Bug Description
Constant stuttering sound, stuttering at maybe 10 times/second. More than one speaker with the same symptoms.
Speakers work in Windows 10 / macOS 10.14+ running on same hardware.
Same speakers work on Ubuntu Mate 18.04 32 bit running on different hardware.
Remote control commands work (play/pause button on speakers).
Initial pairing and connection requires from 2 to about 10 retries. All tested within 1 m distance.
