Linux can provide a fast, secure, and modern desktop computing experience. However, Bluetooth audio on Linux sucks.
Bluetooth audio cuts out intermittently
If you experience 1 second gaps of silence approximately every 300 seconds of Bluetooth audio playback, this post may help you.
Try adding this line to the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file
sudo su
cd /etc/modprobe.d
nano alsa-base.conf
add this line:
options snd-hda-intel model=generic
save and exit
reboot
Can you use a wire instead?
A dear friend, of the same generation that refers to “Walkman jacks,” first helped solve this problem for audio at work from my personal laptop: by gifting a sound bar that can plug into an actual 1/8″ analog audio headphone jack.
(My friend also sent a USB-C plug to 1/8″ analog audio jack adapter, which I do not yet need, but have packed into my accessories bag, for use in the near future, when my next laptop will have even fewer ports.)
No Bluetooth microphone support for Linux
There are technical and historical reasons for why there is no Linux driver support for Bluetooth microphones. My suggestion is to invest in a wired USB headset. Logitech is a safe choice.
