But whenever i play something in my bluetooth device there is some change in the above output.

I set a channel for wifi and it didnt help,
iwlist wlp3s0 frequency
wlp3s0 13 channels in total; available frequencies :
Channel 01 : 2.412 GHz
Channel 02 : 2.417 GHz
Channel 03 : 2.422 GHz
Channel 04 : 2.427 GHz
Channel 05 : 2.432 GHz
Channel 06 : 2.437 GHz
Channel 07 : 2.442 GHz
Channel 08 : 2.447 GHz
Channel 09 : 2.452 GHz
Channel 10 : 2.457 GHz
Channel 11 : 2.462 GHz
Channel 12 : 2.467 GHz
Channel 13 : 2.472 GHz
Current Frequency:2.442 GHz (Channel 7)
I think the problem is with Network manager or my driver configuration. Sadly i dont know how to fix it.
I have two files in the /etc/modeprobe folder. 8821cu.conf, for my usb adapter, and a iwlwifi.conf file.
my iwlwifi.conf file is configured as:-
options iwlwifi bt_coex_active=0 swcrypto=1 11n_disable=1
Hope these outputs will help you to guide me.
