solving for you?
I can switch audo to BT and back by just clicking Send button on the headset. So what is the use of the utility?

[samile]

hello poor guy me is the same i have tested all audio to bluetooth software and nothing work i have try the reshack on this site to put stereo to mono and nothing work i am disapointed the only solution i have is buy a stereo one because on the samsung i320 you have an option to use that kind of hardware.
if any person have a solution it was great ;)
(sorry for my english)

[LTxda]

With my headset (www.jawbone.com) if i click the button it activates audio to bt temporarily. It'll activate MS Voice Command then turn off. there are registry hacks that allow this to work differently but I prefer a utility to control it through. I havent been able to get audio to bt like many other users. I can watch movies, listen to my Corelayer, audiobooks, voicemail though email, etc in private. My device, HTC Advantage/x7500 can't do this by default. Maybe your headset allows these featured while mine doesn't. My headset is not meant to be used as an always on audio device so I need these utilities.

[di2307]

With my headset (www.jawbone.com) if i click the button it activates ....

Well, I am using the LG HBM-700, it has a numerical keypad and OLED display, so it is very handy with X7500 - I can keep X7500 in a bag while using it as a phone.
http://blackberryforums.pinstack.com/10363-review_lg_hbm_700_style_i.html

I tested several BT hansets and all alows to switch audio to BT and back with the Snd button. You need to disable Voice Commander:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\Launc hAPEnable" set to 0

What I can't blieve, that so basic problem is not solved. People on XDA using WM devices for years... Using BT for music and phone functions is a basics...
Any ideas?

[di2307]

Anybody tried BlueMusic?

Looks like it works. Not perefect, though....

[bharvey]

I have a Cingular 8525 and a Motorola HS850 bluetooth headset. I have tried BTaudio and btIO and one or two others, but no matter what I do, music comes out the device rather than the headset. I've tried alternatives to WMP but that doesn't help either. HTC says maybe they'll have a patch someday. :( Any suggestions?

Also, I'm thinking about buying Voice Command, but I'm afraid it'll have the same problem. Should I be worried?

[di2307]

Yes, BlueMusic worked. :)
http://www.teksoftbluemusic.com/index.php?section=home
It is switching Music->PhoneCall->Music automaticaly. Not very smooths, though... but better then nothing!

Wish it were free. :-(

I'm willing to live with one missing feature.

[TheEngineer0815]

Just set: HKLM\software\oem\voicecommand\launchappenable to 0

deactivates the funcion of VoiceSpeedDial over the headset!
But i want to use it!
When it is enabled a klick on "Audio2BT" starts the VoiceSpeedDial!
So i have troubles I think!

Does somebody knows a solution for me?

[jamezelle]

btaudiotoggle is a great 3 part zip to switch all audio to ur bt or turn it off.

Tried to change registry value using regedit. Cant find that particular key. Should it be there, or do i need to make a new string/key etc?

[natong]

another choice

but it didn't work on my P3300 WM6.1

BTaudio did work but not so good.

So sad. Don't work for my WM6.1 Artermis.

[TrekkerJmm]

How about "Chartcross BT audio router" I use it for my HTC Advantage and it works great, if you search for it you may find it free or real cheap...TJ
Here is a link for reference. "http://chartcross.co.uk/"

[rickyvee]

it doesn't work when there is a call ..I mean it auto switch off and then no sound from BT..this app has been around for an year but practically no use..

So, what I'm getting from all this, is that as soon as the unit is turned off, or a call comes in,
it will revert to the speakers.

So there's no way for the Athena to let you know it has, for instance, an SMS, or an e-mail noticiation via the bluetooth headset.

So there's no way you can have the Athena be quiet and still let you know what's going on in the world. You just have to keep looking at it.

Right?

[kbj2xda]

Initially no sound - then start camera, record video, stop video recording by going to today page , then run btaudio again - this streams audio through a non A2Dp headset too.

Of course, WM 6.1 seems to have solved the problem altogether.

Good luck.
