Audio problems. Hello, I have a Motorola DC 800 adapter. I'm trying to transmit music from my pc and the audio gets there by two seconds (it comes and goes every two seconds) Does anyone know what can be the problem?

  • chong06 Feb 12, 2008

    I have paired my Motorola DC800 to my lap-top through internal Bluetooth. And, the other end of the DC800 is connected to my sound system.



    But, there is still not music coming out? How do I "push" the music in the laptop to the blue tooth?



    Thank you.



    Regards,



    C.H. Chong

The DC800 is a Bluetooth A2DP device. It works on the 2.4 GHz range like WiFi, but it's not a WiFi device.

@marto: Most likely you do not have a stable Bluetooth connection. Move your DC800 away from other 2.4 GHz devices like WiFi access points and microwave ovens. Also don't put it on a metal shelf if you can avoid it, and reduce the number of objects between it and your laptop.

@chong06: You need a Bluetooth stack that supports A2DP (Bluetooth stereo audio) IVT BlueSoleil does, as does the Widcom Bluetooth stack. The DC800 will connect and pair like Bluetooth Stereo Headphones (note: not headset or hands-free - those are different profiles).

If this is an RF transmitter working within the WiFi range that might be your problem. First find out what channel you adapter is broadcasting on. Do this by logging into it. Then on your PC get a program called Netstumbler, and load it on your pc then turn on the program it will go out and find all of the access points around your area. It will also list the channels they are on. There are 14 channels but only three can be used channel 1 channel 6 and channel 11 find the channel that is least used and set you adapter to it. This should work. Let me know if this helps. Thank you, Shuttle83

Motorola cp200d will not work with a headset.

A few things come to mind: 1) Be certain your radio is turned off when plugging in an audio device. This insures they are pairing properly. 2) Be certain the audio device is plugged in all the way to the click position. You should feel a slight click when it is seated properly. 3) If the jack on this radio is slightly wobbled out from audio devices being plugged and unplugged the headset's plug may not be touching the sweet spot to make transmitting possible. Press slightly to the side on the plug's grommet to see if it works. If this is the case, trade headsets with another unit and see if you still have the same problem. Sometimes it is as simple as playing musical chairs with audio devices. 4) If you are using the radio in digital mode, not all audio devices will work. Check with your Motorola dealer to see which audio accessories will work with your unit in digital mode. (They will have a digital emblem stamped on them.)

Can I put my micro sd 16gd into this and play music through usb on car stereo?

To my knowledge, USB ports on smartphones are only used for transferring files to/from a PC. You'll need either a mini-phono (1/8") input on your car stereo and a male-male mini-phono adapter cord or play to a Bluetooth receiver that either transmits to your car's FM band or has an audio input to your car stereo. (Like the example on Amazon)

How do i wirelessly connect the reciever to the speaker system/tv?

You'll want to research an adapter for this. Radio shack probably has one of the most inexpensive units available today, but you can find others online, with better quality sound. Start with a google search for what you are trying to do. Google, "how to connect speakers to stereo, wireless".

Keep in mind, not all speakers are created the same. Some have amplifiers in them and some do not. This will change the type of adapter you will need.

Fairly new adapters on the market may transmit audio over a wireless network or even Bluetooth, you will need to research your receiver and/or tv to see if either of these are options for you. Another common thing is a range of branded theatre A/V sound systems with wireless sub woofer and/or back speakers.

Good luck with this, it should be a fun project.

I have two motorola aux4100 radios. I can not get them receive. When I key it up to transmit, the red LED of the transmitting unit comes on and the green LED on the receiving unit comes on but does not...

I would guess you have a PL set on the receive side, and not on the Transmit side. So the audio is being blocked by the PL (as it is supposed to be!) Check your programming, make sure you have the same PL on tx and rx.

Vocalist live 2 problem. power to unit OK , lights up. Guitar output OK. No tuner, no vocal output.

NO power light or audio from Digitech Vocalist 2 live. Check that your power adapter is for 9 Volts AC (not DC like most pedals) and is rated at 1300ma or more. A DC adapter MAY light up the unit but not make it pass audio. Lights can be lit but that is NOT an indication thaat correct power is applied. They likely use the AC input to generate both positive and negative voltage within the unit. The use of a DC adapter will prevent generating one of these required voltages and prevent audio from passing.

Laptop shows thunderbolt to show its connected to power adaptor, but wont turn on at all. BTW, i replaced both the power cord and the battery, and it still wont turn on- no noise or fan, nothing at all....

The motherboard may be bad. Make sure the harddrive is securely connected. Reseat the RAM boards. Verify you are getting DC voltage out of the adapter tip by measuring it with a volt meter for around 19 Volts DC. If it's good, then check the power jack and verify you get a blue light around the jack when you plug the adapter. If you verified you're getting power successfully and still doesn't come on then the motherboard is bad.

When pushing the push to talk button either on the radio or the headset cord I get a loud beep over the speaker and the radio won't transmit. I have replaced batteries, reprogramed unit still no fix. Any...

Two thoughts, I know you've replaced the batteries, but this can be a sign of a low, bad or weak battery. You might check your charger to see that the light is coming on and staying on during charging. Also, be certain the radio is shut off during charging.

Secondly, be certain when using any audio device the radio is shut off when plugging in the audio device. And the device is designed to go with the radio you are using it with.

Troubleshooting thoughts: 1) Try a battery directly out of a working radio to see if the problem stops. If the problem persists, you have a radio or device problem. 2) Try the radio without the audio device, with a known good battery. If you still have a problem, you have a radio problem. 3) Try your audio device on a known good radio. If there is no problem, your audio accessory is okay.

Best regards.

Red light isn't indicating it detects source

I have the same model as you.

Plug in the transmitting unit into a good working power outlet. Make sure you have the audio connected to a loud source. Turn on the source device producing the loud audio to be transmitted to your headphones. (This being your IPod - Turn it full blast). Now see if the transmitting unit's LED light is on. Check headphones for audio. (May have to tune in the headphones till green and adjust its volume as well).

Note: Some radio stations bleed over into the headphones and you may have gotten the "Beautiful Music" from this radio station frequency harmonic anomaly. Keep tuning your headphones till you hear your music or audio source.

I recommend that the source of your audio have its built-in speakers off, while still providing audio out to your transmitting unit, via an external audio output. Check your source manual or look for audio jacks on the front or back. There may be a setting to turn this on and for the main built-in speakers to be turned off as well.

If this does not work, unplug the transmitting unit, and then plug it back in again, after waiting for about 10 seconds - all while audio is being provided to the unit. It should come on.

Remember that if the audio to the transmitting unit is quiet OR off for about one minute, the transmitting unit will turn off and you will hear FM noise, loudly, on your headphones. This is due to the "lack of audio" timer built-in to the transmitting unit.
