Upgraded to marshmallow and now Level U pro's don't work properly - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5

When I upgraded my note 5 to marshmallow everything worked great until I went on a road trip and I was listening to music on my level u pro's. Connected to my car, my music works fine but when I switch to my level u pro's and I listen to music, after 30-45 seconds my bluetooth acts up and states bluetooth share has stopped. Bluetooth turns off and turns back on. Only happens during playing music with Google play music. If I watch videos through Facebook or have calls, everything works fine. Even bluetooth in my car works fine. I've tried everything online minus factory reset.

I use Poweramp and it sounds so much better than Googles music player! It has ten band equalizer and even pre-amp and a few other settings and it's so loud and beautifully clear sounding on my system.

I have the U pro's too i hanot issues what so ever

Bluetooth phone works, media doesn't

When I first got my Note, the bluetooth worked perfectly. On my car stereo and my bt headphones. I could take calls and play music. Then, with no updates on anything different, if the phone was enabled, the music wouldn't play. The phone says phone and media connected, but I get no music. If i disable phone then music will start playing.
I then went to the lightning rom, and it's been working again, until a couple days ago, same problem. What gives? Are there bluetooth drivers to replace the one I have?
Phone is Rooted, CWM
nothing?

[Q] Bluetooth audio streaming problem

I've been having an issue with the media audio streaming to Bluetooth on the Blaze, which I did not have on my previous phone (Optimus). I pair with a Soundfly View in my car, and use the app BeyondPod to listed to podcasts. On a "fresh" Blaze, the audio will begin to play/stream for a split second, and then stop (though the podcast will continue to "play" or advance on the phone). I can occasionally get it to do it again by clicking play, but never for more than that split second.
Through experimenting, I noticed that phone audio seems to be fine, as well as audio on the Music player. What I've found, consistently, when this happens, if I start the Music player, start playing some audio then pause it, then go back to BeyondPod, it streams fine. At least for a time, though I've yet to figure out exactly what "resets" this workaround. But when I'm unable to play, I have to redo this Music player trick to play the podcasts.
Any clue what is going on here, and any permanent fix?
Bluetooth streaming... I have been doing this for a few years using a slightly different method that I'll share here in hopes it might help. I know this is kinda unrelated to your app, but this might be a fix.
Connect any bluetooth headset (I use my PS3 headset)
Download an app called BTmono (its free and a very simple interface, on/off)
Press the on button
Now any sound you would of heard out of your phone speaker you hear on your headset. This lets you listen to music, audio books, videos, or whatever on your headset. When you are tired of it, make sure to press the off button on BTmono to go back to normal. Hopefully this will help or at least provide a temp fix for now. My boss just thinks I like to wear mine all the time, he has no clue I am jamming dubstep and listening to audio books all night
Well, even should that work, it's really the same solution...using another app to force the streaming which should be happening automatically if you're connected with the right BT profile.
I did forget to mention that I do use A2DP volume, which launches an app (BeyondPod) and adjusts the volume when BT is connected. I also used it on my old phone, so I doubt it's related, but...
Nobody else has any problems with Bluetooth from other apps? It's just me???

All Media Except Pandora Play Through Bluetooth

Running Codename Android
I set up my phone to play through a Bluetooth stereo dock and at first BeyondPod wasn't playing through it but Google Play music was. BeyondPod Started playing through the speakerphone instead. When I realized Play Music was working I opened up Pandora and it also played through the Bluetooth.... until the first song ended and it switched over to the speaker phone. Oddly enough, BeyondPod then started playing through bluetooth. I rebooted the phone and now Pandora is permanently playing through speaker phone only. I downloaded and used BT mono, which caused Pandora to play through Bluetooth with a 15 second delay, but when I shut it off it played through Bluetooth perfectly! I rebooted my phone and it is back to speaker phone only. Now BT mono does not affect it at all.
Summary of what I have tried:
Two separate Bluetooth devices, same behavior
BT mono app, worked at first (crappily) but now has no effect.
Multiple reboots, cleared data and reinstalled Pandora, no effect.
Unchecked and recheck BT setting in Pandora, no effect.
The Bluetooth devices are set to "media" in the bluetooth setting, and one of them was set to "media" and "Phone"
Is this a ROM issue? I love this rom... Any other ideas? I don't think it is a problem with the bluetooth devices considering every other app works fine.
Ok so to add to the mystery, I just tried Double Twist, and it did exactly what pandora did. It played the first song through Bluetooth, and when it cycled to the next track it went to speaker phone. Now I can't get Double Twist back to Bluetooth.
IF anyone is following this, I have found that if I enable BT Mono, the sound stops playing from the speaker, and when I disable BT mono it start playing through Bluetooth.
So just a toggle on and off and it randomly works, sometimes it does nothing though. It's incredibly inconsistent.
Could this be a kernel issue?
Appears to be a general CM10 issue. Sorry.
Not sure what the issue is but I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with the same issues. I'm trying to find a fix but nobody knows what is going on. I saw on other forums someone referencing the AVRCP version with new builds. Not sure if this is it or not. But I have a 2011 Toyota Camry it will not pair with for Pandora, YouTube, etc... Google Music works but that's it. And I can replicate your issue. If music is playing, I can hear notifications but if it isn't I don't hear anything.
Not sure if this will work for you but it worked for my HTC One and 2011 Sienna:
Launch pandora
Launch Google Play Music
Under Manage apps, select Google Play Music and stop it.
Sometimes Pandora starts streaming at this point.
If not, select Pandora from Running and stop everything under it.
Restart Pandora and it should stream now.

Streaming via Bluetooth

Has anyone successfully managed to get the phone to stream music via Bluetooth. I've tried my sound bar, Moto S11's, cars, trucks, SUVs with no luck. I can take calls on all, but no music via bluetooth streaming.
Do it everyday, with both my car stereo for calls and music and also in house with small bt speaker in my kitchen.
Never had an issue with connection once

I do it everyday as well. Listen to music and podcasts over LG Tone+, and it works in my car with Ford Sync too. The volume is jacked when using it with a stereo headset but that's another issue.

Used it in my car several times. Under the Bluetooth settings for the device your connected to, make sure its checked to use a media device.
Do this everyday as well. I connect to my Mazda 3's stereo as well as Bluetooth speakers at home without a single hitch.
Connecting is not the problem. Phone connects fine. All my cars recognize the connection because I can make calls from my cars. I get my calls too. I just can't stream music to my head units. Works fine with my HTC One call and streaming. Just can't get the streaming to work.
I have a budget JVC head unit for my car, and it always drops the signal. (Has done it with the One, GNex, iPhone...)
While the phone is "connected" toggle the source on the Bluetooth receiver, meaning - switch it to AUX, then leave it for a couple seconds, switch it back to Bluetooth and see if that helps. Also when there is music playing, crank up the volume on the phone (volume rocker) because there is a separate volume level for Bluetooth sound versus ringtone volume.
Hope this helps in some way

Ahhhh, your car may not support the media profile, just phone.

Nope. They all support it. My HTC One streams music no problem. I've resetted the phone multiple times and now my Bluetooth file exchange is not working. I'm going to have to RMA it. Which sucks.

In the Bluetooth settings for your car, so you have the box ticked for streaming music? There are two boxes for mine in the seeing profile for my car ... handle voice calls and music stream.
I have switched off voice calls for my Bluetooth speaker in house using the profile settings for that device

**Resolved** Vehicle Bluetooth music and navigation issue

****Update : I ended up doing a fresh COS 13.1.2 install and it resolved the problem. Still no idea what caused it in the first place, but it seems to be a software issue rather than a hardware issue.*****
I have a stock OPO on the latest 13.1.2 Cyanogen build and OTA updates. I use it to stream music via Bluetooth from Google Play in my Ford F150 with Microsoft Sync. I do a lot of deliveries in the truck, so I use Google Maps/Navigation quite a bit, playing the navigation directions over the truck stereo speakers. The two have always worked well together, with the music dropping to a low volume level when the voice from Maps announces the next navigation point. Then the music goes back to the original volume.
About a month or so ago, I noticed that I wasn’t hearing the the driving directions anymore. The streaming music would drop the volume, but there was no voice announcement playing over it. And then it would go back to normal music volume. It is like it is trying to play the voice, but I’m hearing nothing.
The Ford stereo has a pause button that will stop the streaming music from playing, and when I press it I can then hear the driving directions again. But press the button again to start the music, and the voice is gone.
If I play the music and navigation over the phone’s speakers it works fine. If I get a phone call in the car I hear the navigation voice and my phone conversation over the car’s speakers at the same time.
I’ve tried Waze instead of Google Maps and it does the same thing. I’ve re-installed all the suspect apps to no avail.
I have no idea if there was a firmware/software/app update that happened around the time this behavior started. I already checked the settings in Google Maps to play voice over Bluetooth and during phone calls. Anyone have any insights? Thanks!
