Audio settings
In this section we will focus on various settings in
connection with the Generic Audio profile.
As already mentioned in the section “Audio”, there
are basically two ways of using an audio link:
The Bluetooth audio device feature, using a
headset, the Bluetooth link serving as a sound
card.
The Bluetooth speaker phone feature, using
the computer speaker and microphone like a
phone, the audio coming from an ordinary
sound card.
Note: For optimal sound performance, you
should run the Bluetooth Speaker Phone
Setup Wizard. See the following section.
For information on how to establish and use audio
links, see “Audio”.
Default audio path:
By default, your computer is set up as a
Bluetooth speaker phone. If you want to change
this default setting:
1. On the Bluetooth menu, point to Profile
Properties, and click Generic Audio.
2. At the top of the Audio Properties dialog box,
click Audio Settings. The following dialog
box appears:
3. In the item Audio Path, select either
Bluetooth Audio Device or Bluetooth
Speaker Phone as the default setting.
Audio quality:
As appears from the example above, the Audio
Settings dialog box also contains the item Audio
Quality. Here you can set the sound quality to be
used during the next audio link.
Generally speaking, the higher the sound quality
the better. However, the higher the quality, the
more of the capacity of the Bluetooth unit is
needed for the link. If you want to be able to
transfer data at the same time as sound, you
should select medium or low audio quality.
The default setting is Low.
