MousePotatoDoesStuff...wasn't it supposed to be other way around?
bridgeenjoyerI cannot get Linux mint Bluetooth to work anymore even with a good tp link dongle off my desktop. It skips or hiccups every minute.
I feel like it didn’t do this a few months ago…not one thing I’ve done has fixed, and no one can help me. 🤒
I’ve had this issue with my old Bluetooth buds because their batteries were dying. My new buds don’t have any issues and it’s on the same 2010 laptop running mint with the same Bluetooth adapter, maybe that’s what’s happening to you?
Its actually to connect to a Bluetooth amp thats like 2ft away. Its a shared amp, friends PC is wired to it and I use BT in it. It never has BT issues with any other device, only my desktop. And I’ve tried 3 dongles. And did all the pipewire pulse stuff everyone said to. Nothing. Imagine a CD skip every minute or so, is what it does.
That’s incredibly odd. Do you know where the Bluetooth antenna of your PC is? Maybe it’s getting some signal blocking from a metal component that is between the antenna and the amp? That’s the only other idea I have, because I seen to recall something about Bluetooth having this tendency to “accumulate” errors until it just skips to try and catch up after it got too many bad signals, but I can’t guarantee this is just some slop my brain came up on it’s own trying to figure out your issue
Its a tp link dongle plugged in the back. Probably like 2 ft from the reciever amp.
I don’t recall it doing this a few months ago either. I’ve done updates since then but can’t point to what caused it…
Yeah maybe I should time it and see if the skips come like every minute or if its random.
One thing I tested today, it does the skipping this exactly 1 minute apart every time…hmm
What if there’s something else blasting lots of signal around the same frequency of Bluetooth (2.5mHz?) trying to pair with another device? I don’t know why else your Bluetooth buds would be skipping at such a precise interval, as I think that they would have some variation in the amount buffered depending on how much data per second is being transmitted
