Mac A2DP as an input? - General Topics

Hey, I'm not stranger to A2DP (Bluetooth Stereo) but I was wondering, the Mac supports A2DP output (to my headphones for example) but will it take it as an input?
I mean, when I pair my Pocket PC and my Mac, my phone only picks up Serial Port and Active Sync, but I imagine it's just because the bluetooth device is not showing it as a potential protocol.
Does anyone know of anyway I could achieve some form of A2DP input?

If our windows mobile device provides the bluetooth headset service you can connect to it as such, it'll show up in the device menu under the bluetooth menu bar icon.

How do I route (phone) audio to computer via BT?

Hi guys,
I have an XDA ATOM and a BT dongle using Bluesoleil.
I've paired them both up and I am able to use the computer as a "Wireless Stereo" - thus rerouting music/sounds to be played via the computer speakers. Now I can play mp3's and other audio from my PDA direct on my computer speakers.
This is great, but not exactly what I hoped for. I was hoping to route the phone audio instead ("Wireless Headset"). That is, routing the audio that I hear when I'm in a phone call. I've configured the Bluesoleil application to have the "Wireless Headset" service enabled, along with all the other services.
The weird thing is, my Atom only shows up "Serial Port" and "Wireless Stereo" when paired with my computer.
Any ideas on how I could get it working?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
You need to set yr Atom as Handsfree in yr Bluesoliel BT Software....

Hi,
Thanks for replying.
How exactly do I do that? I dont get any options which I can change when I'm pairing up the ATOM with my computer. It pairs up as a "Device name" and then BlueSoleil picks up all the services the ATOM is compatible with, ie. DUN/File Transfer. It doesnt seem like its possible to specify the ATOM to be a handsfree device in BlueSoleil itself.
look for the services after the device discovery..there are options for BT Audio..
I'm able to connect to my computer and use the Audio Gateway (in the headset mode) (computer is being used as the headset)
I can enable the handsfree when in a call. I'm able to see the number of the caller on my computer when the phone rings. I can answer the call from my computer.
Problem is I can't hear a thing.
I have switched the audio mixers between Realtek AC97 Audio (my soundcard), Bluetooth Audio and Bluetooth High Quality Audio and I still can't hear a thing. Is there a way to map my BT dongle's audio gateway output to my soundcard?
BUMP.... anybody?
The BlueSoliel software is notoriously crap, it's why it's used on all the cheap dongles, because they charge so much less for their licenses.
This should work fine with the Widcomm bluetooth stack on your PC, I have done this before as it was nice to use my PC's headset while I was gaming to take calls also.
Haven't tried it in a couple of years though, but it definately worked with Widcomm.
if i were to get a bluetooth dongle i would buy one directly from broadcom
(who makes the widcomm software)
because even if other makers also license the software
broadcom release firmware to match the later versions of widcomm
if other dongle makers dont newer versions of widocmm dont work or dont work very well with the software
Well that's the thing... with Blue Soliel I would expect this kind of a problem, but I have a dongle which uses the Widcomm Stack. I've tried everythign possible and yet no sound. I even tried it with another laptop which was using a Blue Soliel donle... tried doing it both ways... ie accessing sound on both ends... but nothing.

Odd Concept- Using a phone as a BT headest for a computer.. With a wired headset.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. I lost my BT headset I used for online gaming, yet I have a perfectly fine Fuze that works well with my Plantronics headset that I use for my xbox.
Is it possible to use the fuze as a rx/tx passthrough unit for a wired headset?
Basically:
Wired headset > Fuze with Bluetooth turned on > Fuze synched to computer with bluetooth > Chatting with wired headset through the Fuze's bluetooth in online games.
Not odd at all
I would also love thing like this
I think if the bluetooth software on the computer
support audio gateway
and the x1 show up as supporting audio gateway bluetooth profile
when one bound it
then one can pick the x1 as soundcard to be used
in audio settings in control panel in pc windows
and it should work
Well I am using Bluesoleil on my laptop with Bluetooth v1.2 which actually connects well even to my A2DP dongle with full stereo sound even if it is not v2. But when I browse the services of my Raphael, the comp shows only Dial-Up Networking, Object Push and PAN... no Advanced Audio or Headset. Maybe I would need to configure the raphael somehow?

After doing some research, it would definitely have to be added in by way of some third party app. There are only two or three phones out there that support this. Essentially, a deal was made to where phone manufactures wouldn't include the Advanced Audio or Headset profile in their phones.
I don't see why someone couldn't make a program for this though.
I have been looking to do this with other HTCs for more than a year.
So far I can only say it's not possible as it's not supported by the WM BT stack.

How to find out what Bluetooth device is connected

Hi,
I have an Orbit 2 and some Gear4 BT headphones - these don't connect automatically as a wireless stereo device (other ones I've tried do) - no matter - I've knocked up a MortScript to automate the connection process.
I now have a new Bluetooth car kit, which supports audio streaming to my stereo (Blaupunkt - very nice). It also fails to autoconnect. So now I need to modify my script to deal with 2 devices.
Does anyone know where in the registry I can find out the device ID or name of the currently connected BT handsfree device? (the handsfree portion auto connects for both). Then I can use this info to force the stereo streaming connection for the desired device.
Thanks in advance,
James

How to make WiMo my laptop headset?

Hy All, I'm looking for a driver or bluetooth application that helps me make my Windows Mobile my headset from laptop speakers.
I know that is possible to use Stereo Headset from WiMo to stream audio over bluetooth from WiMo to laptop. But what I'm looking is the reverse.
Anyone knows how to find it?
Please, don't tell me to buy a bluetooth headset (because I have 3). It's a enterprise project that I'm working on and the headset needs to be the WiMo device.
Regards,
it's up to the bluetooth stack on the pc if it shows the pda as a audio gateway you can
if it don't you have to get another bluetooth stack which does may require another bluetooth dongle if the one you have don't support the bluetooth stacks which support the audio gateway profile

That's is the problem. How can I configure my bluetooth application on the PC to recognize the PDA as a Headset so I can configure later as a default speaker of my computer?
Any clues? I'm using the defaul driver and bluetooth program of Windows 7.

bluetooth microphone for pc

i've got most everything working over bluetooth
been able to make file transfers, import contacts and sms via bluetooth
but i set out on this project in hopes to have a working microphone for my pc using the phone and/or earbud/mic with oem htc adapter
i do not own a bluetooth headset and my pc is across the room...so figured this is worth a shot
first
my setup:
sprint touch pro on ppcgeeks clean bazzle rom (fairly recent build)
IVT Bluesoleil 6.4.249.0 (PC bt app)
HK-730 usb dongle (pc) (it is bt 2.0 +EDR and yes a2dp capable)
The IVT software seems to function and i am shown via right click the ability to mute advance audio, which is semi working (all i get is static).
The bluetooth sco audio microphone shows in my pc audio recording devices, but when unmuted by IVT all i get is clicks and static
It somewhat responds to my voice...i mean the sound meter grows somewhat correspondingly...
but nothing is coming through...besides strange click sounds and static.
i'm so close i can taste it...
my first thoughts were the sample rate and bitdepth
the pc speaker outputs are selectable...but nothing near the mic recording rate
i may be up the creek as my pc has an inferior realtek audio alc662.
My other thought was some kind of setting on the phone.
Hands free,stereo audio, & com connections are all selected in the bluetooth settings for the connection to my pc.
i figured it was worth a post on the forums for some possible solution
first I would read the info about how to get a normal bluetooth headset working as mic on a pc
http://www.google.com/search?source...set+as+mic+for+pc&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=
could very easy just be
1. your pc's bluetooth stack don't support that bluetooth profile
2. your fuse don't support that bluetooth profiles
