Everyday when I drive to work I use my phone to stream music to my radio over bluetooth. Now when I tried it with my new Moto G I have problem with sound quality. The sound is somewhat distorted, metal sounding with plenty of compression artifacts. I tried to reconnect the phone, unpair and pair it again. I even tried different players and disabled all equalizer effects without any success. My previous phone Huawei G300 with ICS was plaing music flawlessly. Now when I connected phone to my PC over the bluetooth the sound was just fine. Anybody else experienced this problem? Is there any way to fix it? I searched the web and it seems that many users had smilar issue with A2DP running different versions of Jellybean.
No problems with a2dp here on 2 different receiver devices, so sorry. Running the MG with 4.3
Damn, so it has to be some compatibility issue with my car radio and this phone. Too bad Will try to resolve it somehow. Thanks.
Maybe the Moto G also have a low bitpol (bitrate) value for the SBC codec? When used with a compatible BT receiver that accepts MP3, it will sound fine whereas transcoding a loosy format to SBC at a even lower bitrate will cause audible audio artefacts.
I'm thinking of getting these small 30 pin Apple/iPod dock BT receiver which I suspect may only implement the bare minimum of A2DP : SBC codec, so if the Moto G is plagued by the low bitpol setting then I'll forget this idea lol

hi everybody,
I know before asking smt do your homework......I did try but couldnt.....to hard for me (just kiding).
this is another thread about the a2dp and wireless stereo capabilities but i like to think its apart.
I couldnt find anything about using A2DP Headphones. Just headphones and not headsets.
I have a pair of bluetooth JBL 610, I installed the A2dp patch, I do get the "Wireless Stereo" option, it does pair and thats all. when playing smt in WMP nothing the sound is still on the phone speaker.
anybody tried to use the new A2DP with bluetooth headphones?

Not sure what the "new" A2DP is. I have several A2DP headsets and have had dropouts on five builds on the tornado platform. A couple of builds ago I just stopped trying.
I had tried overclocking but never completely got rid of dropouts, say once every five minutes. It doesn't seem to be CPU related since it happens under no load and watching a CPU meter there doesn't seem to be any utilization correlation.
Am interested if anyone has a different experience.
Does anyone else experience bluetooth audio lag or delay? When my n5 is paired to my car (2010 Mazda 3), my music doesn't play through my speakers until about 3 seconds later. Audio for movies and videos and games are the same way, so they're out of sync. If I run the Audio Router app (forces audio to be played thru mono "headset mode" [not sure if that's what that's called]) then the lag/delay disappears and everything is fine, except that the audio is now playing at the lower headset bitrate and is mono.
So far, my car is the only thing I have to pair my phone with so I don't know if it's the car or the phone. But, I've only experienced this problem on 4.4 roms. 4.2 was fine, no audio lag at all. Every single 4.4 rom I've used has this problem (cm, aokp, pa, slim, pac, and stock).
The only patch I can think of for movies is to find a player that can allow me to offset the audio (like VLC on Windows does), but I haven't found one that supports that.
Any ideas?

It is an issue with the link to your car. I get the same thing between all my Android devices and one particular Bluetooth device, my context is different using Chromecast to see on TV the picture but hear on bluetooth off my handset the audio, I've tried N4, N7 2012, N7 2013, N10. The only fix in my context is HDMI off the N10 (so in N5 it would be Slimport) and bluetooth off the handset.
For your car, does it have a Tape casette player old tech? They used to have an audio-male to casette adaptors, or an audio socket at all, then just male-male cable to the N5?
Hello,
I have a relatively severe issue with the Bluetooth audio quality on my phone. It sounds pretty much exactly like 64kbits MP3, you can especially hear it in the high frequencies. It's somehow distorted and unclear and extremely annoying as it ruins the experience totally. Everyone who heard sound over my Bluetooth devices has heard this.
The weird thing: I experienced this with both my Galaxy S5 (G900F) and my Galaxy S6 (G920F) and every single Bluetooth device that is connected to them. I tried it with my Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter, Denon AVR X1100W, Logitech Boombox and my car stereo Kennwood KDC-BT35U. The audio quality is always the same.
However, with my Nexus 5, my Galaxy Tab S8.4 and my Laptop, the audio quality over Bluetooth is great! Also, if I use the headphone jack on my Galaxys, it sounds just fine. I mostly use Spotify and Google Play Music, but the problem is not there since it sounds great when using a cord.
I asked the Samsung Support about this and of course they didn't know anything. They offered replacing the device but I don't think that this makes a difference since I had the same problem on my Galaxy.
Now I am asking everyone else who has the Galaxy S5 or S6, have you experienced something like this? Any solutions? It is very frustrating.
I just solved this mystery. For a long time I have been using the Mi Fitness Band, and I was wearing it all the time, so whenever that is connected to the phone the audio quality gets very bad. At least I know what it is now!
Same here!
If my Mi Band 2 is paired in the Mi Fit app, the audio quality of ANY connected bluetooth device (aux speaker, car audio etc.) is distorted (especially high sounds)
I reinsatlled the Mi Fit app, even reseted the whole phone, nothing changes. Only if I unpair the Mi Band in the mi fit app, is the bluetooth audio quality ok.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Android 6.0.1
Xiaomi Mi Band 2 firmware V1.0.1.34
Good audio quality at Bluetooth playback
Guys,
I experienced the same when i playback via Bluetooth in my car. Since i installed Poweramp beta, you can choose some different type of audio playback quality. I set mine at 24 bit playback, 192 khz. I can hear some slight difference but i think you can not expect much of it.
Second option might be Viper4android and Dolby Atmos. These will increase earsgasm at your desire.
Give it a try and report feedback!
Here is a screenshot of it.
Poweramp has unbelivable awesome effects, but it does not eliminate the base problem: miband (or any Bluetooth LE stuff?) affects the bluetooth audio transmission.

That is true and sadly a known problem of android in general. See http://www.androidauthority.com/android-wear-ruining-bluetooth-speaker-headset-sound-656300/
Solution
I might have a solution for some of you. Good luck.
Find it in my reddit post. I can't post URL's because i am new here. I only created this account for sharing the solution.
under r/miband, ''POSSIBLE SOLUTION for the BT Audio quality problem when you connect to both Miband + Audio device''
On my S6, when I am connected to the bluetooth device I have in my truck (Himbox HB01 Plus) that has apt-X, if I have both the Call Audio and Media Audio settings within the Bluetooth profile for that device enabled, the sound through the speakers is extremely poor, like a 32-64kbps stream even though using a 192kbps or higher mp3 and a native player. If I turn off the Call Audio setting, instantly the quality improves drastically to what I would expect it to be. I had a friend try with his Samsung Nexus device and he didn't have any such issue with the same bluetooth device. Prior to the Himbox, I had another bluetooth adapter w/o apt-X in the truck that acted the same which is what prompted me to try the Himbox thinking maybe the S6 needed this codec to stream properly. Unfortunately there was no change.
Does anybody have a similar problem or more importantly a fix? Is this a hardware issue with the phone or if I flash a custom ROM could this fix the problem as it has something to do with the Samsung programming? I didn't have any issues with my S4 and from what I gather researching online it is a S6 & S7 issue. Any suggestions are appreciated!
Does such a thing exist? I would like to have wireless headphones and watch shows but normally there is always a lag that bothers me too much to even attempt it. Has bluetooth 5 or even 4.2 fixed this?

Don't use wireless headphones but, boeffla kernel allows direct DAC output, which may allow some improvement.
Else you can pay for MX player pro and adjust audio sync with any downloaded or streamed video mx can link to.
App based streaming, such as ITV player is limited to hardware. Bluetooth will have delay, because audio has to be converted to bluetooth transport with then must be converted back to audio. Plus the transport is slow in comparison to the faster DAC.
