Please don’t uninstall the Windows drivers. Some quick points about your troubleshooting plans:īluetooth doesn’t troubleshoot like most devices, where you can swap devices from computer to computer or check against known good devices, due to the sensitivity of Windows to any conflict among Bluetooth drivers. The best way to check is to use a USB 2.0 extension cable six feet long or so (like this one: ) to move the adapter away from the computer and into line of sight with the receiving device. So I think we should focus on interference. It seems likely that the processor isn’t the issue. Some lag is always present with Bluetooth because of the processing necessary, but it typically happens fast enough that it isn’t noticeable. Any lag would be caused by a software, processing, or radio interference issue.

Buy a USB Bluetooth adapter from Best Buy and see if that has any delay.Ī Bluetooth adapter just acts as a radio conduit for the information given it to send by the software in the computer.

Try the Plugable USB adapter in another computer and see if there is any delay.

Uninstall the built-in Windows 10 drivers and install the drivers from the Plugable website.

I’ll take any advice I can get but I plan on trying the following troubleshooting tips: I’m not aware of any other 2.4ghz devices in the vicinity.

My Wifi access point operates in 5ghz mode only (no 2.4ghz). I use hardwire Ethernet throughout my house to minimize wifi interference.

Although I don’t experience any stuttering, or cut outs. CPU utilization is rarely above 10% per the task manager. It’s a 6th gen 3.3GHz i5 quad core desktop processor, Z170 chipset, 32GB 2133MHz DDR4 RAM, all solid state drives. Processing power, I have a hard time believing.

The adapter is plugged into a USB 3.0 port on the top/front of the desktop computer. The adapter is about 3 feet away from the receiving device.

Is bluetooth dongle 2.0 good for audio
