Bluetooth sounds lags - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I have a Sennheiser PXC310BT bluetooth headset which I've been using to listen to music and movies with on my Galaxy Nexus. There it works flawlessly.
But I noticed that on my Note 10.1, the lags a few milliseconds - enough to notice when I'm watching movies/series. I've tried both the stock player and DicePlayer, and the same is happening. If I disconnect the headset and use the speakers, the sounds is correct.
Anyway to fix this?

I have been using my Bluetooth headphones - about 3 diff pairs as well as my Blubridge bluetooth hook up on my stereo with no lag issues...
I know you probablly dont want to hear that but i figured i would note it- just so you would not focus only on a fix for the tab. Maybe try unpairing and forgetting your headset and than reboot, than repair it and connect. Worth a shot.
Good luck

I also have quite noticeable lag with my Sennheiser BT headphones. I'm running with the latest software update... I wonder i that makes a difference?

BT headphone or headset EQualizer

Hello all
So this is the problem. since I have tab 7" I use a headet a lot. But the audio in my headset is full of bass. It's like someone speaking to me true inside a deeeeep hole. just a lot of bass. So I was trying all kind of equalizers but non of them work on BT output. So question to all of you is there a app like that.
I am running overcome ROM 4.0.0. I tried voodoo app (works great on headphones and speakers but not on BT headset. Havent really test BT headphones A2DP since my battery is dead and I just can't find my cable.) I tried a lot of EQ apps from market but non of tham have effect on BT. I also tried that DSP manager but it does not work at all. I can change settings as much as I want but nothing actually happens.
I remember that old phones without any smart OS could do that. They had in call equalizer. Funny that such a smart OS like android doesn't have something like that.
So please help. I there is no such app someone should make it.
Thank you all
Sounds like the extra booming bass is a characteristic of your BT headset as the Galaxy tab is not the source. The Tab has one of the best audio chips. Did you try with another BT headset? If you tell us which brand headset you use you may get more feedback...

It could be. Headphone is SE HBH-608 and headset is nokia BH-503 but this Nokia is not tested since I lost my charging cable. Can't find it. After I test it I will know for sure. But it could be that is because of headphone.

hi. thanks for suggestion. I tried that one and all other EQs. Non of them have effect on BT sound output. It does on a2dp BT output but that is only for listening to audio. Voice does not go via a2dp so it can't be modulated.

That's funny. I have used all EQ's with success through BT going to my BOSE Soundlink speakers.
No problem wit my BT platronics

volume+
try volume+ by meltus. it works bluetooth with my prius. it has bluetooth settings.
It was probably because of headphone. I tried headset and it is better but it also depends on other side and persons mic.
I think it is from the headset, because I had that problem earlier when I was using SE headset (I don't remember its model), but when I use SE MW600 the sound is so clear, btw if you have A2DP bt headset with 3.5 audio jack you can get different quality of sound if you only change the wired headset attached to it.

Bluetooth lag still present with Wifi turned off

I tried pairing the Infinity with my newly purchased LG HBS-700 headset.
http://www.amazon.com/LG-Tone-Wirel...ie=UTF8&qid=1343709944&sr=8-1&keywords=lg+700
The sound quality is fantastic, but unfortunately, the audio is siginificantly out of sync with any video. I first tried Youtube which resulted in delayed audio in all the videos. I read on here that people were having issues because Bluetooth and Wifi on this device share the same antenna. I then tried watching a 1080p mkv from a Class 10 microSD card using BS Player. This resulted in the same audio delay. I then turned off Wifi and reopened the movie file. The audio delay was the same. So it appears that the Bluetooth lag we are experiencing is independent of Wifi usage. I really hope this is fixable as I bought this headset with the Infinity in mind.
I should point out that I then tested the headset with my Galaxy Nexus. I streamed the same Youtube videos with good results. There might be some lag, but it is so small that I can hardly detect it.
For those of you with Bluetooth audio headsets or speakers, use this Youtube clip to gauge your audio lag.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCPEidaVzQU
With my Galaxy Nexus, the clap sound is around the 0 mark. With the Infinity, the clap sound is at +3 or +4.
Bump for anyone who can test this.
I just paired my LG HBS-700s to my Galaxy Tab 10.1. And guess what?
NO AUDIO LAG!
With my Galaxy Tab, Youtube audio is spot on as well. No problem with Wifi and Bluetooth running simultaneously. This tells me that this must be a software issue on the Infinity that needs fixing ASAP.
I have a Jam box and I can confirm that the audio is out of sync 1~2 secs on all apps (games, YouTube, Google music, etc).
Same apps with my Gnexus no lags.

Miserable Bluetooth Audio Quality

Hello,
I have a relatively severe issue with the Bluetooth audio quality on my phone. It sounds pretty much exactly like 64kbits MP3, you can especially hear it in the high frequencies. It's somehow distorted and unclear and extremely annoying as it ruins the experience totally. Everyone who heard sound over my Bluetooth devices has heard this.
The weird thing: I experienced this with both my Galaxy S5 (G900F) and my Galaxy S6 (G920F) and every single Bluetooth device that is connected to them. I tried it with my Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter, Denon AVR X1100W, Logitech Boombox and my car stereo Kennwood KDC-BT35U. The audio quality is always the same.
However, with my Nexus 5, my Galaxy Tab S8.4 and my Laptop, the audio quality over Bluetooth is great! Also, if I use the headphone jack on my Galaxys, it sounds just fine. I mostly use Spotify and Google Play Music, but the problem is not there since it sounds great when using a cord.
I asked the Samsung Support about this and of course they didn't know anything. They offered replacing the device but I don't think that this makes a difference since I had the same problem on my Galaxy.
Now I am asking everyone else who has the Galaxy S5 or S6, have you experienced something like this? Any solutions? It is very frustrating.
I just solved this mystery. For a long time I have been using the Mi Fitness Band, and I was wearing it all the time, so whenever that is connected to the phone the audio quality gets very bad. At least I know what it is now!
Same here!
If my Mi Band 2 is paired in the Mi Fit app, the audio quality of ANY connected bluetooth device (aux speaker, car audio etc.) is distorted (especially high sounds)
I reinsatlled the Mi Fit app, even reseted the whole phone, nothing changes. Only if I unpair the Mi Band in the mi fit app, is the bluetooth audio quality ok.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Android 6.0.1
Xiaomi Mi Band 2 firmware V1.0.1.34
Good audio quality at Bluetooth playback
Guys,
I experienced the same when i playback via Bluetooth in my car. Since i installed Poweramp beta, you can choose some different type of audio playback quality. I set mine at 24 bit playback, 192 khz. I can hear some slight difference but i think you can not expect much of it.
Second option might be Viper4android and Dolby Atmos. These will increase earsgasm at your desire.
Give it a try and report feedback!
Here is a screenshot of it.
Poweramp has unbelivable awesome effects, but it does not eliminate the base problem: miband (or any Bluetooth LE stuff?) affects the bluetooth audio transmission.

That is true and sadly a known problem of android in general. See http://www.androidauthority.com/android-wear-ruining-bluetooth-speaker-headset-sound-656300/
Solution
I might have a solution for some of you. Good luck.
Find it in my reddit post. I can't post URL's because i am new here. I only created this account for sharing the solution.

Bluetooth audio lag with DOSS soundbox speaker

Hi,
I am having this strange issue when i vonnect my mate 9 to the bluetooth speaker DOSS soundbox. There is a 2 second lip sync audio video lag while playing netflix/youtube or any other video app. The same doesn't happen if I connect to any other Bluetooth speaker. I have tried 2 other devices but they work fine.
I have tried resetting the bluetooth preferences and cleared the bluetooth list, unpaired repaired the soundbox. Cleared the phone cache. Everything. Nothing seems to work.
Can anybody help? Is anyone having a similiar issue.
Thanks!
Hi, same here, i tried with a bluetooth speaker of my friend but i tried only with music player. I used poweramp and audio had lags but when i switched to stock music player it worked just fine. Don't know about netflix or youtube and cant even try at the moment cause i dont own a bluetooth speaker

Non-Lagging Wireless headphones

Does such a thing exist? I would like to have wireless headphones and watch shows but normally there is always a lag that bothers me too much to even attempt it. Has bluetooth 5 or even 4.2 fixed this?

Don't use wireless headphones but, boeffla kernel allows direct DAC output, which may allow some improvement.
Else you can pay for MX player pro and adjust audio sync with any downloaded or streamed video mx can link to.
App based streaming, such as ITV player is limited to hardware. Bluetooth will have delay, because audio has to be converted to bluetooth transport with then must be converted back to audio. Plus the transport is slow in comparison to the faster DAC.
