[Q] Sound output select - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use the MW1 bluetooth headset, and sometimes after pausing it both from the phone or the MW1, when I restart it it either plays sound through the phone's speaker, or just... nowhere.
Is there an app or (preferably) a widget for the menubar where I can select from all connected or builtin outputs? So, it should show both phone speaker, headset connected to the phone, or bluetooth units.

A2DP but no Headset icon or Sound in Headphones

Hello
I am a beginner both with the Kaiser and the A2DP . I have paired my Jabra 8010 BT correct and when I push the menu button I get the voice speed dial page with " no tag selected " so I assume my connection to the Kaiser is okay.
But when I want to use the stereo function for HTC Player or Windows mediaplayer the sound is not switching from the speaker to the headset .
Any idea what settings or steps I need to do to get the sound to the BT headset ?
There is as well no little Headset icon in the tool bar as set in page 176 of the manul .. (see I am reading first !)
Thanks for any help .

Did you pair the Jabra for A2DP? In the Kaiser's BT settings for the device, you should see two services, Hands Free & Wireless Stereo, and both boxes should be checked. If you see only one service, you'll have to re-pair the Jabra; if you see both, but Wireless Stereo isn't checked, check it.
hmm it looks more like a bug or a intended function.
I have both hands free and stereo profile.
When I delete the bluetooth pairing and re-pair it works like it should:
- Headset icon in menu bar
- when media player start the sound is automatic transfered to head set
but now ... when I switch out BT in the coms manager and switch it on again:
- no headset icon appears at all
- no transfer of sound from media player to head set
even the handbook says (page 176) run steps 1-3 of the paring again.
Does this means I need to re-pair mu stereo headset each time I want to have music transfered to the Heatset after switching off BT on the phone ???
That can not be true or ?

confirmed ... looks like before any usage of wireless stereo (after switch off/on BT) I need to go each time into the connection manager, bluetooth settings, left tab on Jabra, select set as stereo ... if this is done the headset Icon appears again in the menu.
I am the only one to whom this looks very complicated to just listen to your podcast ... ?
Why cant the BT profile hold the information that my headset is BT stereo ???

I seem to be having the same problem. Every time I turn on my Bluetooth, and every time I make a phone call, I have to un-check wireless stereo, save, then re-check it in order to listen to music via my Jabra BT8010.
I wish there was a fix for this.
Use A2DP toggle to re-connect from the today screen.

a2dp auto-enable

Whenever I turn my Cardo S-2 a2dp stereo bluetooth headphones on, the headset bluetooth profile kicks in, and calls immediately go to the headphones.
Can this be done with the bluetooth stereo headphones profile for listening to music as well? Currently, I have to click on BatteryStatus's bluetooth icon in the systray, click on a2dp, wait for the profile to kick in, and turn the volume from vibrate to full. It's a pain in the ass every time I want to listen to music.
Ideally, if it's not built into the OS, there should be a little systray app that would poll to see if any headphones are within range, then automatically enable a2dp and set the volume for you. When they disconnect, it would go back to your previous volume setting, not just 0 volume like it does now.
I don't know about the Cardo's but when I hook up my Motorola S9 my music is automatcally hooked up as well. When you sinked your Cardo with your phone through the Bluetooth conection settings did you set them up as handsfree and Stereo, or just Handsfree?

Yes, it was set up as stereo (as well as handsfree), but music does not automatically play in the headphones when they are turned on. I have to start a2dp and take it off vibrate in order to play music.
Same problem here. I solved it by installing A2DPToggle, and making a shortcut to turn the music on the headset in the system tray through Traylaunch
I also use A2DPToggle and use the plugin that stays on the Today screen to control when I use it.
But just like this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351697 ) you can find all sorts of different options.

Bluetooth Audio output

Does anyone know of a reliable Bluetooth Audio App? i tried (what seems to be the only one on the market) Bluetooth Audio widget app and it does the trick... it transfers all the sound like music, gps directions and phone call to my jawbone. The application itself crashes all the time and the widget it self is non responsive sometimes and you have to remove it and add it again.
I'm not sure what you mean. I have a stereo bluetooth headset for running and such and all I do is enable bluetooth on my phone and turn on the headset (it was one I got on new egg by motorola and will take calls as well). Anyways it automatically transfers audio after that to the headset only. I assume this is the way out normally is for any headset.

Issues with Note 3 w/ Motorola T605 Car Kit & Bluetooth AVRCP Disconnecting

OK this is a bit convoluted so please bare with me:
I have a motorola T605 installed, but do not have it hooked up to my car stereo. I use a 3.5mm cable from my Note 3 to my car stereo, and the T605 just for phone calls, BUT I do use the controls on the T605 to skip tracks.
The problem I have is it works great, until I make or receive a phone call, then the Bluetooth AVRCP profiles cease to work, and the volume keys, which were being used to skip tracks before the call, now only adjust the phone volume, and the T605 itself blinks Blue (indicating phone profile connected) instead of flashing yellow (indicating phone and media profiles connected) as it was before the phone call.
Once it happens the only way to restore it is to shut off the bluetooth car kit (ie turn my car off). Powering the bluetooth on the phone off/on does nothing, as when it reconnects it still only have the phone functionality.
When I look at the setting>Bluetooth menu on the Note, both before and after a call, it always says that both Phone and Media profiles are active and connected.
For the record I am using X-Note ROM.
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance everyone.

Ok so the moto T605 is connected via bluetooth, and under bluetooth settings both phone and media are checked correct? BUT your sending the media via 3.5mm jack. I hope I read what you wrote right. If I did, I think you need to UNcheck the media box in bluetooth settings and just have phone connected. This way the music will play via 3.5mm until the phone rings. Then it will mute the 3.5mm and you'll hear the phone call over bluetooth connection. Also since the T605 is still connected via bluetooth it should still change your tracks.
Try that or tell me I read the whole post wrong and we'll try a different scenario. lol
I think you misunderstand. The audio is playing fine out of the 3.5mm jack. My goal is to keep the AVRCP connected so I can use hte button on the bluetooth car kit to control the audio player functionality of note 3 when not on a call.
