Bluetooth audio lag

Just updated (17th.Oct.2014) to OS X Yosemite. Im having trouble with bluetooth connection. There is an audio lag on my bluetooth headphone which progressively gets worse. Im using Sony DR-BTN 200. Is there a temporary solution until they fix it?


P.S. I found others with similar issues as well. Ive tried re-pairing the connection to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Same problem. Endless fiddling with bluetooth bitpool preferences hasn't fixed anything. Resetting PRAM and SMC and combinations of all those efforts didn't fix it either.. In addition to the audio delay to my bluetooth speakers (Vizio sound bar), eventually there will be some terribly irritating popping and interrupting in the audio. The popping problem showed up sparsely before I upgraded to Lion, but now it happens much more often. Before upgrading, I chalked it up to limitations of bluetooth, now, I'm pretty sure it's an OS problem. This is a subpar level of performance this OS is displaying and I hope it gets patched soon.

I have to say, i'm really glad I found people that can relate to my problem. But I to have the same problem you guys are having and I have no solution. This happens randomly for me and while it doesn't happen all the time its quite annoying that this problem exists. I hope there is a patch REALLY SOON, but i'm not going to hold my breath on this one.

I had the same prob with my soundbar. So I just bought a Lenovo Yoga and am never looking back to Apple.


Mac has been doing some shady things of late... updates that dont run ANY of my paid programs anymore and cause my battery to 'need service', incompatibility with other slightly older mac products, making my external that holds my time machine backups not work..


They have just turned to money-grubbing idiots. They had such a great product before... It's just turned to s*** now.
