Reply To: Open Ears/Rapid Ears 2.0 + Bluetooth

What is causing the repeated suspend/resume in the timeframe in which you’re expecting speech?

That’s expected. My app has a call-and-response UI, so it’s constantly suspending (when it plays audio) and resuming (when it needs to listen).

For debugging, I set up a separate view controller in my app that lets me interactively enable Open Ears and play sounds from button presses. In that context as well, I’m getting neither input nor output from bluetooth. (It works fine with phone or earbuds).

Can you use your bluetooth device as input either with a tutorial app or the sample app?

No. I’ve got the sample app running (both with and without RapidEars) and it works fine with phone or earbuds, but not with bluetooth.

So if the headset follows standards and is able to use its mic input outside of calls (not every bluetooth headset can do that), it ought to work. Does it work with other 3rd-party apps which can use bluetooth mic input?

This is a well-known, fairly high-end headset. Sound quality is excellent and it works fine with a variety of Apple and 3rd party apps that I’ve tested it with (both input/output).

I would love to hear that this is just something stupid I’m doing :)
