@Evgeniy Polyakov Live CD/USB almost always work perfectly, that is not a confirmation that the issue does not exist. It is not a Distro problem per say. If you installed Fedora, the second time you tried to use the audio device, it would fail/skip etc. I do not know why, but I have been fooled many times by a "working" live CD/USB only to find out that once installed, it does not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/405294 Title: A2DP Bluetooth audio skips terribly ["Skipping NNN us (= MMM bytes) in audio stream"] Status in PulseAudio: Confirmed Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: As I upgraded to the Karmic alpha, bluetooth audio (via a2dp) stopped working properly.

If it's any consolation, I mean I know this is an Ubuntu forum, but my Manjaro system finally works with Bluetooth A2DP, no skipping and no delay! A few weeks ago some major updates were pushed and seems to be working ever since. Granted, the BT headphones connect as HSP and the default BT tools will not switch it to A2DP, but that is where you download "BLUEMAN" and just run through the setup for the particular device as Audio Sink. Once it is connected, it is working and has been working for two weeks.

Four or five years ago, A2DP just worked... ever since then, not ONE device that I have tried works...tried internal/external bluetooth modules, different brands, Dell, HP, Apple, Generic nothing works. Yet on every device, I can switch to Windows and it works perfectly! Now, I do not know whom to even contact to address this issue, is it BlueZ, Pulse Audio, Alsa, or Engelbert Humperdinck... I spent $200 for a nice pair of Sony BT Headphones, I built a custom PC to make Linux scream, and I have to plug in the headphones by wire... This issue has been documented, reported all over the internet, no one cares!

Well I found a work around for Manjaro/Arch linux... Hope this helps you guys on Ubuntu.

I can walk between rooms and the A2DP works perfectly! So what I did was downgrade my Bluez & Bluez-libs from 5.44 to 5.41-2 and all is good in the bluetooth world!

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1616695] Re: Bluetooth signal is unusably poor
I am not on a Mac or Ubuntu... but I have the same issue on Arch Linux, on a Dell XPS14 with Qualcomm Atheros Communications AR3012 Bluetooth 4.0 Been chasing this issue for weeks...sure would like to know what the fix is when someone finds it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1616695 Title: Bluetooth signal is unusably poor Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Brand new Macbook Pro 12,1. Brand new Ubuntu 16.04 install (from scratch). In MacOS the machine can connect to my bluetooth speaker from across the room and play A2DP no trouble at all. In Ubuntu 16.04 I have to literally hold up the macbook 1 inch away from the speaker to get it to connect and play, and even then it's a bit choppy. Turning off Wifi seems to help a bit, which leads me to think this is some kind of transmit power issue. Syslog is chock full of warnings about skipping audio: Aug 24 16:22:32 badassm pulseaudio[4655]: [bluetooth] module-bluez5-device.c: Skipping 206099 us (= 36352 bytes) in audio stream Aug 24 16:22:32 badassm pulseaudio[4655]: [bluetooth] module-bluez5-device.c: Skipping 382089 us (= 67400 bytes) in audio stream Aug 24 16:22:33 badassm pulseaudio[4655]: [bluetooth] module-bluez5-device.c: Skipping 394108 us (= 69520 bytes) in audio stream Aug 24 16:22:33 badassm pulseaudio[4655]: [bluetooth] module-bluez5-device.c: Skipping 328125 us (= 57880 bytes) in audio stream Aug 24 16:22:33 badassm pulseaudio[4655]: [bluetooth] module-bluez5-device.c: Skipping 59087 us (= 10420 bytes) in audio stream Aug 24 16:22:33 badassm pulseaudio[4655]: [bluetooth] module-bluez5-device.c: Skipping 14036 us (= 2472 bytes) in audio stream Aug 24 16:22:34 badassm pulseaudio[4655]: [bluetooth] module-bluez5-device.c: Skipping 247134 us (= 43592 bytes) in audio stream Aug 24 16:22:34 badassm pulseaudio[4655]: [bluetooth] module-bluez5-device.c: Skipping 342190 us (= 60360 bytes) in audio stream Aug 24 16:22:34 badassm pulseaudio[4655]: [bluetooth] module-bluez5-device.c: Skipping 172035 us (= 30344 bytes) in audio stream Aug 24 16:22:35 badassm pulseaudio[4655]: [bluetooth] module-bluez5-device.c: Skipping 803140 us (= 141672 bytes) in audio stream Aug 24 16:22:36 badassm pulseaudio[4655]: [bluetooth] module-bluez5-device.c: Skipping 651085 us (= 114848 bytes) in audio stream Aug 24 16:22:36 badassm pulseaudio[4655]: [bluetooth] module-bluez5-device.c: Skipping 202043 us (= 35640 bytes) in audio stream Aug 24 16:22:36 badassm pulseaudio[4655]: [bluetooth] module-bluez5-device.c: Skipping 265112 us (= 46764 bytes) in audio stream $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS" $ uname -a Linux badassm 4.4.0-34-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 27 16:06:39 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ lsusb Bus 002 Device 002: ID 05ac:8406 Apple, Inc.
