Bluetooth audio lag

I just bought a pair of bluetooth headset finally and I, too, am experiencing lag and / or sudden drop in audio quality. The headset in question is the Creative Sound Blaster EVO Zx and the OS I'm currently running is OS X 10.10 running on a 27-inch iMac (Mid 2011) [iMac12,2] . It is quite important to me, personally, that this issue be resolved soon...

using a 2010 macbook air with philips blue tooth speakers on yosemite. awful audio lag, the second i do something else on my mac, the audio will momentarily pause and return again. while i enjoy the new yosemite features, this is a very big let down

Hi, I've just installed OS X 10.10.1 (14B17) Beta and in my first test seem there isn't audio lag with my bluetooth Boise mini soundlink.

Later further testing...

If you aren't developer and want to test new beta version of Yosemite you can open terminal and digit:

sudo /usr/sbin/softwareupdate --set-catalog https://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-10.10seed-10.10-10.9-moun tainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.gz

Then open App Store and you find new upgrade...

Bye

Just tried it on my Macbook pro 2009 and it didn't work. Problem not solved.

😟 I confirm, Problem not solved.😠

iMac late 2009 - Bose Mini Soundlink

Agreed, not resolved. Can anyone from Apple comment, it would be most appreciated

Apple does not monitor these fora. These discussion threads are intended for users to discuss problems and solutions amongst themselves. The only way to get their technicians to respond is to submit a bug report.

I am the same boat as you. I hope they get this fixed very soon.

I submitted a bug report with a direct link to this post in the hopes that they would receive other bug reports as well and fix the issue with the next release of Yosemite. It's definitely out of our hands at this point anyway, and if everyone that posts here also sends a bug report (perhaps with a link to this thread too), that should get their attention, because this thread is growing large enough to show that everyone is experiencing these issues.

I'm experiencing this issue as well - has a Bluetooth stereo that I use to play music from MacBook Air, and with recent Yosemite upgrade (10.10 (14A389)), it started to lag a log. Lag time seems to grow over time, too - till some point (it doesn't grow to a minute, I mean - rather up to a few seconds), but it's still very annoying.

Same problem here, sent Apple feedback, hope it gets solved soon

Seems they have seeded 10.10.1 to Developers, but all the stories I've seen say it is concentrating on fixing WiFi and Mail. That's not to say the BT issue won't be included, or fixed incidentally, that's just what I've be seeing.

Any Developers following this thread ?

Same problem with a macbook pro 2009 and Neoxo receiver.

The problem is temporarily reduced when selecting Sonor Effect in the panel control, but it came back very quickly.

Months old MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) worked fine with Mavericks, but have progressively worse audio delay using any of several bluetooth headphones or my Big Jambox speakers.

This reminds me of when I upgraded to Mavericks and suddenly previewing images (with spacebar) went from instant in last OS to taking several unbearable seconds in Mavericks. Many threads exist on that issue, and Apple never fixed it. We already gave them our money, so they could not care less, I reckon!

Same issue mid 2011 Macbook pro bose soundlink mini lag in audio also lag in chrome and safari with streaming sound lag 4 seconds or so. And mavericks was working well.
