3. On a 3XXPlantronics headset, audio is very faint (even when volume  is set to maximum on both tablet and headset)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to get audio, but instead I get nothing or very faint.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Cannot find product version number; it was downloaded from Android Market on 12th Novermber 2011.  I'm using Android 3.1 on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Please provide any additional information below.

Hi Thanks for the report.

BT support is very tricky to get on android. You can track issue 51 to get updates on progress to fully support all bluetooth use cases.

You can also try to use latest nigthly build and play with expert audio workarounds settings available in ExpertSettingMode . (Micro source for example may be helpful, or bluetooth micro/speacker volume amplification from software).

Standard audio routing is already very hard to get working on all platforms (there is already tricks to apply depending on devices you are using).
So I let you imagine when it is about bluetooth that is not only dependant on the audio driver implementation made by the manufacturer (and samsung is the worse in this field), but also depends on the telephony application that holds the SCO connection to bluetooth device (even if your device does not support mobile calls!)

If you find something interesting as workaround settings that help to improve things on your device, do not hesitate to share on the issue 51. I guess it will be welcome by everybody that face issue on their device with BT support.
