Public bug reported: I can play via bluetooth from my laptop or my mobile phone. I have a set of bluetooth headphones and bluetooth speakers.
Any combination of output with the smartphone as the player works, which is as it should be. Any combination of output with the laptop as the player is miserable: sound stutters, sometimes randomly, sometimes seemingly when I touch the laptop or come close to it...had similar or identical problems with a previous Ubuntu laptop. Bluetooth audio seems to be in very bad shape. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS Release: 18.04 laptop Dell XPS 9370 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: pulseaudio 1:11.1-1ubuntu7.4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.3.0-46.38~18.04.1-generic 5.3.18 Uname: Linux 5.3.0-46-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.14 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: tna 2174 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: tna 2174 F...m pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Wed Apr 15 22:55:05 2020 DistributionChannelDescriptor: # This is a distribution channel descriptor # For more information see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributionChannelDescriptor canonical-oem-somerville-xenial-amd64-20160624-2 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-05-10 (706 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 "Xenial" - Build amd64 LIVE Binary 20160624-10:47 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: pulseaudio UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to bionic on 2020-03-04 (42 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 12/11/2019 dmi.bios.vendor: Dell Inc. dmi.bios.version: 1.12.1 dmi.board.name: 0W970W dmi.board.vendor: Dell Inc. dmi.board.version: A05 dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Dell Inc. dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnDellInc.:bvr1.12.1:bd12/11/2019:svnDellInc.:pnXPS139370:pvr:rvnDellInc.:rn0W970W:rvrA05:cvnDellInc.:ct10:cvr: dmi.product.family: XPS dmi.product.name: XPS 13 9370 dmi.product.sku: 07E6 dmi.sys.vendor: Dell Inc. ** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1873086 Title: sound stutters when playing on a bluetooth receiver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1873086/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
