Wondering if there's a secret. It's like everything below 200mhz has been removed, both through headphone jack and bluetooth.
Sound quality for me both on Bluetooth and headphones is great
Sounds good to me
Same here. Good quality in car whether i use my bt adapter or through audio jack.
Using Vanilla Player to play local mp3s sounds good on my headphones. Maybe a little "small" on my BT speaker, but its a small cheap speaker. Haven't noticed poor quality in my car.
I do use bluetooth pretty much exclusively in the car. I have a pair of headphones that sound really good with the phone. Dont use anything else to play music but I do sometimes have problems with the headphone jack when I move the cable around.
The sound quality when connected via cable to my car stereo or headphones seems to be fairly decent, though a bit noisier than the audio I get from my iPhone. I still have the problem of losing audio on calls after disconnecting from the audio jack (I can't hear callers on incoming calls and sometimes callers cannot hear me when I call them) and then having audio not re-routed back to the audio jack the next time I connect. Because this has happened on more than one Fire phone, I just use a cheap Bluetooth USB adapter connected to my stereo which does degrade the audio quality somewhat however.
Do you guys use any sound processing apps at all? I seriously have no bass coming out of my phone. I turn the bass up almost all the way on my car stereo, and in an EQ app for the phone (tried without the app too), and it's still not quite what a normal mp3 playing directly on my car receiver sounds like.
I'm on fire OS, are any of you on cm11?
Also this uses dolby or something doesn't it? I worry that something I've disabled has messed it up, but don't know what it would be.

No sound processing apps for me. I'm usually on Fire OS 4.6.3 rooted with no Google Play services. Now I'm on 4.6.5 unrooted (trying to resolve a GPS issue) and it sounds the same over BT.
Works fine for me too. Hardwired through AUX or with Bluetooth. Headphones/earbuds sound good too. I mainly use Amazon Music player, Google Music, and Pandora.
I've had no problems with BT connection from my Fire OS Fire Phone to my Sony receiver. Bass response is good whether or not I am running "Equalizer FX." I use Equalizer FX because the bass on the car stereo (and my headphones) rolls off below 60Hz.
I have learned from other phones that running the volume at max level can cause clipping and sound degredation.

I use a Sony Receiver in my car which is bluetooth compatible. When I've used an iPhone and a Droid 2 with it in the past the audio streaming has been great, but I've noticed when testing it with an Arrive and with an HD7 it sounds like it's streaming at a low bitrate. It gets kind of crackly. Does anyone know if this is a known issue or if there is some sort of setting I can use to adjust it?
I've actually wondered if they dropped the bitrate on bluetooth audio streaming with the NoDo update, or remixed it. My memory may be failing me, but I swear I had a better audio streaming to my car stereo and bluetooth headphones on my Samsung Focus before the update. It sounds like the highs are mixed more sharply now, with missing mid/bass emphasis. This is to a nice JBL 8-speaker system in the car, and a pair of Sleek Audio SA6s via a Jabra 3030. Anyone else noticed a change in bluetooth audio streaming since NoDo?
Hi
I'm just wondering what would happen if I have the phone playing podcasts through the car stereo, but also connect a Bluetooth headset? Will I just get the audio through both the car speakers and the headset?
I don't particularly want to listen just on the headset, but I need it in case of calls on a long journey sometimes!
It's probably going to depend on the particulars, what Bluetooth profiles they use, etc.
In my situation, I have my GNexus plugged into my Car Stereo with an audio cable, and Podcasts, etc. play through it just fine.
I have a visor-mounted Blueant S4 device paired to the phone. When a call comes in, my GNexus actually pauses the Podcast, and the phone call is routed through my Blueant S4, just as I would like it. When the call ends, the Podcast resumes, playing through my car stereo.
Works just perfectly for me, but I imagine the behavior will vary depending on the particular hardware, profiles used, etc.
Hmmm.... maybe I need a visor-mounted system, then... especially given my headset hurts my ear after about half an hour anyway!

You can define what profile the device uses, Media and/or Phone audio. Just untick Phone on the stereo if it auto pairs that way and allow the headset to connect to phone. The actual audio content is routed to the appropriate stream.
Sorry if I was unclear. The phone would be connected to the car stereo via headphone, not Bluetooth...
After a while the sound through my headphones sounded wierd the voices were super low and the bass almost completely gone.. if I play it through power amp with the volume control on right or left meaning only play out of those sides it sounds perfectly normal... but if I place the balance in the middle it back to the wierd sound... any idea what could cause this and how to fix it.
How about your BT ? How does it sound ? I recently paired my E4GT to my Ford (using SYNC) and I noticed the volume was really low, compared to my old Blackberry 8350 (which worked perfectly). Also the quality of the voice seemed much lower when compared to the Blackberry... it doesn't make sense.
The weird part is that media files are playing exactly as before, so the music sounds very good while call quality is ... well it $#!^...

Not sure But an important factor is I did pair my cellphone up with my Car's inbuilt ipod adapter I used a Female ipod to Auxilary adapter to connect my phone to the cars audio system would that have caused it? I tried factory reset everything still sounds the same... I don't know why... would there be any app or program to test the audio quality? like a virtual headphone test or something?
Edit: I played a Dolby headphone test on my phone using the earphones and everything seems okay except for when it does the LFE Hz test at about 80-75 Hz I can't hear anything, but on my computer I can hear all of them here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUrk2W_r5fc
When I connect to media audio via bluetooth in my car, I can only get audio out of the left side speakers. This is repeatable on different apps that play music. When I play a radio station in my car I get sound out of both sides.
What can I check to help diagnose this problem and hopefully fix it?
Thanks.
Does anybody else have this problem?
Does your car audio system support A2DP stereo Bluetooth profile ? Probably it does, otherwise I don’t think you can stream audio with just the Hands-free (HFP) profile (which is a low quality link meant only for calls). Mine works fine in stereo with my car’s audio system. Try deleting all the BT settings from your car and initialize everything from the beginning.
Iam verry sure that your audio car not support A2DP because in my car i can use for stereo...try to see the specification for your car audio bluetooth..
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
It works fine when I use my Galaxy Nexus. This makes me believe it supports A2DP. This problem is unique to the One X for me. Did I get a bad phone?
Also, when I crank the balance over to the side that doesn't work I can hear it a little bit, but it's crackly and distorted.
EDIT: Problem solved. Re-seated the wiring in the sound system and everything is fine now.
Hello Everyone,
We here at iBOLT would love to find out what percentage of Samsung Galaxy S4 users are listening to streaming music from their handset while in the car. As your S4 has access to great music Apps like Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, Slacker etc. it would be great to find out what percentage are driving a car equipped with car-stereo that features Bluetooth Audio Streaming (so called "A2DP" profile). If not, what kind of speaker do you have set up?
Don't have a car, but when I ride my motorbike I use the S4A to listen to music through my bluetooth headset in my helmet.
And if I were to buy a car, the ability to pair it with my phone (also for a2dp) is definitely important.
I stream both Internet content and content stored on my device. The content isn't what's important. What's important is the ability to stream the content through bluetooth to the radio.
my car has a Galaxy Tab 2 7" in my dash board so most of my music is played right off the 16GB MicroSD Card in the tablet, but when I do want to stream from my Subsonic server at home I do it through my phone. I do have a BT Headset (Samsung HS3000) which supports A2DP wired into my car speakers, but from my phone the volume is super low for some reason, so I usually just plug my phone into the 3.5mm headset plug I have also hooked up in my car.
I just use simple wired headphones because my bluetooth set fell off my head and shattered to tiny bits on the floor it's funny cause it still works but there's no way to get it back together again. I only use play music at the moment. I'd rather not stream because it bites into my data plan with sharp pointy teeth. That crap leaves marks!
Well I use my Plantronics Bluetooth headsets while I am in the car or on my bike...the music quality is superb and it just makes me to enjoy the track with driving though and its quite easy to answer the calls even so I just love my headsets they are pretty awesome one to use.....
I like listen to streaming music while driving, cause it can make me sober when drive.:laugh:
mainly using deezer for streaming with 3,5mm jack !
I do.

Is your car stereo a kenwood? I used to be an installer and a lot of kenwood bluetooth models have a default setting to play bluetooth audio through only one speaker. This had me stumped for a while, but what you need to do to change it is to put it in the "standby" source, and then access "detailed settings" and look for a setting I believe is labeled bluetooth HF audio or something, enter that setting and you can change it from "front/front only" to "all". It took a while for me to finally find it because you need to be on the standby source and access the settings. You'd think to be able to change it while in the bluetooth source. Hope that solves your issue.
