Google Home Mini connected to bluetooth audio - stuttering all the time! - Google Home

Hey there,
i´m wondering if anyone ever tried this feature.
I just got my free home mini today and i´d like to connect it to my hifi amplifier.
Unfortunately the home mini doesn´t have a line out but i have a bluetooth 5.0 audio transreceiver with aac and aptx-HD support and i just tried to connect it to my home mini.
I started hearing audio from my giant speakers but the audio is stuttering heavily and the sound quality is poor.
If i connect the transreceiver directly to my phone everything is fine.
I´m using wifi 5ghz so it doesn´t disturb the 2,4ghz bluetooth band.
Is this a known issue or should i contact google?
Thanks

Currently i have the HTC fuze (AT&T) aka Diamond. I just purchase the sony bluetooth headset DR-BT160AS. I have tried everyway possible i can think of to get more sound out of these headphones. It sound like im listening to music threw a bottle next door in MONO. I tryed adjusting the preset ( audio booster) with the help of tweaksdiamond. Nothing but here the knock why is it when i have the audio adapter plug into the phone i can get great sound and adjust the presets, But threw the bluetooth i get mono sound with no adjustments. Its pairs wirless headset, hands free, it work the fucntions of changing the track and adjusting volume and i can recive calls.... but with poor sound.
programs used :
blue audio
tweaksdiamond
Has anyone had this issue using wirless bluetooth stereo headsets w/a2dp enabled.
@LPHAR56 -aka- do you hear me now "HELL NO!"
I have a pair of Sony DR-BT140Q and they work/sound really great every time. They're not the same kind, but maybe yours are defective?
Try pairing it with a laptop or any other device to see if you get the same results
thanks i try to do it with a laptop. if i can see if it just my pair having issues.. just can figure out the issue

[Q] How to get audio to play through bluetooth speaker

Hi All,
I got a bluetooth speaker today for phone calls. I got http://www.amazon.com/LG-HBM-800-Bl...arging/dp/B0024FA6QW/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top. One of the reviews says he can get the audio from the gps navigation on his phone to be played via the bluetooth speaker.
Is this possible on android? I have the speaker synced just fine for calls. Of course it would be very helpful if the GPS worked on these captivates! Hah!

BT devices support different profiles (functions) - some only work with phone functions, others support music and other audio functions. Car bluetooth usually supports both (handsfree profile, and A2DP - streaming audio). Your speaker probably only supports handsfree, so it won't play music or GPS.
Check the speaker specs for what BT profiles it supports.
Try this.

This headset does route navigation and other audio to the headset. It was going for $30 - $20MIR until the end of last month. See if it comes up again.

Thanks I learned something new today! I found "Supported Bluetooth profiles: Hands-Free Profile (HFP), Headset Profile (HSP)".
Bummer... Oh well, for $30 I cant complain

[Q] Bluetooth Audio Streaming A2DP Poor Quality

Hi Folks!
Recently got a bluetooth FM transmitter so i can go hands free in the car and use phones music player too
However the audio is very heavily compressed when using A2DP - no bass and the top end frequencies turn to mush - ie not good enough to use
Checked all eq settings and different FM frequencies, no difference
plugged the analogue audio cable direct from the phone to the bluetooth FM transmitter and immediately got perfect sound again
I dont see many poeple talking about this on this forum or many answers but the closest seems to be windows phones can access and modify registry settings to check and increase the bitrate
My current thinking is the bitrate (or bitpool) over bluetooth A2DP is set too low, or when the phone and FM transmitter pair the phone selects a bitrate that's too low for quality audio (but ok for calls)
My question is does anyone know how modify the bitpool settings on the Galaxy S please?
I am going to get a custom ROM and will very happy when the phone is really mine so if that's what it takes I'm up for it
Many many thanks!

I have the Galaxy S on 3 UK since August. I use the bluetooth to transmit sound to my Samsung surround sound system (as I don't own a stereo). I don't notice significant quality issues doing this. Are you sure both your devices are supporting A2DP. Not all A2DP devices talking nicely with each other, so you may be failing back to the normal Bluetooth frequencies which are more focus of the vocal range. I'm looking a car stereo's right now that support A2DP so I can stream my audio from my phone straight to my stereo, my phone is becoming the centre of my entertainment!!
I'm running Doc's ROM on my phone, can't recommend moving to his Froyo ROM's and an enhanced kernel enough, my phone is working so much better with his ROM, but there are lots out there to choose from.
I am using A2DP in my car too and I find the sound quality being very good.
The thing is, the default Android audio player (Music Player) is pretty poor and often it lags for me.
Since I moved to MiuiMusic (Search here) all those lags are gone and it works perfectly and smoothly in my car.
Now, as pointed already to you, all BT devices do not communicate flawlessly between each other sometimes...
works great for me, streaming from the SGS to the car CZ 509 deck
i don't even carry CDs in my car anymore
even the lovely sub base sound comes through clearly.
nothing better like a Sonic Massage meanwhile you are driving
I wanted to create a new thread on this, but then I've seen this one. Is there no one with a solution except flashing cyanogen?
It could be a setting on your bluetooth receiver.
For example, I've got a pair of Sony DR-BT21G bt stereo headphones. When you hold a special button combination, it switches it from "high quality" to "any quality", and will just select whatever bitrate it thinks is best, usually, something that sounds about half as good.
Try looking in your manual for troubleshooting and see if there are any settings that you can change on the receiver itself?

Hmm, i using Sony MW600 BT headphones. I've checked the manual, but there's nothing about quality :/
But i dont think that's the problem anyway, as i tried Cyanogenmod and it got perfect quality then. But otherwise cyanogen is quite useless for me on my Galaxy S, its just too buggy. There must be someone who can change the bitpool quality on the stock gingerbread to the highest possible...
Exact same issue for me (as described by DJ LIBRE), I have a Belkin Wireless Bluetooth Music Receiver and the sound quality is horid... it's got nothing on AirPlay which I think is still kind of average quality!
I also wonder if there is a highbitrate setting that can be adjusted?
Running CyanogenMod Nightly #130 on SGS.
After getting used to listening to 24/96 FLAC's with the Voodoo Sound mod enabled with a custom built headphone amp and semi decent can's all I can say is BT Audio is a waste of time!
Has anyone noticed whether the music player was set to 5.1 surround mode? Had a similar issue where turning off the 5.1 fixed the sound streaming...

[Q] Stream ALL audio through bluetooth headset

I recently purchased a Sony bluetooth PS3 headset which also pairs fine with my Note. Calls are working great but the headset doesn't support the streaming of any other sounds apparently.
There're a few apps (BTMono and Mono Bluetooth Router for example) that are supposed to 'fix' this issue but they don't work on my Note. I'm using Slimrom 4.2.2 build 8. I don't get any error messages from the apps, they seem to activate correctly but no audio is being played through the headset.
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? I would just like to hear my gps navigation through my bluetooth because I have a very loud car and can't hear the nav when my phone is mounted on my dashboard.
Thanks in advance.
I've had a similar issue with a bluetooth headset at work - I imagine fixing this would involve diverting TTS/Music/whatever audio stream to the phone call audio stream. I've tried looking at Tasker, and frustratingly you can tell it to play a single file over the call stream, but can't set a perminant "divert notifications to call" or similar setting. Not as far as i can see.

Pie upgrade - Wifi causes choppy bluetooth audio?

I've just bought the Play - and it auto-upgraded during setup so I'm now on Android Pie.
I have noticed that bluetooth audio "stops" and restarts - with audible glitches every 30 seconds or so if Wifi is enabled. If I disable Wifi then the audio is perfect (well - not glitchy)
Data source is downloaded (audio book) so it isn't a streaming issue.
Also - if I stream Netflix and use the phone speaker - all works fine. If I stream Netflix and have bluetooth headphones on - I get buffering.
Anyone else noticed this / got a work around for this problem?
I just tested this with my Honor Play running Android Pie. With bluetooth headphones along with WiFi, there were no skips or glitches with the audio. Might be an issue with your headset or something.
I use Netflix with JBL BT speaker or Bluedio T4 BT headphones. Works perfectly.
Thanks for the responses. Odd that I didn't get this issue with this headset and my previous phone (Galaxy S7). Thanks for confirming it is isn't a problem with Android 9.
What type of headphones do you use? Which manufacturer?
