BT Multi-function button not activating voice command explained.
I read the explanation at a MS blog. I don't know the policy here on posting URL's to other sites so I'll just give the Reader's Digest Version.
The Voice Command developers, when starting this project, were unsure of the future of BT. They designed the software to work with 16 khz input (the sample rate at which the discrete device in the phone "listens" to the voice command). The higher the rate, the better. Existing BT devices output at a 8 khz rate.
It didn't go on to say this, but I assume the software engineers did not want to put hooks into their program to accept multifunction signals from 8 khz devices as they knew the quality of voice recognition would be low. This would obviously result in Customer Service/Satisfaction ...
