Dear guys, I am sorry for posting a question that could be answered. I tried searching a little bit but wasn’t successful in finding it. Please, help me with the problem as it is very annoying.
I am a Manjaro KDE edition user. And it has a problem with my Bluetooth headphones. The problem is random quick interruptions when listening to music or watching a video. I mean the sound is flowing well most of the time but sometimes it stops and immediately goes on. Quick pauses happen and they are really annoying.
I suggested that it is due pulse-audio server and decided to delete it and install pipewire. I did it but the problem remains. I am a quite novice with such things in Linux. So, I need help as I just fall in love with Manjaro and do not want to change a distro.
Thank you!
KDE version: 5.22.5
Kernel: 5.13
Yes, I’ve read it. Thank you. The problem with interference with wi-fi sounds most promising. But I am using a 5GHz band range and the problem still remains. Moreover, there is no difference between 2.4 and 5 GHz band range in my case. Sound glitches still occur.
Hello @gliese3
Is it the issue you can hear on this clip?

Whenever I boot up Raspberry Pi OS from the internal SD card it works perfect (with the exception of the have-to-rfkill-wifi bug they will not fix)
In my case and from the user observing the symptom perspective, it seems like either
- bluez or pipewire give too little processor priority to the thread, but it’s little to not related to CPU usage and mplayer does not warn the sound card is stuck as it usually does, or
- bluez is giving the radio the least power so the headseat cannot “listen” to it.
Same here, I’ve fallen in love with the distro for many reasons that simplify my computing journey, but if it can’t play music over bluetooth it’s practically rendered useless for me. Sadness!
First off, welcome to the forum @gliese3, and please read the thread on “How to provide good information” so other people more knowledgable than I am can help you out.
I’m getting this same exact issue too on my self-built Ryzen 5 desktop from three years ago with my brand-new Razer Opus headset. The dropouts become more frequent when I use JamesDSP or more apps playing audio at the same time. (I once used PulseEffects, but it got renamed to EasyEffects and is now Pipewire-exclusive.)
I’ve spent the last few hours trying to fix this issue, and any solutions I get from searching either reduced the frequency of dropouts or did nothing to eliminate them. I was considering to replace PulseAudio with Pipewire in an attempt to solved those annoying dropouts, but then I found this thread. Unfortunately, I couldn’t think of anymore solutions to this, but I just want to say that I’m not alone having this issue.

Hi @scarodj!
Thank you for the reply! Yes, the troubles are similar to those I’ve heard in the clip. But in my case, they have lower frequency and intensity. Actually, sometimes I couldn’t hear them for hours but sometimes they could arise several times per minute. I couldn’t find the tendency yet.
bluez or pipewire give too little processor priority to the thread, but it’s little to not related to CPU usage and mplayer does not warn the sound card is stuck as it usually does, or
Honestly, I had the similar thoughts. It seems that CPU loading may affect the frequency of glitches. I will try to play with the renice command.
Same here, I’ve fallen in love with the distro for many reasons that simplify my computing journey, but if it can’t play music over bluetooth it’s practically rendered useless for me. Sadness!
Are writing about Arduino? Do you try other distros?
Hi @acarasimon96!
Thank you for the advice! I attached the inxi information to the bottom.
In some way, I am also glad that I am not alone with the problem. I tried to find a solution via google but no one couldn’t fix my problem. So, I decided to ask for help here.
The problem is worse in the way that I can’t track it properly. It is quite random. The last thing I’ve done so far is update my kernel to 5.14.10-1 version. It seems like the problem arises rarely after that but I am not sure.

Same here. It goes from hours of uninterrupted, passing through the more frequent small to annoying interruption every other song to the rare round of interruptions I was able to capture there.
No, it’s Raspberry Pi 4 (8GB edition) I have only tried Raspberry Pi OS, but I’ll try Ubuntu 64-bit next. I was thinking of creating a thread on the ARM sub-forum but I see the same issue happens with completely different systems.
Oh, I am sorry. I meant Raspberry. Just doing some projects with Arduino right now.
Ok, understood. I tried some other distro (EndeavourOS, Pop!_OS) and the same thing happened everywhere, the same interruptions. I tried also different options for Bluetooth but it didn’t work. Maybe, I am not lucky with my headphones. Anyway, sound problems occur quite rare recently. I can live with it but I changed my distro to EndeavourOS with KDE.
Thank you for the reply! Good luck!
Hello,
I’m glad the issue is somewhat tolerable for you, good luck with EndevourOS. My workaround has been to use my smartphone for music for now.
I’ve been testing media (air waves) interference. I tried to listen at midnight when I know no one is using wifi at home and other business around have closed and there where no interruptions. Turn on wifi and produce some traffic and the interruptions happen.
It is my understanding that both Bluetooth and Wifi are shared media with collision avoidance for which they use packets that request time slots to other devices. Could it be that bluez is failing to request the needed time slots? I will try to reach out to the project itself.
I have bluez-5.62-1 in Manjaro stable, what version does your EndevourOS have?
Hi!
I don’t think the problem is due to wi-fi collisions. I tried Bluetooth headphones in almost wi-fi-free zone. No way.
I use the same Arch repos as Manjaro, I think. At least, I have the same version of bluez as you do.
P. S. Another big problem I had with Manjaro is total freezes. The system just stopped and I could do nothing. They were quite rare, say once per week but it was terribly annoying. I couldn’t find out what was the problem. With EndevourOS I have no such problem at least during a month. I came to the conclusion that I should use pure Arch and try to install everything I need by myself. Maybe, it will be my next step. Anyway, I just fall in love with Arch repos, super quick and easy possibility to install the software I want and KDE project. I am so thankful to all the guys doing such an amazing job!
