Bluetooth audio skips when waking a bluetooth mouse

[Vadim Andreyev]

When I use my Bluetooth A2DP headset together with my mouse, I notice this:

Whenever I leave the mouse still for a few seconds (it seems to enter some kind of lower-power-mode) and then start to move it, my music most of the time skips for a second. This makes using these two bluetooth devices together quite annoying...

It exists with every bluetooth adapter and any mouse.

It looks like you've made some changes to power management that might have caused this bug.

Please try using powertop (or whatever you use already) and ensure your mouse or bluetooth adapter is never set to sleep.
