I've serached and searched but have not found a solution... Please help!
A2DP works great when playing mp3 files with WMP. However when playing m4a files the phone switches automatically back to the phone speaker. Once an mp3 file is played again, it will switch back to the BT headset. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Also, is there a plugin for WMP to recognize the id tags of m4a files?
are you using windows media player to play the m4a?
it happened to me back to wm5 time while i was using the windows media player
,it just act like yours.
if you use 3rd party program such as tcpmp. it will play m4a via A2DP just fine. it's a problem of pocket media player.
Yes, I am using WMP. I've used tcpmp but is is pretty cumbersome to select files when you have to many. It does not have the options to select by artist, abum, etc...
Im using HTC s621. Do you know why windows media and pocketplayer play mp3 in MONO when using the headphones? there is not option for stereo sound. TCPMP is ok plays mp3 without problem.
How do you disable the native media player on the Touch Pro 2 so that you can use your Bluetooth headphones controls to play another media player? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
I've never disabled the native HTC media player, I just installed another app (Nitrogen in this case), and I've had no trouble listening to that and controlling it through my BT stereo headphones
Thank you - will try Nitrogen & see it that does the trick.
Hey master, I was actually playing around with Nitrogen some more last night, and I discovered a few things. First....when I hit the "pause" button on my bluetooth headphones, it doesn't actually pause the player (like it does when I use windows media player on the phone), it just interrupts the audio stream going to the headset, the player actually keeps playing. And, for some reason, it also causes the HTC Media tab to pop up.
I'd never realized these behaviors until last night, but I thought they might influence your search for a media player. I know the BT controls on the headphones will directly control all functions in WMP just fine, but that's obviously not the best (and definitely not the "leanest") media player available and I'll be checking out other replacement options for it today too. I'll post back here when I confirm which one(s) work the way we want for the BT controls (aka "AVRCP" profile)
Sirphunkee, That's the issue I have with the HTC media player using Bluetooth. If I press ffwd or rew, the HTC player starts playing over the 3rd-party player (i.e. Core Player, Pocket Music, etc.). I would use the native player - if it had an equalizer (maybe I'm asking for too much, LOL) & WMP is "okay" at best in sound, but is a battery hog. Thanks again & now you know my pain,
Also, for some reason, my playlists don't show in Nitrogen.
Yeah, the reason I didn't realize at first that the HTC media player was kicking in is becasue I don't have any music in it's default folder, it's all on my SD card, so the HTC player pops up but just continuously shows "searching...", so it never started playing anything over the music I already had on.
But yeah, I'm sure there's registry keys somewhere that tell the phone what to do (i.e. calling up the HTC player) whenever AVRCP commands are received...if they can be routed to activate/control the HTC player, they should be able to be redirected to the player of choice.
Keep looking, I'm doing the same (well, whenever my boss isn't walking by lol)
First, the details: I have an HTC EVO phone which I have paired to my factory car radio (Chrysler RHB/430N running the most recent update). The EVO is running CyanogenMod 7, and tested with both release builds and the latest nightlies.
Now the problem: When connected via bluetooth, the phone works fine with uConnect. Playing and controlling MP3s from the default media player works fine as well. I've tested both the stock media player and WinAmp, and when I connect and hit play it will launch the media player and start playing whatever was last played. Selecting new media in the media player will work as expected. In short - A2DP is working fine so long as you are using whatever is selected as the default media player.
The problem is that I don't get audio from any other media sources on my phone. Pandora won't work, Jango, BeyondPod, Voice alerts in Google Maps, or anything else I've tried. I have A2DP speakers and a set of headphones that both work fine from any media source. The only thing that isn't working is my car's radio.
Has anybody run into anything like this?
Hi! Loving my new phone with everyday that passes by. But, I'm having a really weird issue.
I have a music track (Hotel California) in flac (16bit) format on my phone. Although it does play on google music, there is no sound output in either the speaker or the headphone jack. But when I use my bluetooth headphones, it plays flawlessly. Interestingly this is happening to only that one particular track.
I have 90% of my music on the phone in flac and even the 5.1 channel flac files play perfectly. Apart from this one song! (this happens with only google music)
But when I use Neutron Music player, the song plays. But again not with google music. AAAHHH! It's frustrating!!!
P.S. It is happening with some other tracks too. Perhaps hardware decoding?
