[Bug 1333024] Re: Bluetooth audio Underruns, dropouts or crackling sound

 

Same behaviour (only no. 3) on a T530 with a Samsung soundbar! The
connection is always ok with the soundbar, however the sound itself lags
very often and it is a very poor quality in this meaning.

Title:
  Bluetooth audio Underruns, dropouts or crackling sound

Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  My bluetooth performance when connected to an audio device is very
  poor on my Lenovo T440s. There are multiple problems when I connect to
  my logitech device:

  1) It often disconnects unexpectedly. It will connect for 2-5 seconds before disconnecting. This happens over and over with no messages in dmesg.
  2) If I can get it to connect, the audio device is listed in the sound settings only about 50% of the time. I have to disconnect, restart bluetooth (\etc\init.d\bluetooth restart) and try again.
  3) If I can get it playing, the audio lags by ~10s and is really, really chopped up. Totally unintelligible.

  The things I know which might help:

  Lenovo T440s

  Pulseaudio version:
  pulseaudio 4.0 - I don't think it's pulse audio as the daemon won't start:
  $ pulseaudio --check
  $ pulseaudio -D
