I have a Sony Soundbar connected to my TV. I can remote control the soundbar using the Music Center app.
The problem is this: the app only connects over Bluetooth, which means if I have to remote control the soundbar, my phone's audio also starts playing on the soundbar.
Is there a way to use the app over Bluetooth without playing my phone audio on the soundbar?

I am not familiar with that app, but I don't believe the fact that the Soundbar is controlled by Bluetooth also means it must play your phone audio at the same time... it COULD, but I would think the audio source is likely controlled through the Soundbar. Also, you can generally control what phone audio is output by Bluetooth in the phone main Bluetooth settings for the device (the Sondbar).

The app can control the soundbar only if it is connected to my phone over Bluetooth. Because it is a speaker, the audio output gets automatically changed from phone to the soundbar. If I disable the audio under Bluetooth settings, then the soundbar gets automatically disconnected.

Your Bluetooth seems to be doing two things, controlling the Soundbar through the app AND sending your phone audio to the Soundbar. I am not familiar with the app or the Sony Soundbar, but it seems to me that you should certainly be able to control the Soundbar by Bluetooth without Bluetooth also sending your phone audio to the Soundbar (unless you wanted that). I think there must be a setting somewhere for this, but maybe someone else is more familiar with your setup.

I want to use Spype on my G Tablet - bought myself a bluetooth headset. I can connect no problem (can even toggle it on and off with the home screen button application) it beeps indicating the connection.
But when I do calls I doesn't use the mic and speaker of the headset. Matter of fact it seems like it messed up with my audio setting because my built-in speakers don't seem to work anymore.
Any thoughts?
Sometimes I have the same issue. If you want speakers back, try disconnecting from the Bluetooth device. If that doesn't fix it, just reboot. I just posted another comment about the impossibility to use a bluetooth headset, not just for output, but for audio input also. I guess this is because there's no HSP or HFP bluetooth profiles implemented on the g tablet, just a2dp, which is why it just can stream audio to an output device, like a bluetooth stereo headset or car audio. BTW, I discovered this when trying to achieve exactly what you tried to do, making calls using Skype.
Hello,
I have a car which supports only Bluetooth Phone option and this is the case of a lot of bluetooth car devices.
So I'm perfectly able to receive and send phone call but I cannot send music to the car speakers through Bluetooth (this is really due to bluetooth car device and not phone itself).
I'm wondering if it might be possible to emulate phone dialog in order to let the car thought it is receiving a phone communication and so play it.
Phone Music --> Phone call emulation in Bluetooth (caller voice normally transmitted is replaced by music played) ....> Car bluetooth phone call reception --> Speakers
It should be probably needed too to emulate car bluetooth receiver as a bluetooth sound player (in order to cheat android phone) .
Thanks to share your opinion / ideas.

Music is usually routed to Media channel on the phone. Maybe avoiding that could be the solution. Figure out a way to route the audio to the Ringer for example. That might work.

So here's the situation. When my phone connects to my car's bluetooth, it routes all sounds to the car. That's the desired result when talking about Navigation or Music...but here's my problem.
If I change the source of my stereo or I turn it off, the phone is still trying to push audio to the car so I don't hear any notifications.
Is there an app (I am rooted on stock 4.4.2) that would allow me to force normal notifications to always come from the phone..or maybe a per-app setup where nothing went to BT audio unless I set it to do so?
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?
Is there a way to make the Bluetooth Audio Delay setting a negative number. When I manually synchronize audio (in the car attached to bluetooth), I have to use negative numbers (e.g. -1.25 s). I would like to be able to set a similar value in the Bluetooth Audio Delay setting so this would be automatic when I connect in my car.
Thanks

For me it accepts negative values without any issue. But, I don't have a Bluetooth device to test.

Mine works fine, as I need to go -.50 for my POS Bluetooth audio in my car. I use BT headsets and earpieces, too, but I don't have any delays with them.
