I've continued playing with this. After some more experimentation it seems (for me at least) its a bluetooth signal strength issue. I moved my bluetooth audio receiver closer to the laptop (within 4 feet now) and the audio almost never cuts out now. Furthermore if I obstruct the line of sight between the laptop and the receiver the audio will cut out. The audio comes back right away if i remove the obstruction. It's unfortunate the signal strength is the problem in my opinion since the 4ft max distance somewhat defeats the purpose of having a wireless connection. I also wonder why my ipod bluetooth transmitter is so much stronger; as it sounds good from 20ft and through walls, only being powered by the ipod battery. The next obvious question is; is there any way to monitor/boost the bluetooth signal strength emitted by the laptop? I understand there very well may be hardware limitations with this. No complaints from me regardless, I can still very much enjoy pandora radio from my home stereo w/out wires!
