Default Clicking noise when listening music over bluetooth

When I listen to music with my Desire S over bluetooth there is a clicking noise in an unsteady interval. I already tested my headset with a HTC Hero and a Dell Notebook Latidude E6410 and it works perfectly.
That is the reason I guess it is a problem with the phone. So I contacted HTC. They recommend to do a factory reset.
What do you think? Is there even a little chance this really works?
As I don't have/know an app to backup my application data (except Titanium Backup, which needs root, which I don't have) I'm hesitating to do a reset of my phone.

Thanks for your help

Same problem here - on Incredible S, brief click/blip every 30s or so. Logged this with HTC and got the standard reply. Anyway I did try a reset and did not install any apps, still the same problem. Have been watching this forum for similar issues, as the IS does not yet have Gingerbread, I was hoping this might fix it

Do you have the problem listening/watching to video? Aside from a slight delay/sync issue, I have no problem with video, only music playback. Have tried several music players, bluetooth 'fix' apps, you name it.

Had no problem on previous Desire HD, and no current problems with my laptop. Has to be an HTC software bug? Or poor HTC hardware? It's real annoying

yes as you may have noticed, when using a Bluetooth the quality is not the best. I think it has some reason to do with the way those gronks at HTC has programmed the software, as you already know the issue with WiFi.

I have quality issues as well when using a bluetooth headset, but its mainly that the sound warps - even when only moving away a meter from the handset (even though its supposed to be a ten meter radius) Grrrrrr. I would say to try out a different player, probably one that has a bigger audio buffer. try playerpro trial and see how you guys go with that.

Here's to hoping that on of the devs has fixed this bug as htc think that have done a marvelous job on the products they are offering, i could slap them!

i can't confirm that. i've been using A2DP with a few different devices, and my observation has always been, that with every device the quality improves dramatically when the device-volume is fully turned up, and then regulated down again at the device used for listening to the music. so for exaple: medaia-volume at desire s full, device-volume at car-radio as desired.
used that way, listening to music via A2DP never sounded bad to me, no matter which device i have used...

i can't confirm the other reports, i do however get a constant noise in the background when using a bluetooth headset. i guess it's best described as white noise, though i'm not sure if that is what it is. back when i had the desire with an aosp rom it worked just fine, so i am guessing htc added their own bluetooth stack along with sense...

@Ep1cF4il

have you tried, as i mentioned, raising the media-volume to the max and regulating the volume at the listening-device? following that procedure the noise i had with low volume disappears.
