Works great on my i-tech blueband

Works great on my i-tech blueband stereo headphones. The sound is noticeably better. They are now STEREO headphones and sound like Stereo. Thanks. No skipping by the way..so far played 6 consecutive tracks in wma fromat encoded @ 64kpbs (reduced to get my music on my micro sd card). Once again thanks again for this.

I just upgraded my wizard with NBD 7.2 which has the same behaviour with my ITech S38 as well. It sounds exactly the same as WM5 with JS disabled and the samplerate set to 48000, but not in mono.. so something has changed in the WM6 bluetooth stack, but has not improved the sound with the ITech S35/S38..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dishe:
It has already been stated that the "cooked" roms, particularly the ones built off of the early builds and beta WM6 roms, had even WORSE a2dp drivers than WM5 (there's a thread of people who reverted back to WM5 just because of that).

since the Wizard never had an official WM6 build, chances are the one you used still has the poor beta rom BT stack.

Official devices (and hopefully soon some more of the cooked roms for other devices) SHOULD fix the problem, but I can't confirm this since I'm waiting to try it too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] new2city:
Matt's Pandora's has the latest WM6 build from Mun. Meaning, music is still Stereo when UseJointStereo=1. But for my Itech's on my Wizard, the hissing is still there, so I am still stuck with lousy A2DP. Planing to try with Matt's InGenetic's Kitchen and see how it goes but my broadband is still down...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] newbro:
With my iTech-Clip R35, in WM5 jointstereo=1 will results in mono output, change to value 0 will results in stero output, but with very noticable hissing in the background. In fact it's so annoying I actually stopped using it and go back to the good ol' wired headset.

But this is not the case with the new WM6 rom. With Black Shadow rom jointstereo=1 seems to do the tricks and result in excellent stereo output. Everything works great now. Just my 2cents.

I've followed all your instructions but now I don't get any sound at all throught my headset. to give you some background on my phone its a unlocked Cingular 8525 running Faria XDAROM and my headset is a pair of motorola HT820. PLEASE HELP
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] titus666:
Yes, I understand and have read through those threads as well. I'm trying to gauge whether the new(est) BT stack should fix this, or whether there might still be a problem with the ITech. This is because with the newer WM6 roms available with the Wizard, when JS is enabled, the sound is NOT coming up as mono (unlike the WM5 BT stack), however the sound quality and tinny/hissing sounds are still present.

I did see a post today (Newbro) with an ITech R35 have gotten (much) improved A2DP sound after upgrading to WM6 and enabling JS. The guess is he is using a Hermes (this is a Hermes thread afterall!) and thus there is probably hope for the Wizard builds as well. I also have another particular interest as I was planning to buy a Hermes (Dopod 838pro) in the not too distant future.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dmon:
Followed the instructions and got really good sound over a2dp, however when I place a call I hear nothing but static. Set Joint Stereo to 0 and left the other settings and now I can place calls with good quality and listen to music, however I do think the music quality got a little worse. Anyone now how I can get around this and have good sound both for music and calls?

Using LVSW rom and Pulsar 260

Edit: After one more soft reset it seems I can make calls ok with Joint Stereo set to 1, but if I receive a call there is nothing, not even static.

Edit: Well now it just works. Don't really know why it suddenly started working but I'm not complaining anymore...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] titus666:
FYI that Zoki has put in the latest Bluetooh & A2DP drivers in NKD 7.3 for the Wizard, and my ITech now has much improved sound.

Is it quite common that WM5/6 doesnt support certain A2DP devices??

I bought a jabra bt320s A2DP headset, when i come to pairing the thing the only service listed is Handsfree...ive tried it on ALL the WM6 ROMs aswell as an older AKU 3.3.1 ROM last night.

The headset isnt faulty as it will quite nicely stream sound from my PC aswell as other devices.

My hermes will recognise my car stereo (Sony MEXBT5000) as wireless stereo and works fine on that??

Any ideas??

EDIT:: LOL!!!!! Jabra support seems to think the Hermes doesnt support high quality audio (aka A2DP).....i smell bull****!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] obsydian:
Worked well on my wizard

It made a very worthwhile improvement on my Wizard, still some residual hiss/tizz on vocals.

However, I am left with one extra setting as opposed to the two:

UseJointStereo = 1

SampleRate = 48000

Additional key value that seems default that i cannot delete ?

WM6 BT stack Compared

I just tried the (wizard)NBD 7.3 ROM to compare the BT stack with the TNT 2.0 version wich gave me the mono effect changing the jointstereo=1 parameter.

I can not hear any quality improvement or difference between these two ROM's on my SonyEricsson HBHDS970.

Also the SampleRate parameter does nothing for me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MontAlbert:
ok stupid question- when you say remove the value it means to delete the key totally?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] johnburn:
Logitech FreePulse

For those that might be using the Logitech FreePulse headphones (successor to the weak-banded Logitech Bluetooth Headphones for iPod/MP3). After considerable testing, I recommend that for best quality audio you need to do the following:

1. Install Sleuth's A2DPFix program. Without it, you will get constant skipping regardless of what else you do.

2. Set JointStereo to 0. With JointStereo set to 1, you get a weird cross-channel "digital echo" effect -- kinda reminds me of the DSP effects on home stereos to fake different environments. To really hear this, play the Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers song Louisiana Rain. At the very beginning is what sounds like an old fashioned mechanical clock winding down in fast motion which only plays in the left channel. With JointStereo = 0, the right channel is silent (as it should be). With JointStereo = 1, you hear a buzzing echo in the right channel.

3. Adding the SampleRate = 48000 DWORD key does improve quality slightly, but seems to make the music more likely to skip when the phone radio is active in the background (e.g. switching from one cell to another). So I left this out.

That's the best I have been able to accomplish with these headphones. Nevertheless, you will still experience occasional skips (especially at the beginning of songs when jumping from one song to another) and you will also hear occasional "crackles" and "pops", just like old fashioned vinyl records. I guess Logitech took some shortcuts when they implemented Bluetooth in these headphones (they much worse than their predecessors, unfortunately). I wouldn't recommend them to anyone using a Hermes.

Thanks guys....the settings worked great...now i can finally enjoy great sound on my ht820s!!!

Note to mods: i think this post deserves sticky status!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ITAdmin:
Ok, I've only had my 8125 for 8 months and had to get it replaced because the mini headphone jack in the phone became so loose that the plug would fall out. I use this in my vehicle to play recorded audio dialogue and it plugs into the aux jack on my Pioneer 9800BT stereo.

This unit has A2DP capability, but my 8125 doesn't. I investigated this issue months ago, but found there was nothing available, short of installing a hacked ROM, which I don't really want to do.

Has anything new come up? Is there an updated ROM for the 8125 yet? I don't understand why this feature isn't available, as it sure seems to be a great function. With that, I wouldn't have to use the jack on the 8125 to play audio. It’s only a matter of months before the jack wears out again and by that time, the warranty will be expired and Cingular/ATT doesn’t offer an extended warranty for PDA’s/PPC phones!

I know it will work because I can use my Jabra BT earpiece while the audio is playing and when I press the connect button, I get clear audio through the earpiece, but it only lasts a couple of seconds. I did try to add some kind of hack to the previous 8125 I had, and it did sort of work, but once the phone rang or I made a call, the audio would skip and I had to restart the whole thing until the phone rang again. No good :-(

Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!

I followed a link to this thread from another site where I posted this same question. I hope that's OK? If not, delete one or the other!

Thanks mucho!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dishe:
Cingular (att, whatever) has all but abandoned that device. They've got newer devices to support, so I doubt you'll see any new updates for what they consider an obsolete phone.

That being said, it is MORE than capable if you're willing to install a few things to make it work.

If the latest 8125 rom is at least AKU 2, you may not need to install a "hacked rom" at all, but rather just a patch to enable a feature hidden already in your rom.

read the "a2dp for tornado" thread for more info.

Between you and me, I wouldn't bother hesitating with the hacked roms. My experience is that they are usually far better than the original carriers rom in every regard except support from the carrier. But you can always switch back if you don't like it... its really a lot easier than you think.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ITAdmin:
Ohh Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! What a great response.

What do you think of Faria's WM6 ROM? Would that be a better choice? I have no problem altering original firmware on any kind of device, but I want to be sure the reward is worth the risk. My MAIN goal is to get the A2DP to work on my Pioneer 9800BT Car Stereo. Any benefits above that are icing on the cake.

Let me know what you think about the Faria ROM and I will start reading again on the AKU for the Tornado. It really sucks when you spend a crapload of $$ for a device, and it won't do what you want it to. I really wish all engineers would be required to work in the real world before they start designing stuff! I could tell you some horror stories from my days working on jet aircraft and nuclear power plants!! Ohh Boy!!

Thanks again!!

I can't seem to get this to work--at least, not on the TNT 3.0 Official ROM running on Wizard. Setting UseJointStereo definitely gets rid of the hissing, but the audio is definitely mono. Is there a Wizard ROM ou there that definitely has the A2DP fixes in to allow joint stereo on Wizard?

WM6 A2DPTweaker

EDIT...If you used my program before, please download and run this one. Under certain conditions a value may have been written wrong or not at all.

You can also manually check HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings\default and make sure the value says Value Not Set

I wrote this program to make all the registry changes to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings simple and fast.

UnZip and run from your desktop to install on your device. I can try to upload .cab if anyone wants.

Tested on ppc6700 only

When started all your current settings will be displayed. Write them down if you want to go back to them.

UseJointStereo can be set to 0,1 or 2

Bitpool and MaxSupportedBitPool can be erased with a simple unchecking of their checkboxes or if their boxes are checked the values in the text boxes will be written.

SampleRate is set at 48000 if checked, or erased if unchecked.

Press "Write" when you've made your changes and all settings will be written.

After writing values press "Read Registry" to make sure your entries were made correctly.

Exit program when values are written and reboot.

Works fast, except for reboots of course.

Just installed these settings on my Kaiser (MDAIII uk) using a Plantronics Pulsar 260 and also tested on a Jabra 320s, and the improvement is HUGE!!!! The hissing has disappeared, used the .exe contained in the zip file above.

Also before installing this patch, call volume was very low when making or receiving calls, now it is absolutely fine and callers hear me very clearly on the other end and are surprised that I am speaking on a handsfree!!!

I have an HTC P4350 Herald with WM6 and a Jabra BT620s headset.

Initially it sounded like crap and then I started changing/deleting the values in the registry like everyone suggested.

There is no combination of values that gives me good sound without skipping.

Deleting BitPool and MaxSupportedBitPool or values below 46 = no skipping but higher frequencies and 's' sounds doesn't sound good.

BitPool between 46 and 56 = music sounds good but skipping twice every minute.

BitPool above 56 sounds awesome but it skips a lot.

UseJointStereo = 0/1 and SampleRate doesn't make any major difference.

Pairing works fine as does incoming calls etc.

Overclocking doesn't help. I've tried Audio Manager, Media player and TCPMP.

I have a Jabra BT8010 and it has plagued me constantly with skipping. (Doesn't happen with my BlueAnt X5, but they are too heavy to wear when out walking)

bt3030 a2dp promblem after recieving call

hi guys

i got treo pro with wm6.1, and bt headset bt3030

i deleted maxbitpool, bitpool (joint stereo =1 was already set) as was suggested on previous pages

during listening a music headset works perfect, when i receive a call - and then after call is ended - music is too low (quality also) i think as if bitpool was set = 20

restarting pocket tunes nothing changes, the only way to resume normal quality of music is restarting phone !!! i almost throw my phone by the window !

can anyone help ? any solutions ?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pdaod:
I tried the 48000 SampleRate setting on a Mogul (still running WM6) using a Pulsar 590e headphone. What I found was that while it does reduce some distortion, it does so with a significant hit to the upper mid to high frequency audio response. I made a 2 channel mono frequency sweep .wav file 20hz - 20khz @-20db with 20hz, 50hz, then 100hz steps from 100hz to 1Khz and then 1Khz steps up to 20Khz. I played this using WMP with and without the registry key. Without the SampleRate setting it had good response all the way through. With SampleRate=48000 the tones started to become very aliased at 5khz and were pretty much lost above that with only aliasing remaining. There's very little of anything by the time it gets to 10khz. I attribute this to less than optimal filtering for the sample rate conversion.

If I use the joint stereo, then I get distortion on audio that is mixed to one channel only (common on older recordings). The artifact sounds similar to FM stereo muiltipath distortion. If I don't use joint stereo the audio that is in the center has some distortion. The BitPool settings don't seem to help much. I've tried 48/52. 52/52, and even really high at 82/86. I currently have them set to 58. I've tried using the 590e on my Dell notebook with a Toshiba BT stack and it sounds much better.

I wipe everything excepr ext SDcard, flash rom, flash gapps, run phone, add wifi, add account, skip CM account and when I try to look for some apps on play store, it fails.
