Hi all,
I noticed this annoying issue with both the stock ROM and Dutty's latest... all phone calls made with either a bluetooth headset (tried with jabra JX10, GenComm ZEN, a couple crappy no-brand ones, a couple other Jabras, and even my Pioneer BT car stereo) sound pretty low and very tinny, as if the voice were coming through a string and two cans...
Any clues on how to fix this? None of my other phones exhibit this behavior.
Thanks!
try this for tinny bt sound
Yom,
I noticed this same problem with my Tilt, the sound over the Bluetooth connection in my A3 is worse than it was with my 4 year old Motorola v600.
This weekend I downloaded an update from HTC, then installed Kaiser Tweaks and Disabled the UseJointStereo function in the Bluetooth menu. To get the update from HTC you have to join the HTC e-Club:

The fix is listed as solving an issue with dropped calls over the BT connection, I was not having that issue but I figured installing this would not hurt.
Together these two changes have made the sound quality a little better, though still not up to par with my old phone.
Hi Folks!
Recently got a bluetooth FM transmitter so i can go hands free in the car and use phones music player too
However the audio is very heavily compressed when using A2DP - no bass and the top end frequencies turn to mush - ie not good enough to use
Checked all eq settings and different FM frequencies, no difference
plugged the analogue audio cable direct from the phone to the bluetooth FM transmitter and immediately got perfect sound again
I dont see many poeple talking about this on this forum or many answers but the closest seems to be windows phones can access and modify registry settings to check and increase the bitrate
My current thinking is the bitrate (or bitpool) over bluetooth A2DP is set too low, or when the phone and FM transmitter pair the phone selects a bitrate that's too low for quality audio (but ok for calls)
My question is does anyone know how modify the bitpool settings on the Galaxy S please?
I am going to get a custom ROM and will very happy when the phone is really mine so if that's what it takes I'm up for it
Many many thanks!

2.1.1 Eclair on 3 mobile network in the UK
Nexus Drive Transmit Pro (Bluetooth FM transmitter music and hands free car kit)
I have the Galaxy S on 3 UK since August. I use the bluetooth to transmit sound to my Samsung surround sound system (as I don't own a stereo). I don't notice significant quality issues doing this. Are you sure both your devices are supporting A2DP. Not all A2DP devices talking nicely with each other, so you may be failing back to the normal Bluetooth frequencies which are more focus of the vocal range. I'm looking a car stereo's right now that support A2DP so I can stream my audio from my phone straight to my stereo, my phone is becoming the centre of my entertainment!!
I'm running Doc's ROM on my phone, can't recommend moving to his Froyo ROM's and an enhanced kernel enough, my phone is working so much better with his ROM, but there are lots out there to choose from.
I am using A2DP in my car too and I find the sound quality being very good.
The thing is, the default Android audio player (Music Player) is pretty poor and often it lags for me.
Since I moved to MiuiMusic (Search here) all those lags are gone and it works perfectly and smoothly in my car.
Now, as pointed already to you, all BT devices do not communicate flawlessly between each other sometimes...
works great for me, streaming from the SGS to the car CZ 509 deck
i don't even carry CDs in my car anymore
even the lovely sub base sound comes through clearly.
nothing better like a Sonic Massage meanwhile you are driving
I wanted to create a new thread on this, but then I've seen this one. Is there no one with a solution except flashing cyanogen?
It could be a setting on your bluetooth receiver.
For example, I've got a pair of Sony DR-BT21G bt stereo headphones. When you hold a special button combination, it switches it from "high quality" to "any quality", and will just select whatever bitrate it thinks is best, usually, something that sounds about half as good.
Try looking in your manual for troubleshooting and see if there are any settings that you can change on the receiver itself?

Hmm, i using Sony MW600 BT headphones. I've checked the manual, but there's nothing about quality :/
But i dont think that's the problem anyway, as i tried Cyanogenmod and it got perfect quality then. But otherwise cyanogen is quite useless for me on my Galaxy S, its just too buggy. There must be someone who can change the bitpool quality on the stock gingerbread to the highest possible...
Exact same issue for me (as described by DJ LIBRE), I have a Belkin Wireless Bluetooth Music Receiver and the sound quality is horid... it's got nothing on AirPlay which I think is still kind of average quality!
I also wonder if there is a highbitrate setting that can be adjusted?
Running CyanogenMod Nightly #130 on SGS.
After getting used to listening to 24/96 FLAC's with the Voodoo Sound mod enabled with a custom built headphone amp and semi decent can's all I can say is BT Audio is a waste of time!
Has anyone noticed whether the music player was set to 5.1 surround mode? Had a similar issue where turning off the 5.1 fixed the sound streaming...
Anyone notice the sound from bluetooth A2DP sounds horrible compare to 4.2??
Is it possible to copy some bluetooth lib files from 4.2 to maintain the sound quality??
My primary deviceis Sbh50. Nearly all my phone calls made with it. Also nearly 4 hours a day used for music. Did not get any difference from old firmware.

worst sound quality than 4.2
I got the same issue with MW600 bluetooth handset...
Same here with sennheiser m-550x and jawbone big jambox. No feedback from Sony yet.
Anyone, please help us!

We/I need the driver from 4.2. In 4.3, the alarms, notifications and ringtones go through internal speaker. My internal speaker will NOT wake me up in the morning, that's why I have bluetooth speakers, but in 4.3 all i can use them for is music and video soundtracks - even so, the audio over BT on 4.3 is awful and not as loud as in 4.2. (tested on both 4.2 and 4.3)
So we want the fancy 4.3 but with the decent 4.2 driver. Can anyone manage that?
Hi all,
recently I re-start using bluetooth headset and I run into the same very poor audio quality (overamplified, sounding cracking) some beta users reported in the bluetooth/wifi thread of the beta tester forum.
I've tried three bt headset:
- Samsung (bt v3.0)
- Plantronics (bt v3.0)
- Nokia (bt v2.1)
I've done a lot of test (also flashing back JB) and here the response:
- With KK (stock) the audio quality during phone call is very poor (all three headsets).
- With KK (stock) the audio quality is good when I forward media audio to the bt headset (only Plantronics support this function).
- With JB (stock) the audio quality during phone call is good with Plantronics and very poor with Samsung (Nokia not tested).
- With JB (stock) the audio quality during media audio forwarding has not been tested.
- With CM11 the audio quality during phone call is very poor (Plantronics and Samsung tested).
As someone encountered the same issue and found a solution?
Thanks.
Hello,
i have the Xperia Z3compact for over One Year.
I'm on the road every day, so I use the Sennheiser Presence Bluetooth Headset for any call.
My only Problem is when calling; other's hear me to low! They have to increase their speakers to maximum and had problem to hear me. The Sound Quality is very good but they here me too low.
I have tested every Rom from (original) Android 4.4.4 over 5 Lollipop Versions (stock and rooted Rom's) and now on the newest Sony Android 6.0.1
-all with same bad results
When I'm calling with the Phone (without Headset) all here me perfect and loud.
But not with the BT Headset!
Then i have tested Cyanogenmod Cm12.x and wow the Problem with Bluetooth headset is completely gone
All here me loud and perfect!
But on CM the camera Quality is gone and I have the fisheye problem.
Now the big question:
why is the BT Headset outgoing mic volume louder than on any other Rom's?
And is there any option to increase the Bluetooth outgoing mic volume with a rooted (stock) Rom?
I know about the mixer_paths.xml file.. but no one ever, write here; How to tune the Bluetooth outgoing Mic volume!?!
All only tune the z3c inside mic's and speakers..
CM Mod is nice but buggy there is no stable Version and the cam quality is crap.
So please, if any one have a idea what I can try? to increase Bluetooth Mic Volume!
Help me!
Information:
The Problem is not my Hardware...
I have tested the Bluetooth Headset with other Smartphone without problems!
I have tested the Headset with another new Z3compact -same result other here me to low on BT Headset Calls.
So there is no Hardware defect.
PS: Sorry for my bad English.
Hope someone can help me
