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)

As someone said earlier. Apple dont really bother with these forums (Although i bet they are aware of it) . If we need to get their attention we have to submit a bug report , and the more people do it, the more chance they fix it fast.

Myself, i just bought a Chromebook for $270. Only way to solve the issue at the moment.

i believe this is Yosemite. I have a late 2009 8gb, SSD mac Mini, and had the same issues... the problems became worse for me, effecting all AV sources. Luckily, I had just upgraded to an SSD with Mavericks, and then CC cloned from my old hdd.


i wrote the following about a month ago...Hope this helps.


In a seemingly unrelated problem, If I tried to save a photo out of a browser, download an app, etc.. The access to disks was dog slow.


Further, I had the well known Wifi problem reported all over the web.


These problems persisted even after the latest update to 10.10.1


I have an SSD with Yosemite on it, but I had recently CCCd from a spinning mac drive which was Mavericks. Then I updated the SSD to Yosemite.


As a Sanity check, I rebooted from the old spinning mac drive into Mavericks, and just like magic, my chronic problems disappeared! All of them!


I have since CCCd the SSD back to Mavericks, and my Mac Mini is now lightning fast... no exaggeration.


In my opinion, this is a software-hardware interface or I/O software issue, which affects all devices: Wifi, HDD, Sound, Video, Bluetooth, and anything else you may have attached. I also feel that this “fix” will be a long time coming due to its far-reaching nature.


Let me know if there is a fix, till then, Ill stick with Mavericks.

people who have waited for 2 months for the functionality of their (pricey) computer equipment to work again, should not be told to "stop complaining"


there were many things Apple could have done, like test Yosemite properly before releasing it, or at a minimum acknowledging the problem right away, rather than just leave people twisting in the wind
