I see there's a lot of very inexpensive and handy USB bluetooth adapters for PCs and such. And that gives me an idea. I've tried searching the Almighty Google for this already, but nobody I've found wants to do exactly what I'm looking for, and I'm wondering if anyone here happens to know how to do what I'm planning.
So, what I want to be able to do is play my phone's audio wirelessly through my computer speakers. I'd mostly use this for watching YouTube in bed while my computer on the other side of the room is playing the audio. Because my computer's speakers are much better than the tiny built-in phone speaker, obviously. A lot of people on the internet want to stream their music from their phone to their computer, but that's not what I'm looking for, as all my the music on my phone came from my computer in the first place. I'd imagine I'd mostly be broadcasting YouTube audio, occasionally NetFlix audio, as well. But no media players, so I'd imagine the simplest thing is to broadcast all of my phone's audio output over bluetooth, to my computer, and through its speakers. Has anyone done this? Is this possible, is this easily doable, can this be done with any basic USB bluetooth receiver, et cetera?
My phone's a Samsung Infuse running Android 4.3, I'm on XP for now, sometime next month I'll on Windows 7 Ultimate.
Thanks!
So my car allows me to connect my phone via bluetooth to the stereo to make phone calls, but does not allow me to connect media audio (Pandora, YouTube, etc), which I believe is called A2DP. There are some aftermarket kits available to wire in a new receiver in place of the CD changer, but then that co-opts the other bluetooth for phone, which I can control via steering wheel and such.
I was wondering if it is at all possible for an app to stream audio output as if it was a phone call? Is anyone aware of an app that does this or some way to possibly hack it?
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.

Hi all.
I wonder if I can stream Bluetooth to Android TV boxes same way as with Bluetooth speaker? I'm looking at Xiaomi MI Box in particular: I have stereo receiver with optical, and want to use it for streaming. I might just buy Chromecast audio, but I have some screends and might use it for video as well.
Pretty much I want chromecast audio with Bluetooth abilities. Can anyone try streaming music from phone to Xiaomi box?
Thanks.
Hello,
Does anyone if it is possible on the Pixel 3a to output audio from different apps to different audio devices? Apparently Samsung has this feature (Separate Audio) but I can't find anything analogous to that for the Pixel. Specifically I would like to route an audio book (Libby) to wired or Bluetooth head phones and Spotify to Android Auto or Car Bluetooth.
Thanks!
