Hey! Here is a new one!
The stutter comes and goes depending on whether the bluetooth settings are active or not. When I close the settings window, its gone…
I had to run the settings to make the connection to the device, and kept them running after.
This is really consistent (at least for now). Only tried it with one device so far.
(Edit: there still is a tiny glitch every nine seconds. Also very consistent.)
Edit: I get the same thing with another device (an old Beats speaker): bluetooth settings active -> five second stutter; no bt settings -> no stutter.
With brand new Roseland RS-400 speakers (bt 5.2) I get five seconds of sound, five seconds of silence. So, the slow and the fast stutter appear to be the same thing.
(Haven’t heard the 9 second glitch with these devices just yet.)
Could it be the searching for devices that does this? There is this constant swirl…This begs the question, why continue searching when there is already an active connection?
