Sound with bluetooth

why do i get skipping audio sound with bluetooth

Hi jaybeefromvirginia,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that when your external Bluetooth speaker is connected to your iPad mini the sound quality is what you would expect but not when connected to your MacBook Pro. There may be a few different possible causes for an issue like this. Please review the attached articles for more information.

No sound with bluetooth speakers / aptX issue

Hello,
i can't get any sound from my bluetooth speakers. the bluetooth of my Z3c works perfectly with my Plantronics BackBeat FIT, but does not work with my JBL OnBeat aWake speakers.
i did already disable the throw function, but that didn't help.
when i connect my phone to the OnBeat, a popup on the phone say's it is connected to a aptX device. i am not sure if the OnBeat has aptX.
NB the OnBeat works perfectly with other bluetooth devices including my old Galaxy Nexus.
can anyone please help me with this issue?
Cheers

Have you checked the Smart connect app to see if it's a paired device and when playing music do you enable throw as you said you disabled it

IPhone 5 audio issues when paired with surround sound via Bluetooth.

iPhone 5 has developed audio issues since ios7 updates when its connected to surround sound system via Bluetooth. Audio jumps and skips in erratic and unpredictable manner on music app and worse on third party apps such as YouTube . Have restored phone from factory settings etc. Have also checked surround sound for fault with Bluetooth; iPhone 4 ios7 works fine, android works fine but newest iPod touch with ios7 appears to have developed same issue as iPhone 5 since ios7 updates. Advise people to check for this issue on their Bluetooth devices and any advice would be appreciated on this issue :)

Hey there Vxas,
It sounds like you are gettings some very unexpected behaviour from the iPhone to your bluetooth surround sound system. I would try the troubleshooting recommended in this article:
iOS: How to troubleshoot Bluetooth connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562
Check that you are in range of the Bluetooth device with which you are trying to pair your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Most Bluetooth devices have a range of approximately 30 feet.
On your iOS device, tap Settings > Bluetooth and find your device in the list. If your device says Not Connected, tap the name of your device to attempt to connect it.
Tap Settings > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off and then on again.
Make sure that your Bluetooth accessory is turned on and fully charged or connected to power.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Bluetooth and locate the Bluetooth accessory you are currently connected to or attempting to connect to. Then tap and Forget this Device. Try to pair your Bluetooth accessory again.
Note: You may need to re-enter your Bluetooth accessory PIN if your accessory requires one. Some common PINs are 0000, 1111, and 1234.
Restart your Bluetooth accessory by turning it off and then on again1.
Update your device to the latest version of software. See how to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If your Bluetooth accessory has upgradeable firmware, check to see that you have the latest version1, 2.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Bad sound pairing with bluetooth aptx.

Both me and my wife has an issue with pairing to external headspeakers with bluetooth aptx. The sound is very very bad (you can't even hear what musik it is) and high. We try to connect to a speaker without aptx and that is not a problem. Does anyone have an solution to our problem?

I cannot get my iPhone to connect with bluetooth to my Sony sound bar. I have tried everything. It searches and says underneath in the gray "Now Discoverable". Suggestions? It is the Sony 4-452-002-14 sound bar.

We just installed our soundbar and cannot connect our iphones with bluetooth. My friend has the same iphone (5S) and works fine.
He does have a different carrier (ATT) I have Verizon. I would not think that would matter. His iphone connection was immediate. We did repower the speaker and that did not work. My phone is searching for a signal and below that in the gray it says (now discoverable) THe powerbar is the Sony 4-452-002-14. Suggestions?

Hello, OhBuckeye.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes the issue may simply be resolved by placing the accessory in pairing mode. However, when experiencing issues with Bluetooth connections, here are a couple articles I would recommend going through.

Need help Using iphone5 with Bluetooth in 2006 Volvo xc90. I have paired my phone and can make calls. I want to play music on my iPhone using the car's sounds system.

I have just purchased a 2006 Volvo with Bluetooth. I have paired my phone with the car to make phone calls. I don't have a way to play my iTunes music through the cars audio system. Is there a special auxiliary adapter that I need to buy?

Nobody have notice this problem or have a tip for that?

Hi, Derek -
...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

MacBook Pro to Samsung sound bar Bluetooth not connecting

Hello all,
I recently purchased a Samsung sound bar with bluetooth connectivity. I can connect my iPhone 5s to it and stream music with no problem. But when I try to connect my MacBook Pro, it simply connects and promptly disconnects. I have tried shut down, restart, and even unplugging the battery on the MacBook with no luck.
I am running OSX 10.9.3 with all available updates.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,
Jerry

Same here I'm using a Samsung HW-H550 Sound Bar - Connect's with iPhone/iPad on IOS 7.1.1 on my Mac Book Pro Retina OS X 10.9.3. Having no joy even went down the root of deleting the Bluetooth Pref file didn't work either.
Looking forward to any workable solution

C2-00 Problem with Bluetooth headset

I use it for a week and have a problem with bluetooth headset.
When I finish a call my mobile is stop working.
The only way to get it back is remove a battery.
I try to use other bluetooth headset but it have the same problem.
Please help me to fix this problem.
Thank you.

conceivably, yes, that is how its supposed to work
i was just wondering if there was a way to turn it off somehow, so as to only enable the bluetooth for calls and not for all audio. unpairing and pairing the bluetooth definitely works, but it just seems like overkill everytime i want to anything regarding sounds (asise from calls)
thanks,
vasilis

Mac Mini HD errors with bluetooth keyboard

I have a Mac Mini with bluetooth keyboard. I cannot boot to OSX Recovery (command R). Yet I need Disk Utility to repair HD errors.

I found this link searching Apple Mac Mini Support: Apple Wireless Keyboards: Using startup keys. Tried this and it worked on the second try. Worked using Restart in the middle of the startup chime sound, not Shutdown.

I have an iphone 6 plus and have completed all the updates. However I still cannot use voice texting. I have Uconnect on my vehicle. I have read you do not have to turn on MAP it automatically turns on with bluetooth.

Trouble with Bluetooth Devices

I have a MacBook Pro 13" from late-2011. Recently I have decided to use Bluetooth headsets instead of wired earbuds because I tend to forget they are in my ears and when I get up, they are yanked out of my ears, hurting me and potentially pulling my notebook off of something. I had an LG Tone before getting my current Motorola S11-FLEX HD headset. I switched because of the problems I have been having with Bluetooth but switching has not solved the issue.
My biggest problem with my Bluetooth headsets is that the audio stutters and then de-syncs with any video. The de-sync can be as bad as a full second. I'll see the video's actions before I hear them. The de-sync also affects the responsiveness of controls. After I give a command, the audio will continue to play for however long the de-sync is before the command is performed. It's like it's making up for the lost time. The only solution I have come across is turning off the device, then turning it back on but that only works some of the time. Usually, I have to turn it off and then on again two or three times before the de-syncing issue disappears. I have no idea the cause as my LG Tone works to specifications with devices that belong to other people. I have found that moving my head in a certain direction will cause the de-sync. Sometimes, it's leaning back; other times, it's tilting my head. It's as if the Bluetooth field is planar and I'm jumping out of the plane.
Another issue is the distance I can be from my device. My Bluetooth headsets boasts being able to function perfectly as far as 30 feet for one headset but moving even 5 feet will cause the previously mentioned de-syncing if the audio is playing. If I pause the audio, I can move about 10 feet. After I move 10 feet, when I press play, the de-sync appears. It renders the function of being wireless to being useless. I wanted to Bluetooth so I didn't have to pause, take off my device, do what I need to do, and before coming back, putting on the device, and resuming play, hoping that nothing has gone wrong to cause a de-syncing issue.
A third issue I have is that sometimes, while listening to some audio of some kind, another program will make a noise causing the audio to cut out. My notebook or the web browser is not aware that audio is no longer playing. It's as if the new program has muted the original audio. The only cure: turning off the device and turning it on again and hoping it's working.
The last issue I can think of is that when I turn my notebook off for any reason, all Bluetooth devices are forgotten causing me to go through the hassle of repairing the devices again but many times, the repairing process fails and despite being on and not paired to anything else, my notebook is unable to pair unless I turn both the device off and my notebook's Bluetooth off before turning both back on.
Has anyone run into issues like this? If so, does anyone have any recommendations on how to correct the problem? The problem is on my notebook side as the devices work fine with other products. The LG Tone could be used across the house when it was attached to my father's Kindle Fire and when attached to my iPhone 5, I could walk 20 feet with doors and concrete between me and the device before any issues began (both devices had trouble with my iPhone but pausing usually fixes the issue so I don't care). Please, I need some advice and help.

Some details missing.
I have a Pioneer DEH-P7000BT. On telephone settings, everything OK.
When I want to sync to my Audio Bluetooth, I hear the sound in slow motion :-)
I have to delete the Bluetooth device on the radio, and re-syncing on Audio Devices and everything fine.
Same thing all the time.
When I had iOS 3.1.3 on my iPhone 3G, everything was OK.
I can't find Firmware Update for my radio.

How to listen/watch videos on ipad mini with bluetooth headset

how can I listen/watch videos (e.g You Tube) on ipad mini with bluetooth headset. The headset is paired but the sound comes only from the ipad mini internal speaker

I was the fan of this feature until ios 6 version. I have two mini ipads @ my home for my kids. It helped my kids a lot to play all the episodes within a tv show. Apple some how decided kill the features linked to someone's patent in ios 7, thereby they can avoid paying royalty fee to the patent holder. Even from the initial days there are lot of such features missed out in ipad, iphone or MAC. You might overlook these features as a consumer.
I will be surprised if Apple listens to this customer feedback.
I am seeing the same question being raised in many forums including within apple forums.

I have a Razor (Cingular) Phone with bluetooth. I sent a song file

I have a Razor (Cingular) Phone with bluetooth. I sent a song file to the phone which the phone accepted. But I cant find the file on the phone. The file was cut down in size so it will fit. Where can I find the file and can I make it a ringtone. The format the song was sent in was a .wav format.
Thank You

should it be a .wav file? Maybe you should use MP3 file. MP3 files are smaller too i think.
i just uploaded a MP3 onto my RAZR using bluetooth. I found it using the "Media Gallery" on my phone. The song was at the bottom in the "Sounds" list. For some reason the song title was blanked out on my phone, so i had to rename it. So if you're looking for the file, the name has probably been removed.

Problems with Bluetooth Status and Startup Times.

For the past little while my MacBook Pro has had slow startup times and the Bluetooth status icon in the Finder does not appear when I first start up the machine.
The Bluetooth status problem has only started in the last week or so. In order for me to get it to display again I have to open up System Preferences, go to Bluetooth, uncheck "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar" and then recheck it again and it will appear. Occasionally, it will show up on startup but to the right side of the clock when it normally appears far off on the left side.
As for startup times, this has been only recent as well. I upgraded to 2 Gb of RAM a few months back and everything was fine, now within the past few weeks it has been starting up much slower than it would.
These may not be issues that can be solved. I am debating whether or not I want to re-install Mac OS X or tough it out until Leopard comes along.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Aaron

Initially I thouhgt this problem with playback of music had something to do with bluetooth but I'm not so sure anymore.
The problems with music apps stop working correctly after connecting or disconnecting a bluetooth headset led me to beleive that it was a purely blutooth related problem. Now I think that this might have something to do with an incorrectly configured audio device.
The various symptoms so far that can be replicated
Frequent drop outs (short breaks of silence) in playback of music when using a blutooth headset, at least once per musical track
Frequent short moments of stuttering in music playback when not using a bluetooth headset
Drop outs/stuttering is more frequent when display is turned off
Music player freeze if bluetooth is turned on during playback, tapping play/pause doesn't work
Music player freeze if playback is turned off during playback, tapping play/pause doesn't work
If you use the playback buttons on the bluetooth headset immediately after connecting the bluetooth headset during playback with the standard music player you will get a message on the x10 display giving you the option to "force a shutdown" of the player
Ringsignals are stuttering and double speed when using a bluetooth headset
Sounds recorded at a sample rate of 11 kHz on the x10 (for instance using an app like fourtracks) will playback at double speed
