Any progress or any alternate solutions for this issue?

[Saleh (salehbozeed)]

Still no solution for this problem?!

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

The "main" Bluetooth skipping problem was fixed a few months ago in Ubuntu 18.04 here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/1:11.1-1ubuntu7.1

That fixed the main bug in PulseAudio but there may remain some driver-specific bugs in the kernel like this one...

Are you using 18.04 or later?

[Saleh (salehbozeed)]

The last I was using Ubuntu it was version 17.04! I had to switch back to Windows because bluetooth is very important to me.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

OK. Please test Ubuntu version 18.04, or 18.10 (release tomorrow!).

In the meantime this bug will automatically close in 60 days if there are no more comments.

[Saleh (salehbozeed)]

Hello!

I installed version 18.10 and tested Bluetooth and the problem persists! the audio started skipping and then it disconnected the device.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Please also test after closing the Settings app. Does the problem persist with the Settings app gone?

Hi,
Problem still persists on Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo. Bluetooth headphones skipping sound when using WiFi.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

This bug is closed.

If you have problems still then please open a new bug by running:

  ubuntu-bug pulseaudio

[Miroslav Hadzhiev (xtigyro)]

The problem still persists. I can confirm it as well.

[ethanay (ethan-y-us)]

I have symptoms of this same problem in Pop!_OS 19.10.

Bluetooth audio connections stutter, skip or disconnect entirely during moderate to heavy wifi use.

[ethanay (ethan-y-us)]

However, my problem involves Intel 9650 Wifi/BT adapter not a Broadcom adapter. If it is the same bug, then perhaps it is a configuration issue.
