Bug Description

Hi,

I am unable to get my Lindy BNX-60 bluetooth headphones working with my Macbook Pro 15", Core i7, Mid-2015 running Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

I can connect to them but sound cuts in and out and sometimes disappears altogether.

Hello,

it looks you're using the open-source brcmfmac driver for your Broadcom device.
Can you try to install the proprietary driver (if available) from "Software and Drivers" to see if it can make any difference?

Thanks
