[Q] How do I make the sound of a video play over bluetooth - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I am connected to my car stereo with Bluetooth and play a video through Internet Explorer, the sound is coming through my phone's speakers, and not the car stereo.
When I play music, it goes through the car stereo with no issues.
I am using an LG Quantum and I have received the official Mango update. My car stereo is a Pioneer 7000BT.
Is there a setting that will make the sound from video played through IE go through a bluetooth headset?
I have searched all the windows 7 forums and have not found this question.
Things searched for: A2DP Video, Bluetooth video, Sound Video, and probably a few other things.
I thought I had read, a few weeks ago, that this was a problem, but Mango would fix it. No idea where I read that though.

I have found this link which indicates that it is a real problem, but I have not seen a solution anywhere.

stereo bluetooth problem

I've search for over two hours but it seems ive learned alot but i still cant find my problem the problem is that every time i connect to my car kit windows media starts working but then after i turn off my car and then turn it back on the music comes out of phone. So how can i make it play again on my stereo without reconnecting. i have elite rc3 rom and it has a2dp included.
I don't have the same exact problem you do, but I have a stereo bluetooth headset (Jabra BT8010 [awesome headset btw]) and if you don't wait for your bt to connect to your phone first before you fire up WMP OR connect while WMP is playing, it will freak out and do wierd stuff. For me it would either ignore my connection and play out the phone's speaker or play in my headset in mono mode in horrifyingly bad quality.
I hope that helps

bluetooth headset audio output?

I recently purchased a Bluetooth stereo headset to listen to music/podcasts on my Captivate.
Jabra HALO Bluetooth Stereo Headset (sorry can't post links yet, but it is easily found via google search)
It works well except the phone won't always send the audio to the headset. Works fine for phone calls etc. But when I use pandora, acast etc.. the audio sometimes won't go to the headset. It is paired properly etc...
Is there some setting I am missing? i have searched other similar threads, but they seem stale and are for other phones.
The headset works fine with my laptop.
Thanks.

You need to have a froyo rom and get Super BT Mono for Froyo from market. I use the app and can listen to anything from my phone through my cheap bt.

[Q] Audio to non A2DP headset

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is any way to stream audio music and/or FM radio from Windows Phone 7 (I have the HTC HD7) to a non A2DP Bluetooth headset (I have the Jabra EasyGO).
It seems that I can only make and receive calls with it.
I've searched all over the place (and web) and cannot find a way to do that.
The only way is to get a new Bluetooth headset with A2DP capability?
Is there is a workaround, please let me know.
Thanks.
I don't know of one. As far as I know, the Headset profile is mono-channel only (plus another channel for the mic) anyhow, and probably quite low bandwidth, so it would likely sound awful.
Thanks for your answer GoodDayToDie.
But I don't mind for quality... Actually I'm not interested to listen for audio.
I just want, for example, to hear drive directions when I'm driving using navigation software (Navigon) instead of hearing from the loudspeaker.
Hmm... I thought the phone *would* use Headset profile for driving directions. Weird. I find the WP7 implementation to be so bad that I prefer to keep using a 4-year-old Garmin Nuvi instead, but I could have sworn I tested it and it came over the BT (and my car only has Headset, not A2DP). Maybe poke around in Settings?
Alternatively, if your car has Aux In, you could use a ripping cable (double-ended headphone cord, they're very cheap) and then the phone will play instructions over the cable into the car's stereo. This is also a great way to use the phone's music player, including Zune Pass if you have it, to play music in the car (I do this all the time). It uses less battery than having Bluetooth transmitting constantly would anyhow.

Help with Bluetooth (media streaming vs. in call audio)

I use a USB bluetooth dongle with a 3.5 mm headphone jack in my car in order to stream music from my phone. I plug the dongle into the lighter outlet for power and then connect the dongle to the aux jack in the car's stereo. Everything works great when playing any media. However, it won't connect for call audio. If I were to dial a phone number, the sound from the key touches play through the radio, but as soon as the call connects the audio plays through the phone's earpiece. I am not able to get the in call audio to stream through my bluetooth. When I go to the bluetooth settings, I see an option for media audio and nothing for in call audio. If anyone can help me get this fixed, that would be great. Also, I am on CM 10 RC 1, but this did the exact same thing on stock touchwiz.
Bump
I have the same issue on stock. This thread isn't the same as what you're asking, but he does state that he is trying to find a workaround to the same issue.

Thanks for the reply. However, my issue is that once a call connects, the audio goes through the phone's earpiece. I can only stream media (youtube, Pandora, music, etc.) through Bluetooth, but calls won't connect to my Bluetooth setup at all.
I really hope someone has a solution to this.

MotoG keeps switching between Headset and Speakers

Hello, my name is Zineron, more known as Zinnye. I just fixed a MotoG for me, it works normally, except the audio. The phone keeps Switching between Wired Headset and Speakers, I only noticed that after i went to watch some videos at youtube, and the sound kept failing, because of that bug. The thing is: I can still watch videos, listen to music, play games, but only when the headset is connected. If the Headset is not connected, it keeps switching between Speakers and Wired Headset.
I've been searching around the internet a while, and i found a lot of people with the same problem, but with them, the bug only happens when the headset is connected, so they couldn't help me.
My phone is a MotoG, running android 5.0.2(Lollipop), and it's not rooted or anything.
