[Q] Audio Problem on FroYo (Call audio not playing thru jack) - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This worked fine with the stock 2.1.. but when I flashed to 2.2 using Odin, I can't hear audio calls through my speakers plugged into the jack. Sound only plays through the earpiece or speakerphone.
Is there a fix for this? Do any of the custom ROMS have a fix for this?

Not to sound like a jerk, but have you searched the forums about this? This has been discussed quite a bit, so I'm surprised you didn't find it.
2.2 removed the option to play calls over external speakers.

Yeah I searched around for an hour then posted... it's really a dumb "feature" and I wish they would at least provide you a choice. Esp because I plug in my phone to my car and prefer to drive hands-free (sans bluetooth)
That's why I'm asking if one of the ROMs allow you to do that.

Problem with phone calls over car aux

I hate making new threads but I can't seem to find an answer. Maybe I'm using the wrong keywords.
I use my N1 in my car alot. It's my main source for my music and hand's free calling while driving. I use the aux jack on my stereo to the N1 for music.
When I get a call it would ring though the speakers and I would touch the slider to accept the call. The caller would hear me crystal clear and I would hear them though the speakers just fine.
Now when I get a call, they can't hear me. They say I sound like I'm far far away. I can hear them just fine. But I look like a madman in my car screaming and yelling just to be heard.
So what I have to do now, is answer the call, and touch speaker, which only plays the voice though the speaker phone. They hear me crystal clear but sound is no longer going to the car speakers.
Anybody have this problem or know what's causing it or even a push in the right direction?
I have this excact same problem.
I came from a milestone using a standard 3.5mm audio jack and calls went really well. But when i tried my nexus, i got the same response, "sounds liek your far away".
I tried a few AUX cables but they all seem to do the same thing. So my solution was a aux cable with a built in mic.
I ended up modding the headphones that came with my nexus to get this working. Removed the earbuds and soldered a 3.5mm jack.
Now when i talk using that cable with a built in mic, ppl hear me very clearly. So i've jsut been using that cable since. I'm sure you can buy a premade aux cable with a mic at any local mobile audio store. I saw one at a BestBuy mobile here.
Hope this helps.
but the issue is that at one point it DID work normal with his nexus. i think what is going on here is the phone originally read the aux input as just standard audio output. but now its reading it differently somehow, i just dont know why. its almost like the difference when a phone thinks you have headset connected vs audio out connected with no mic support. no idea on a solution though...

I was thinking on buying the Belkin one with the mic right at the aux jack.
Hope this helps.

Exactly, it DID work. I can't pin point when it happened for me. I was thinking maybe it was when I went from Eclair to Froyo?
I'm almost positive that using the phone over Aux out broken with the update to Froyo. Has anyone tried this yet with Gingerbread on the N1 or with an NS? I'm hoping they fixed this, it's a really, really frustrating problem.
My fear is that everyone at Google got free car docks so they won't ever fix it because it's never a problem for them.
I also have the exact same problem. Thought it never worked for me, I only recently sets up my car mount with aux. Anybody found a solution?

[ISSUE] No Sound Through Stereo Speakers

It's hard to explain what my problem is but here goes nothing.
It seems I am the only person with this problem so I was hoping someone could try to reproduce it and possibly offer a solution.
When I have my I9000 connected through the car speakers (or any audio output with an AUX cable), the sound is mute when trying to make a call (hands free). Sound works fine when playing music and using navigation. Can anyone verify what I am talking about?
When I was using the Captivate using the stock ROMS...I didn't have this "no sound" issue. When I flashed any I9000 ROM on it though, again, the sound wouldn't work through the stereo speakers when trying to make a call.
Any takers?

Bluetooth A2DP quality issue

So, I've looked around...does anyone use their captivate to stream to a car audio receiver? And if so, does it sound like crap for you too? With EVERY rom I've flashed, I have horrible highs, and really muddy lows if I use BT in my car. Friends iPhone 3gs- flawless. I've heard things about bitpool, music players, and bluetooth stacks. Some say the AOSP CM7 builds use the google bt stack, and it's better than what samsung gives us. Can anyone help me here?
My headphone jack has a poor connection to the left channel, so using the AUX cable, I only get audio out of the right side of my car. I've already replaced it once, would rather not have to again since I *should* be able to use BT instead. Hands free would be so nice, but it sounds worse than 128kbps mp3's...
I just started streaming over BT in my car and I was very pleased with the sound quality. To me, it sounds very close to the sound quality when plugged into the AUX port.
I'm running JVZ.

JVZ is an i9000 port, right? I'm not up to date on the current releases. I was wondering if the ICS builds had good audio quality, but no one replied when I asked in the dev thread. Are you using the stock media player too?
Yes, I am running an i9000 build. I just got the new car with Bluetooth, so I haven't had the opportunity to test on other ROMs, because (for the fist time on a while) I'm happy with what I am running.
I have used everything on my phone that makes "noise" including the Audible.com app, Sirius XM streaming app, standard music app and MIUI music app.

Problem with headphone connection

Hi all, first post.
Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else so thought id register and make this thread.
Got a HTC One a couple of months ago and absolutely love it. Recently had no problems with it, but then just the other day, plugged in the headphones that come stock with the phone and the sound wasn't playing through the headphones. thought this odd seeing as it worked the day before. Also the sound was being transmitted through the phone speakers even with the headphones connected.
I downloaded an app called soundabout and selected the output to headphones, and this seemed to work, but then meant media wouldnt play through the phone's speakers. so i deleted the app in hope the headphone jack would now work as it just did with the app, but it doesnt, still the sound is played through the speakers, even though with the app it could be played through the headphones.
has anyone else had this problem?
all help greatly appreciated. thanks!

bluetooth audio output

Hi guys and gals,
I have tried searching Google and on here, but I can't seem to find another person with this problem.
The issue I have is: when my S6 is Bluetooth-paired to my car (2014 Passat S/TSI), audio for notifications/charging/directions initially plays through the speakerphone for ~half-second, then switches to my car speakers. This results in a weird sounding echo for the first second of the sound. Whatever it is, it does not seem to affect music playing, and it does not matter if music is continually playing or the phone is silent.
I never had this problem with my GS2 or my HTC One M7. I was wondering if others had this problem or know some things to try and fix it?
I've already reset the phone and reset the Bluetooth connections car- and phone-side.
@jeebuz. There are a lot of Bluetooth problems with this phone and cars right now. I have a weird issue with audio books, the volume goes up and down. I haven't tried to make calls on bluetooth though. One guy has a long post in the "Dropped Calls" thread you should read.
