[Q] Is there another app like soundwire, that uses bluetooth?

Hi,
I found out about the soundwire app in an old thread here on XDA; basically soundwire does one thing - it captures the soundcard and streams it to your droid, with fairly low latency. It does a very good job of this and for music and maybe certain types of games it works, but for video any type of lag is simply unacceptable.
My question for the guru's is: Can you somehow connect a pc and an android phone with bluetooth, so that the android streams audio from the PC? Perhaps using this?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile#Advanced_Audio_Distribution_Profile_.28A2DP.29
thanks!

I used soundwire yesterday and it was perfect
Hi I used soundwire yesterday night when I was watching movie.
I found a little trick by which sound will come in sync with video perfectly.
Just try to change audio input in soundwire server in your pc for two or three times. Somehow lag between sound and video will come in sync perfectly.
This method works always.
I watched Hugo yesterday and it was perfect and nobody got disturbed as headphone was connected to my galaxy note.

HDMI audio stuttering (smooth video)

I'm connecting the tablet to my receiver (Denon AVR-1713) using the same cable that I checked with phone (Evo 4G, the only other device I have with HDMI output working) as perfectly working (A/V both play smoothly).
On the tablet, audio stutters (pretty severely) while video plays fine. I tried a few ROMs (KA, CM10.1, and Energy), and all ended up with the same issue. I also have a couple locked TF300Ts lying around, and both stock ICS and JB had the same audio stuttering.
Looking for differences between the phone and the tablet when playing audio, it appears that the PCM/Digital light flickers when playing via tablet (with audio coming through only when the light is on), and when the phone plays, the light stays constantly on.
I tried switching input source on the receiver to PCM (was on auto), still stutters. Switching to DTS results in no sound.
This happens for all audio (calls, notification sounds, music, youtube, etc.).
Any ideas on what's wrong? Using my brother's monitor with speakers, both audio and video play smoothly.

Bump. Anyone?

Bump.

Tried CleanROM yet? It may help.

Can you show us a video of it? That might help some people to understand your problem. I'm using cm10.1 and previously used energy rom and movie seems to be fine.

Nevermind, bought a microHDMI to HDMI cable on ebay, audio works fine now. The refresh rate of the HDMI output is off though (displaying dual overlaying images), but audio plays perfectly.
Weird, because the EVO doesn't have any of the problems this tablet has.
Well, figured out the problem for that as well, apparent this happens when the TV can't display that high of a resolution . Insufficient funds, and still stuck in the dark ages (of TV) :crying:.

HMDI connected Android TV Box

Hi folks,
I´m not quit sure if it is an Android problem or a problem with my box.
When I switch off the TV when the box is connected via HMDI the box goes "off" (switching off sound for example) is there a way or setting to keep it on? So I can switch off TV and keep spotify for example on?

Yes!

Yes! I use my Chromecast in this way. What you need is an HDMI pass through device, like a stereo tuner. I have both a Chromecast and Roku dongle plugged into the HDMI ports on my tuner (it has a total of 4 hdmi ports) . A single HDMI cable then runs from the tuner to the TV. The sound comes out of my stereo speakers, not the tv, and I use the stereo's remote control to switch inputs (the TV itself is never changed from its HDMI1 input). This allows me to listen to the audio without having the TV turned on. Tuners with HDMI pass through can be expensive, but I got lucky and found one, virtually brand new with 4 HDMI inputs, at my local Good Will for $65.

I found a solution which might work. You need to "block" pin 19 from HDMI which reports powersaving / energy modes. I just need to try it at home

Stream (audio) from Smart TV to M8?

I'm curious to find out if it's possible to stream audio from my (networked) Sony Bravia KDL-32W650A to my M8. I'd like to be able to sync the audio so I can use headphones with the phone, so I don't disturb my wife and daughter while watching late at night. Using a direct headphone connection is out of the question, as I have a rather large K9 that likes to roam and trip over any wires running across the floor. Since I already have TV SideView and Smart Remote on my handset to control the TV, it would be nice to be able to stream the audio back to it.
Any suggestions?
On edit: It appears that this should be possible (mirroring) via Miracast, but appears that it may be broken in Sense 6.

What I know, you can send audio and video from android devices to TV, but not from TV to devices.

I'm aware of that, but I want to stream in the other direction (just audio). I know Koush was/is working on integrating this into his AllCast app, but I think it only works with FireTV.

[Completed] Firestick and Audio

I have an old Sanyo TV with 3 HDMI ports. When I installed the Firestick, it worked perfectly, except for the Audio. The instructions say to use Audio 3, but when I switch the audio input cables to Audio 3, the cable tv show that is on sounds through my TV, but I can't hear sound from the videos from Netflix or Hulu. Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks!

Hi !
It may be a Netflix issue , the app isn`t properly working on certain devices
Here is a dedicated section for Fire TV devices
