Anyone know of a way to improve the stereo bluetooth quality? On my old Tilt 2, there was a setting in the registry called "linespeed" and setting it to "320" dramatically improved the sound quality. I am rooted, so is there any similar setting I can play with on the Captivate?
Just to clarify, I don't think the quality is terrible; its certainly better than the quality was on my Tilt 2 BEFORE the linespeed tweak. But, its also not as good as the quality was AFTER the tweak.

Can anyone explain what the registry hack actually impliments with the various settings to improve BT A2DP sound quality in the fit4cat.de hermes tweaker.
Hi! I'm interested in buying the Desire Z, but I'm not familiar with the sound quality on A2DP headphones on Android. On WM there are settings like bitpool in the registry that can change the quality a lot, but as far as I read, there are no such settings on Android and the quality is really bad.
Is it true or is there a way to change some settings to improve quality? This is really important to me and I don't think I would be buying a phone that can't play my music properly.
My htc hero and car stereo utilizes A2DP perfectly, streaming audio to car speakers. Have not noticed any bad quality, not åk expert though

Thank you for your reply, I'm hoping that I will be able to hear it myself sometime soon and see how it sounds.
Btw, have you had any disconnects and things like that?
I tested my jabra BT320s on a desire I have access to and the A2DP was spot on, it used the handsfree function aswell without issue pausing the music then carrying on after the call etc...
Am impressed, this was with stock tmobile UK firmware aswell.
Only personal experience
I have to say that when compared to Nokia N900 the a2dp sound quality doesn't seem to be as good. The music sounds somehow thinner. To make these comparisons I have used the same media files, same nokia bh-214 handsfree and same sennheiser mx550 headphones.
I hope it is possible to somehow tweak the a2dp sound quality since i think it's all a question of a2dp audio quality settings.
It has the be said though that in contrast to nokias bluetooth implementation the android one does handle switching from music to phone calls and back quite flawlessly.

Hey guys, I was wondering if any audiophiles could help me out.
I am looking to purchase a new headunit, my minimum requirements are 6channel 2.5V or greater pre-amps, built in HD-Radio, and A2DP support.
The problem I am seeing with A2DP support is that they all seem to transmit at low sound quality, have hissing, popping, skipping, clipping at low sound levels etc. I read that this is due to the standard codec being SBC, which compresses depending on processing power used. I do not know how the Atrix handles SBC, and would prefer it to directly pass my 320KB/S MP3 codec, which is a capability of A2DP, I just don't know if any manufacturers utilize it yet.
Is this technology not ready for the mainstream yet? I have a lot of 320KBPS MP3's and I would like to be able to listen to them at full volume until my speakers clip, and not suffer actual technical limitations.
I have a Motorola Atrix, as well as the car dock, so the car dock does have an easily accessible 3.5mm jack, but I was really hoping to take advantage of A2DP and maybe use built in hands free calling.
Sorry if this is a dup, tried searching and looked at similar threads, and there were none that had any legitimate answers.
So I've discovered something recently and was wondering if this only affects me. Using the NextRadio app, now that the fm chip has be activated, I've notice that the audio is fuller, louder, and overall much better than what I would get with regular flac files or streaming through Rhapsody. Why is that? Also uhq upscaler doesn't effect the audio and neither does the eq which makes me wonder if the dac and amp in the phone are being held back by software. Can someone also check this out? If you use the NextRadio app you might have to give it a few seconds after choosing a station. I noticed the audio greatly improves after but idk it might just be my phone. I've also noticed that when opening a game the audio changes drastically over fm giving it a lot more bottom end. This is really strange to me, Thanks!
I'm sorely upset with how bad the bluetooth music streaming is with my Hizpo Branded XRC MTCE. I'm to the point where I want to dump it and get something else since the one thing I wanted when I bought it was good music streaming. From all my reading on here, it seems like this is a major issue with all MCTD/MTCE units, is that true? Does anyone actually have a MTCD/E unit that has decent sounding bluetooth audio streaming?
Short answer YES. Long answer, search.
Ive spent hours searching with no definitive answer.

The fyt based units have great a2dp streaming, no issues here. Most common reseller of these is joying.

Are these MTCD/E's? Im not familiar with FYT. What's the best way to identify these?
anyone have a good way of identifying if a unit is MTCD/E or FYT? I want to pick up a bmw e46 specific fyt unit..
I suffered with poor a2dp Bluetooth streaming for quite a while on a GS (xtrons) android 6 headunit and on my current GS android 8 headunit.
Last week I did the sound mod with the modded mcu and improved amplifier app which improved my sound quality dramatically.
I then set about trying to improve the poor a2dp sound yet again and managed to kind of get it near perfect but not quite.
It was down to the sound settings on the EQ on my iPhone. I Bluetooth stream my music from my phone using Apple Music. I went into settings and then music and in there is the EQ setting. This has many settings like rock, pop, etc etc and mine was previously set by me to Bass Booster so my phone was set to a Bass setting and then the headunit is set more to a Bass setting so this must have been too much as I always got a distorted sound in the background when using a2dp. So in the EQ on my Iphone I set it to off. Instantly the sound is 10 times better as now it’s just my headunit producing bass etc etc. This has bugged me for over a year including my old headunit and now compared to what it were like before I’m finally happy with the quality of music through the a2dp app.

very interesting. I just checked my iphone and the EQ was set to 'electronic' I changed it to flat. Lets see how that does.
Did you do the 7thfloor mod? Did that, at all, help the a2dp streaming situation?
the EQ change made no difference. still distortion at the upper frequency range.

No, the mod I have done is the bd375 sound processor mod with the modded GS mcu and new amplifier app.
Once I completed that then I fine tuned the EQ settings to my liking on the headunit. Then on my iPhone I went to settings and music and turned the EQ off. I tried all the EQ settings on my iPhone but nothing was as good as when I set it to OFF.
Now I’ve done this I wouldn’t say the sound is perfect through a2dp Bluetooth but it’s a hell of a lot better than what it were before.
