How to improve Bluetooth audio quality

[fernando_c_m]

Hi all,

What I'm not satisfied with is Bluetooth A2DP audio performance. In the default configuration, the sound stutters and after some time the Bluetooth stack reduces the data rate -- hoping to deliver stutter-free audio. I don't expect true HiFi on the go, but I'm no fan of stuttering and compressy-rattling mids either.

Really interesting, I'll give it a try, at least the first two points. I am no fan of bluetooth audio. I only own a bluetooth headset since three months and audio quality is less than satisfactory using raspbian, or debian. That is background hammering noise when no sound, low music or only voice is being played.
I tested the bluetooth headset with mobian because of your post. I played some music from the SD card using lolipop and stuttering only happened once with no user interaction.
I agree that with user interaction stuttering happens quite frequently. I didn't experience any sound distortion on the mid freqs. I could live with it. Not with the background hammering noise though. : (
I'll test it again after applying your two first points.
Thank you for sharing this.
