I'm not sure if it's relevant, but here's something I learned a while
back:
I have an older Sony-Ericsson cellphone that has a music player
function. The phone also has BT, and I have an earbud that works fine
*for telephone conversations*. I had a reason for wanting to play music
through the BT earbud, but nothing I could do got it to work. The manual
says the music player will work with BT, so I called the "help" line to
find out what I was doing wrong.
Turns out that in order for the phone to play music via BT, the BT
headset *has to be stereo*. It would have been easy for the software
folks to just mix the two audio channels and send that to the BT in the
case that it was mono, but nooooo. They had to do it the stupid way and
just forbid the audio.
And according to S-E, there's no way around it; stereo BT or no audio
for you!
So the problem is actually just stupid programmers (or spec writers,
same result).
Maybe you're having the same problem?
