A week or so again I tried hooking up my A2DP bluetooth speaker with my S4, running a 4.2.2 ROM. This bluetooth speaker works great with iphones, my HP Touchpad running CM, and my Galaxy Nexus running 4.1.2. I tried it also with a friend's Note 2, running 4.1.2, and it works fine for him too.
The speaker is this one: http://www.amazon.com/Spracht-Portable-Wireless-Bluetooth-Connectivity/dp/B0023B1364
Though I've owned my S4 for 6 months, it may have been the first time I tried pairing it. It paired fine. However, any music streaming attempts fail horribly. It spurts out a few seconds of sound, then goes silent. Intermittently a few more seconds of sound may pop through. If I hit some of the buttons on the speaker (stereo widening, bass boost), a few more seconds pop through, and then nothing.
This is a bit different than some of the other complaints with 'poor quality' streaming. In this case, it doesn't truly stream much. I reverted back to complete stock and had the same problem.
I remember hearing that with 4.2, there were widespread reports of poor a2dp quality, supposedly fixed with the next version (4.2.1? I forget).
Thinking something might be wrong with the bluetooth on my phone specifically, I obtained warranty service and obtained another brand-new/refurbished S4. Right out of the box same problem. This new phone was also on 4.2.2, stock.
I simultaneously obtained a bluetooth adapter for my car, which is also apt-x capable, and it works great. Maybe the apt-x protocol supersedes the a2dp, I don't know.
Anyone else with an older a2dp (only) bluetooth speaker/headset with similar issues, running 4.2.2?
Hello, i have a question for you!
I bought the Samsung Galaxy Universal Multimedia Dock (www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-D200BEGSTA)
which is designed to work with most of the Galaxy family, including our Gnex. Now, everything works well but when you try to connect a 3.5mm Jack to the Line Out, speakers won't reproduce music. I mean, the gnex's speaker keeps working, while it should switch to the external output.
I've read somewhere that the feature that adds Music Stream via USB (which should be named DAC or something like this) has been added since Jelly Bean. But on my stock 4.3 Gnex it is still not working.
Now my question is: is there a ROM or a Kernel that makes our Gnex able to reproduce audio with the Line Out while on dock?
(also, when you go to settings->sound->dock, audio is grayed out and can't access.)
Carbon Rom

is it included in the rom or it's a part of his kernel?
Just got myself a Galaxy Note 8.0 (WIFI) for about 2 weeks. Everything was working well until I need to watch a movie on the plane. Then realized I got no audio on the earphones. The earphones used is not the ones that comes with the Note 8.0. It was the ones from my Note 2.
But I don't think the problem lies with the earphones. Anyway I tried again with an external speakers. Again no audio.
The audio out on the built-in speakers are good.
I am using the default video player. And Android 4.2.2. Upgraded when I first booted up the machine.
Tried going through the system sound settings and software (video player) settings. But nothing works.
And when I plug in the earphones or speakers, the message "something" connected is shown in the status bar.
So is it because the input jack is not working or something else? Hate to bring it back to the service center cos it will be one month later when I get back to Singapore. Now I am in China.
Any help will be much appreciated.
When my Tab S 10.5 was running Kit Kat, it worked perfectly with my hifimediy Sabre dac. I was very excited when I auto-updated to Lollipop, which did seem to help battery life, speed, etc. It's just that the Dac stopped working. It clearly recognizes the device. Sounds even come out of it, it's just badly distorted and starts and stops.
Is this a lollipop problem or do Ihave to see if hifimediy will write a driver for lollipop? Is there any way to solve it other than going back to kitkat?

I just posted a similar thread - hadn't spotted yours sorry otherwise would have added to it (just found yours by doing a google search)
I have a Fiio E17 which worked flawlessly on both my Note 3 (Snapdragon chipset) and Tab S 10.5 with 4.4
with 5.02 Lollipop no longer works with my Tab S (haven't dared upgrade my Note 3)
very very annoying
I have a Fiio E17 and I tried connecting it to my 10.5 after upgrading to lollipop and almost busted my ear drums. I haven't tried connecting it before upgrading, so I am not sure if it worked before, but it sure as hell ain't working now. The sound comes out completely distorted.
I just bought an Oppo Ha-2 and doest work with the Lollipop Tab S 10.5
Any workaround to this yet?
There's an option in Developer Options to Prevent routing to USB peripherals. I made sure that's unchecked. I checked USB Debugging. Still the same.
Tab 8.4 same problem with use of External DAC
I just purchased a Tab S 8.4 ( Lollipop) and tried to use an external DAC ( Audio Engine D3) via OTG cable . There is power to the DAC but no sound . So I installed Onkyo Player , now I get sound but its horrible with lots of distortion. I have not tried the USB Audio Player Pro yet.
USB Audio Player Pro is the answer to this, excellent player and worth the £5.80 it costs, i had the same issue with the Galaxy Alpha and this was the only way i had it working perfectly.

I have the same problem on an Samsung Galaxy S2 on 12.1 and the last Gustavo Kernel.
Using USB Audio Player Pro did not help as it reports "Failed to submit USB transfer! Your device probabyl does not support for isochronous USB transfers".
Also it does not detect the "HiFimeDIY Sabre Android DAC" only the larger "HiFimeDIY Sabre USB DAC ES9023 96kHz/24bit".
Anyone managed to make it run on any Kernel? What Kernels have you been using? The stock Kernel?

I just tried the demo version today. It worked like a charm the first time . This seems to be the only player that works with my Audioengine D3 with no stutter etc and also no external power is required . I am going to buy the App.
Hi All,
Even though I have a Bluetooth A2DP sink (a DAC) connected for media audio, my SM-320FL running current Android 8 Oreo stock ROM (XEU) still uses built-in loudspeaker, e.g. when using Youtube or Youtube music. Enabling the Samsung Separate Sound App feature and configuring Youtube app to send its audio to that sink there is the only way I've managed to force the audio there so far. So the feeling is that the OS won't treat connected sink as a higher priority audio destination. What might be the reasons? I have another 2 such phones (all 3 bought used in the UK), one at the current BTU and the other one at a rather old EVR as it's rooted and so won't autoupdate, and neither of them has such issue.
Many thanks in anticipation!
