I installed the widcomm drivers for my bt usb stick on my pc... and i see i got a new soundcard listed ... and its called "bluetooth audio". now i was wondering, if i could setup my magician to be a speaker for that soundcard... over bt though. then i could change the songs in winamp and stream them over air to my magician connected to my hi-fi in the other room.
i know i could draw a wire to that hifi but lets say i just want it this way
I really dont like doing replys like this but ......
wouldnt it just be easier/quicker to try it ?
i did try it and it doesnt work
i meant what should i do on ppc / pc to make it work?

first off, major props to the xda community, you guys are the best!
now for an interesting problem/project:
It's been a month since I've purchased my Motorola S9 bluetooth headphones http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/product/details.jsp?globalObjectId=177 and have been amazed by what I can do when combine the S9 with my HTC touch and cyberon's voice dialer which is a voice activation program
I use it to:
listen to stereo music
launch programs
stereo music remote control
speed dial
raise and lower volume
teach iphone users the meaning of envy
just being able to do that with with the a2dp remote and microphone of the s9 makes it feel like it's 2030 where people are wired to computers and technology is transparent and everywhere. The s9 feels like sci fi technology... almost. the s9+htc touch is a great no hassle way of getting the information you want pumped into your ears
so as a tech enthusiast I've asked myself,
why the hell can't my computer do this?? i mean, it's 2008 and I'm still using a keyboard and mouse for everything?
I'm trying to make the S9's work on my mac book pro running windows xp+bootcamp drivers but windows doesn't even support a2dp much less handsfree wireless mic profile
i've an online tutorial by katy hxxp: www.djkaty.com/drupal/vista/bluetootha2dp but installing broadcomm's bluetooth stack gives me an error telling me that there is no bluetooth radio device detected which is total bull as i've been able to send files to my HTC touch via bluetooth. I've also tried installing another bluetooth replacement stack called bluesoleil; with no luck
I've also am about to start trying adding widcomm using this guide (http://www.dev-toast.com/2007/01/05/uncrippling-bluetooth-in-vista-rtm)
but in the guide said a2dp doesn't work with widcomm
anyways how do i make bluetooth a2dp work and my s9's mic to work via bluetooth on pc? is my ultimate question
also, if you could recomend a voice activation program that works as well as cyberon's voice dialer I'm looking for the type of functionality where I can press the voice button issue a command and then good stuff happens I bet lots of other people thought of doing the same thing like this
could you please help?
A step by step guide would be aprechiated
update: I've been able to install widcomm drivers version 5.1 and everything works... except the a2dp UGH!

BlueSoleil, with some external BT dongles, does support A2DP. It's just that the BT dongle itself must support it in hardware.
That is, shop for an external BT dongle if you do need A2DP.

thanx but i'm trying to get my internal laptop's bluetooth to use it I've heard good reports that i'm just using the wrong version of widcomm drivers.... time to reinstall everything...again
besides who wants to carry around a laptop with a dongle flopping around? i'll try to avoid the dongle solution if i can
A2DP and bluetooth stack
Having same issues here. My goal is using BOTH A2dp and Blackberry wireless sync via bluetooth (just a serial port).
I find it impossible as Blackberry will only work with native xp drivers and A2DP is not supported in xp.
Currently i gave up wireless sync and am using A2DP with Bluesoleil, which works fine for me.
Anyone ever tried using A2DP WITHOUT switching to a different bluetooth stack?
I have bluetooth enabled handsfree in my car. Whenever I make a phone call the sound is routed through the car speakers and there's a microphone in my car...
My question is: is there a way to route music from my ppc to my car? I tried a lot of softwares (VJ Volubilis, BlueTooth Audio...) I think its routing to my car (on the ppc it says that its routed and I stop hearing the music), but nothing comes out of my car speakers...
(calling works fine)
any solutions, or is it a hardware thing thats missing in my car?
Thanks!!!!
Not sure if this will work but it is worth a shot (I'll try it myself later on)

Hey nir,
I went to the site and register but the program seems to be out of the beta 4 stage (it says it expired in October). Is yours still working? If it is, can you post the cab? Thanks.
oh.. maybe it's working because it was already installed on my device for a while.
mine works fine.. it's the same cab on the website.
thanks everyone!!
Well I tried them all and it seems its always the same problem... it connects to my car and the sound disappears from my ppc, but nothing comes out from my car.. on BTmusic it gives:
Status: enabled
Headset: connected
A2DP: off
And I tried everything to turn A2DP on.. but it always stays off (menu -> A2DP) , is that the problem?
I feel that my car recognizes only when a phone call comes in, but fro some reason is not transmitting the music from my ppc.
I have a 2006 BMW 525xi with idrive, my ppc is a tmobile wing, and i tried both s2p and the default music player.
In your bluetooth Partnership settings - Click Start, Settings, Connections, Bluetooth and and click on your car's bluetooth, Does it show both Wireless Stereo and Handsfree (are both boxes checked) if not make sure that Wireless stereo is checked) should work if it is. If you do not see wireless stereo and only handsfree - then you will not be able to stream music because your car's bluetooth is not able to stream the music, only calls. My new car's UConnect Bluetooth does not support wireless music streaming, only calls. But in my other car I have the Motorola T505 which can stream both Calls, (handsfree) and Music (Wireless stereo). In partnership settings I see only Handsfree and serial port for Uconnect and my Motorola shows both Handsfree and Wireless stereo. You may be out of luck trying to transmit music if you do not see Wireless stereo in the partnership settings (your car's bluetooth may not support it. If you see the (Wireless Stereo in partnership settings but it is not checked, then check it off and start enjoying wireless bluetooth music streaming.
thanks ...
that's what i thought also.. no i dont have wireless stereo option, i only have the handsfree...
I will ask this knowing that most likely the answer is "no":
anyway to fool the bluetooth to stream music through handsfree?

There might be a way, but I don't know how to myself. I don't know if the sound quality would be any good - Mono Vs. Stereo Sound Plus pitch no Base etc.. If so, you will probably want to explore other Options - MOTO T505 I use is great - If you have AUX jack - you can use that - There are other bluetooth devices as well capable. Good luck. If I see or hear anything else I will reply back to this tread or PM you
i've tried BTMusic 1 beta but when i try to start the program it says that i need .NET CF, but i do have NET CF 3.5 ! is that a rom issue or i need an earlier version of NET CF ? Somebody else with the same problem ?

It is a newer verson - Google it and download and install on your device. You probably only have version 2.0. It is easily found in this XDA site - Various Links - and on microsoft's web site

Hey guys, Is there any type of app out there that lets your phone act as a Bluetooth headset??? I mean by use the phone for my PS3 As a Mic. Is that possible????? Please let me know!! THANKS! Im on Windows Mobile.. On a Kaiser.
I would love a similar application for few reasons:
. No other headset to charge, pretty cool i must admit
. you can use a normal 3.5mm jack, 4-pin mic you usually get with some mobile phones to have working ps3 BT headset
. . you could use normal headphones for listening to video/audio on pc or PS3 without a cord going to the computer/ps3 [but no mic on ps3 during lan play]
. for those wanting a bluetooth throat microphone made from scratch, you don't need to hack a a2dp bluetooth handsfree kit, just to make a 3.5" 4-ping plug + adapter [or your phone plug]
You can actually achieve more or less similar with an a2dp bluetooth small handsfree kit... I actually wrote a piece on what i want to achieve here [throat microphone, talking about bone conduction a bit]:
http://www.dealextreme.com/forums/Forums.dx/Forum.-206~threadid.209744
In the end, you need an hacked rom to overcome the bluetooth stack limitation of some handsets if any, and a program that act as handset server profile.
BlueputDroid would be the best contender for this jobs, as it allready pose as bluetooth server profile... [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940511&page=21]
That's what I need

Did you find any solution?
Bump. This would be awesome!
this would be amazing
I really need something like this now!
any solution found?
I heard its simple to make your own app for this... if only I had the knowledge of an app developer.
I am too cheap to buy a bluetooth headset. So,
"Is it even possible to stream audio from a laptop or any other music source to winmo phone over bluetooth or wifi, so that I can use my current kickass wired mobile headphones"
Ive been trying to get something similiar to work myself, any progress from other members would do well posted here lol
~Dark
Did you get any progress with this? I would like to play my laptop (Ubuntu) music on my phone whilst I go into the kitchen (for example) and I can't be bothered taking me laptop down. If not, I may have to find some wifi solution (though I'm not being too optimistic).
Yes it can work - but - you need a A2DP source that can transmit to the phone...
There is a product that nokia do that I have which is a A2DP gateway box which can either act as a receiver or transmitter to an A2DP phone - but I am not sure what protocols it needs to work... I assume, but dont know, that it works with general A2DP because it will receive from my S710 & Touch Diamond phones - although I have tried the transmit part of it yet the documentation clearly states it will transmit...
the device has phono stereo input & output ports which can be rigged through to whatever sound source you have in mind...
As I say though I havent personally tested the A2DP transmission facility but I very much doubt Nokia would say it worked if it didnt...
Hope that helps...
Well, if I already have an A2DP source, how would I go about getting the phone to recieve it?
news about it please?
I was about to start a new thread for this lol
I want to stream music from my macbook to my phone, and hook up my phone to my home stereo. That way i dont have to waste money on a a2dp receiver when my phone has the capability.
Is there an app for that?
hi
i have a nexus s and a volvo c30 with the multimedia package which has a usb port. With my iphone, I could just plug in the iphone in the usb and i could navigate trough the music and listen to it on my iphone trough the car's stereo.
If i put in the nexus nothing happens, it keeps trying to read the disk.
if i put on usb storage mode, it says after a while that it can't read the disk.
is there any way i can make this work or is it just not possible?
I would check out the manual or Google it. I bet the Volvo stereo only supports FAT16 or FAT32 format (i.e. USB flash thumb drive). Just a guess. Hope it works out...
Also, does it support Bluetooth? If so, see if the stereo can accept audio over bluetooth. I've got a 5-6yr old Alpine head unit that can do it, so I'm betting there's a good chance yours can.
The manual says it indeed only supports usb2 and fat partitions...
Is there any way this can be done on the nexus?
I have bluetooth, but there is no mension about being able to play music over bluetooth, phone does work and addressbook syncs, so bluetooth works as it should
I'm honestly not sure about the formatting issue. I would assume that repartitioning the phone would be a tough job to do without messing something up.
As for Bluetooth, I don't really have any experience with audio-via-BT, but I would try atleast pairing it to the car to see if you can play around with it. Go to Settings > Wireless and Networks > Bluetooth Settings. Enable Bluetooth and turn Discoverable on. Then try using your car to pair with it, or vice versa. If you manage to get it connected, I don't really know what the next step would be, since I've never had a stereo that supported it without paying $200 for an adapter.
I would just play around with the bluetooth stuff and see if you can get it running. Since I'm not familiar with Volvo car stereo systems, I don't know if it really supports playback, or just phone calls. See if there's an input in the menu (ie CD, FM, AM, AUX, etc) called BT Audio, or something like that. 3rd party head units typically have this input if they support it, similar to the AUX input option. I'll see if I can find a generic guide for it in the meantime.
What year is your C30?
Good luck
So it looks like your car does NOT support the audio via Bluetooth protocol, known as A2DP. I found a great resource for your car that you should check out, called C30 World. From there I found a thread on this, where people say it doesn't support it, and that your best bet is to use the aux input jack in the center console. Unfortunately, it also looks like that jack is disabled if you have the Bluetooth package installed.
My advice is for you to post on the C30 World forums and ask for some help. I'm sure there's some very knowledgeable people over there that can help you.
thanks man
I think I will just put a usb splitter in there and use a thumb drive in the usb with my music and use the phone as a phone on bluetooth and still have the option to charge my phone
Try using the BT adapter that I use. Been using viseeousa 2000 plugged to my USB port. Flawlessly stream music wireless. Plug and play device and works with android for bluetooth streaming.
