Guys,
As I keep twiddling with my linux desktop setup, I decided to venture
into a wireless headphone project. So I went and got a USB 3.0 bluetooth
dongle. The lsusb output gives for this device the following...
Bus 003 Device 006: ID 0a5c:21e8 Broadcom Corp. BCM20702A0 Bluetooth 4.0
I have a pair of BT ProHT head phones and after screwing around a bit,
got them to pair up with my desktop and I was listening to audio happily
ever after... Until... the sound stream started to studder and skip. I
made sure the USB dongle was plugged into a USB 3.0 port which seems to
help a bit, but other than that it became an annoyance.
I read somewhere on some web page that the bluetooth audio uses a lot of
bandwidth and maybe linux is just not suited for realtime, high
bandwidth over USB audio? Or are there other issues I need to worry
about? There is basically no load on my workstation, and as workstations
go, its rather beefy.
I'm wondering if I should just stay away from using bluetooth for my
audio headphone needs.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated as usual.
Thanks. Steve.
