Configuring Jawbone for A2DP support??

---

Has anyone been able to configure their Jawbone (or other mono headset) to hear playback via A2DP or other means?

I've googled the entire interweb and cannot seem to get this to work.

The only option I have for the device in the bluetooth manager is "headset" the "set as stereo headset" is grayed out.

Thanks for any help!

The Jawbone doesn't support A2DP. There are programs that allow you to stream audio to it (See post above). However, they stream it at phone call quality, which means music sounds god awful. Plus, it eats the battery of the Jawbone (which thinks its it making a phone call).

If you actually want bearable audio, you want a real A2DP headset.

The Jabra BT8040 supports A2DP natively and is an excellent BT headset. I wish it had a standard power plug (fewer things to pack for business trips) but other than that, it rocks.

I also have a Jawbone and prefer the BT8040...the Jawbone has much outstanding noise cancellation but the BT8040 beats it in every other category IMHO.

Or use this small free utility to send all the Audio output to the blue tooth headset (even if it doesn't support A2DP).

Works flawlessly on my phone

if your bluetooth doesn't have a2dp and you want to force audio throught the regular bluetooth headset then look for the btaudio.cab

I find this to be the easier one to use. Run the can and there will be an icon under programs. Click it will force audio and click it again will undo. This is simple cause it doesnt hog system resources.

Any one here familiar with a "work-around" (such as posted above) for the android platform?
I own a nexus one and Jawbone prime - wish I could stream music/voip(!) over my jawbone (blue tooth ear piece)..

Thanks
