Having Bluetooth Stuttering Issues on Windows 10

Anonymous

As of recent, when connecting any pair of bluetooth headphones or devices, I would get stuttering problems where when using bluetooth headphones, the audio would frequently cut in and out randomly, and it would frequently disconnect, even when it was fully charged. And yes, I've tried to fix the issue by disabling audio enhancements, but it hasn't helped at all. Additionally, I've had problems with other bluetooth devices where they would also frequently disconnect. Is there a fix to these problems?

    I have been having stuttering bluetooth headphone issues on all three BT 'phones I have. Interestingly the solution for me was to insta ll a wifi-card! Both my and my wife's Windows PCs didn't need wifi cards but a recent move around meant my wife's PC (DELL) required wifi. Bought a Vbit PCI-e WiFi card from Amazon, (model WIE7625) installed it and discovered it had a BT radio on it.  This claims to be 4.2  Anyway,  all headphones worked as they should - so I bought one for my PC (HP) and same again - wonderful sound.  I have a Behringer 560M for ZOOM et al work with microphone - it works very well. I also have Sony BT headphones for music listening, which sound wonderful now.

    Makesure you have your Bluetooth headphone (Mine is Sony WF XB-700) connected.

    Go to taskbar>Sound>Playback Tab> sound settings, You should see two option for your bluetooth. One under Headphones as stereo and another under Headset as Hands-Free AG audio. What you need to do is disable the Headphone option by right clicking on it and makesure you have Headset as is enabled and default. There you go, this should resolve the bluetooth stuttering issue. Please take a note that doing so would degrade the sound quality (all bass feeling are gone sounds like cheap local headphone of 1$) for your Wireless bluetooth.

    If anybody have any solution to restore the sound quality would be helpful.

    This was the same for me.  I just turned off my bluetooth mouse when I'm trying to listen to audio.  It sucks, but it's a small price to pay to be able to have the stuttering gone.

    I believe I found a fix just now. I also was having the audio shutters on both bluetooth headphones that I own. This is what I did:

    1. Go down to the taskbar & to the sound icon on the right-bottom. Right-click to bring up the menu & select "Open Sound Settings"
    2. Go to where it saids "Sound Control Panel" on the far right & click it.

    3.  There should be two of the same bluetooth headphone devices that you want to play audio from, A Headset & Headphone version. Disabled "Headphone" device & leave "Headset" device enabled.

    1. Test the audio of the Headset version to see if it works from here as well by right clicking the  headset device & click Test.

    5.  Go back to the taskbar & click the sound icon. You should be able to select the Headset version of your Headphones & the audio should be good to go.

    This worked for me!  Thank you for that info.  It's been driving me nuts and there are soooo many possible solutions.

    I was having the same issue and had tried everything including reinstalling drivers wifi as well as BT but nothing worked. Finally, I read somewhere that it is the enhancements in the headphone mode which are causing this issue, turning them off completely solved the issue for me! 

    Best way of doing that would be to START>SETTINGS>TROUBLESHOOT>PLAYING AUDIO>Select the headphone mode of the device you are having trouble with!
