Choppy bluetooth audio

[kylerphillip]

When using Bluetooth Audio such as headphones I get choppy audio when listening to music. I'm using an Apple Broadcom BCM94360CD and also a MX Master 3 connected and also have handoff enabled just for a bit of background. Is there anyway I can improve this?

I don't have any audio bluetooth patches currently used so any advice would be great.

@kylerphillip,

If you are using a floor mounted tower style case and have the WiFi & BT antenna's directly mounted to the rear I/O of the system then the case will partially block the signal and the PC electronics can interfere with it.

I experienced choppy BT audio myself which I resolved by remoting the antennas, see this post for more info :-

[PRO TIP] Get better WiFi/BT Signal when using PCIe BT/WiFi Card in a Tower Case

A few months back I added a PCIe WiFi & BT card to my desktop Hackintosh system. The card I bought was based on the BCM943602CS chipset which is a 3x3 MIMO device and is natively supported by MacOS, these cards can be found cheap on eBay for around £30.00 (approx $37): The card included three...
