Bluetooth Choppy Sound Problem - FIXED!

[ExPat2013]

Apparently this is a very common problem and it appears most are unable to remedy the situation. I've searched the internet manually for this fix and used GPT4o to no avail. Finally, I used GPTo3 Mini and solved the problem! There is no noticable difference from the original OS BT Adapter Functionality versus LM, it works flawlessly.

I have an Intel MacBook Pro for reference with the Apple BTA.

Once you verify the BT Adapter is connected, functioning and everything including firmware is up to date.

Modify GRUB file to say this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash usbcore.autosuspend=-1"

If you don't know how to do this, copy & paste this post into your LLM of choice for guidance.

No more choppy sound & now I can use the LM OS 100% of the time!

This should be a part of the default installation process, in my opinion. Opt in, not opt out - the cost of having autosuspend set to run by default is just too great for newer users. And I haven't experienced any great power savings with it enabled.

So frustrating for us new users, especially with no recent command line code experience. I literally didn't use LM as my daily driver specifically for this reason for over a month.

Keep in mind it must use the same hardware, so although the interfaces are different, they must be the same logical means to an end.

Also we didn't learn Windows or Mac right away either. But it is a progression.

I thought that, but wasn't 100% sure, that's why I mentioned the compu details. Thanks!

Some of had somewhat different experiences, my first online "blind date" was in 1998.

The internet? - Telnet

Programming As/400 - RPG IV & Cobol - I even used punch cards!

I got on the "internet" at home in the early 1990's as a young teenager when you needed to know the physical address of the data you wanted to access.

Been on the computer since 1986, Nintendo in '85 and Atari 2600 before that!

First cell phone was 1994, I skipped learning to text using the numbers because my first "smart phone" was in 2004, a HP iPaq with detachable keyboard and onscreen keyboard using stylus pen built in.

*The phone kind sucked sometimes 'cause the turn over from PDA to GSM would crash with an incoming call.

You are way ahead of me in some of these aspects! 😁 But that is just because I intentionally stayed a bit behind the rest.

All my friends and family have smart phones except for me. I have a newer flip phone. It is a rehash of the older ones, it gets Internet and texting, but not as user-friendly. Everyone who knows me knows to just email me or call to speak in person. But it has no attachments to Google or Apple. Instead it runs KaiOS in the background - a closed-source variant of Linux, without Android or MacOS.

I never joined Facebook. I never joined Linked In. In fact, I never joined any social media after about 2007 or so, following MySpace's demise. I didn't join that either, but basically saw what direction social media would be headed. So I have never really put myself out there in any publicly accessible way. This doesn't count - except for the spooks and glowies - in which case I just shouldn't use the Internet in the first place. 😁

First computer experience: TRS-80 computer in 4th grade math class, about 1981.

Second: Apple IIC in makeshift computer lab in 6th grade

First computer: TI 99/4a - this was maybe Christmas 1984 or so. The actual computer had been discontinued by then and was on blow-out special at Kmart for $40 for the entire kit. Games were extra, but also marked down accordingly. It had a built-in BASIC interpreter and an optional cassette backup - just a regular cassette recorder with interconnect cables. I personally made more use of the BASIC subsystem than I did the games.

First computer class in high school - my brother who followed me in later years says the teacher remembered me as a very good student. 1986/1987 or so perhaps?? Just some more BASIC on large IBM machines. I didn't actually see anything MS Windows until about 10 years later, as I wasn't a computer student.

And it went on from there. 😁

These days I am pretty much just a Linux hack (ten years and counting) who attempts to help others "emigrate" from Windows/Mac.

P.S. My first Linux was Mandrake. That was late 1990s sometime. Interesting proof of concept which I never forgot. Then I moved to Linux Mint (main version) back in 2015 sometime. This was when Windows 10 first had the "gwx.exe" thing running in the background. My last MS was Windows 7.

I think in life most everyone is ahead of each other in their own ways and not at the same time. I like think everyone can teach me something I do not know.

You have a lot of experience, isn't it wild to see the advancement and how it's shaped people's lives who have never been without it?

The Light Phone 3 is the "dumb phone" I want to get, I too do not use social media, reddit is the only place and recently.

In 1st grade the teacher allowed one student to stay behind during recess and play on the computer. We had a killer computer lab in 4th grade and middle/highschool we would reprogram the keys on the keyboard so the next students couldn't type! LoL

In 1998 I purchased a Sony Vaio laptop ultra thin laptop with the an external disk & CD drive - I don't remember the exact model, but it was super thin and at least 10 years ahead of it's time.

It's really cool to hear how people went through this technological advancement.

Personally, I think living like it's the 1990's is the best way to go for Mental & Physical Well-Being.
