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)

I just had a chat with somebody in the support chat. S/he said s/he'll make a note and I'm getting a call back, too.I think this might get more attention if as many people as possible bug their team.

This is how you do it for free even if you don't have a protection plan:


1. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com/

2. Select your device/problem

3. Select you'd like to chat

4. When prompted, enter your serial number

5. You might either still have a protection, then just go. If not you'll be prompted to pay for the chat.

6. Don't pay, just select "Request and exception."

7. As the reason for the exception choose "I recently purchased Mac OS X"

8. Tada. State your case.

Hello


yep, reported on every possible channel I could find. No angry talk, nothing like that, just calling their attention to the detail


now, as I follow most of those websites, I also know that, even after it's been reported on them, it still takes a while for apple to react. The only thing making them work fast is a lot of feedback. Just a few guys won't do it. Which is perfectly normal, given the number of clients they have. That is why we have to get leverage on this thing, so that they can distinguish it from every other guy who drops his Mac and starts saying Yosemite broke his laptop.

Having same issue. Macbook Pro mid 2010. After updating to Yosemite, whenever i play videos with audio over bluetooth the audio is delayed after a couple of minuts and the delay increases the longer it plays. If I pause the video, sound keeps playing until i catches up with the imaging. The problem is not consist, but it occurs very often, like 4 out of 5 times.

late 2009 macbook 13"


Also seeing this issue on Yosemite. Was perfectly fine with Mavericks, Mountain Lion and Lion. On my macbook with Yosemite I've tried with a few BT speakers and all of them are having sound lag. I then connect those BT speakers to my other macbook running Lion and they are work normally without lag.

Guys, please stop posting "Same problem here".
Ok - good to know - a lot of people (maybe everybody) who has a bluetooth speaker and/or headphone has this audio lag problem.

No real solution yet, only downgrading to Mavericks (a part of buying a not apple product and trash the one you have).


Please just fulfill the form here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html


Let's hope Apple will solve the problem soon.


Have a good day!
