Audio and Bluetooth devices lagging and malfunctions

Hey Ohad_Cloudinary,

Thanks for going through those steps and providing that info. If you’re still having issues, boot your Mac into recovery and run First Aid on Macintosh HD using the steps here:

Also, you mentioned doing an NVRAM reset, make sure you do an SMC reset as well:

If you still have issues, use Activity Monitor to see if there are any apps or processes that seem to be contributing to the issues:

As for the Bluetooth, remove the device, restart your Mac, and pair them back together using the steps here:

Take care.

Hey there Ohad_Cloudinary,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand you’re experiencing some issues with the audio and Bluetooth on your Mac. I’ll be happy to help with this.

You’ve done some good steps so far. To further isolate this, run an Apple Diagnostics and see if it reports any known issues:

If no issues are reported, check for any interference that could affect the Bluetooth:

Then disconnect any external audio devices from your computer. Also disconnect any cables from the USB, Thunderbolt, FireWire, or 3.5mm audio ports. If that doesn’t help, see if these occur in safe boot and a new user account as well:
