i'm using ubuntu 17.10 (single boot) on a macbookpro early 2015 (12,1 model). i have the apple airpods. they work fantastic with my android phone.
on linux though, it's another story. "it works" but the result is awful. useless. first, there's lot of time it is not able to connect. it fails. then i retry 5, 6 times and then it connects. when it works: audio is skipping, making long pauses, choppy sound most of the time. and i must stay close to the laptop or signal is lost. - using bluetooth headset on osx and android (both unixes) is a really good experience. they both perform really well. - using bluetooth headset on linux with pulseaudio is a terrible experience. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/405294 Title: A2DP Bluetooth audio skips terribly ["Skipping NNN us (= MMM bytes) in audio stream"] Status in PulseAudio: Confirmed Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: As I upgraded to the Karmic alpha, bluetooth audio (via a2dp) stopped working properly. It was working fine in Jaunty. My headphones are detected and configured by pulse, but the audio skips as if it's spending half of each second paused.
