bluetooth audio lag in yosemite

My bluetooth headphones have severe dropouts since I updated to Yosemite, the interruptions are up to one minute.

I own these headphones for years, and they used to connect well all the time.

Now, they are virtually useless …

😢

Mac: iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X Yosemite

Headphones: Sony DR-BT21G

i too have this issue on my senheiser headphones

now useless.

apple - fix this, there are more of us out there!

Same problem here with a Belkin Bluetooth Audio Receiver. I really hope there will be a fix for it.

Did you ever find an answer to this? I'm experience the same problem.

Yup. Same here. Bose AE2w's. Really distracting. Ran fine with my 2011 MacBook Air running Mavericks.
With a brand new mid-2014 Retina 13' MacBook running Yosemite: stutterville.

I have the same problem. Audio lags, breaks and even drops connection with my bluetooth receiver. Disabling bluetooth and then reenabling does help sometimes. This needs to be patched.

Try this.

I had this issue where my Bluedio R+ Headphones were not working with Mac 10.10. I could connect my headphones with the computer through bluetooth but no sound. The fix for me was:

Connect your computer and head phones through bluetooth.

Go to:

System Preferences>Sound>Sound Effects>

where it says "Play sound effects through:" pick your headphones from the drop down window instead of "internal speakers" which was defaulted at the time.

Once I did this !!!!! I could hear again..

Hope this works for you.

I'm also having the same problem with my bluetooth Sennheiser headphones on both my mid 2011 iMac and mid 2011 MacBook Air. Whenever I use Spotify or watch a video, the sound is delayed and extremely choppy. I've had no problems with Mavericks so the only thing I can conclude that is causing this is Yosemite. But just to be sure, I reinstalled Windows 8.1, via bootcamp, on my iMac and with the same headphones I have no issues. The delayed, chopping sound only occurs when I use Yosemite. I really hope Apple fixes this with an update or something soon and doesn't try to blame it old hardware. Somewhere I read that Apple did this on purpose to make you think you need a new computer.

Oddly enough, this has pretty much worked for me (only tested for an hour).
Thanks!

Thank you, I tried it as well and now everything works as before! 😎

I'm having issues with audio lag on my bluetooth speakers as well. It happened after I upgraded to Yosemite. I have an older Mac, MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008), Yosemite, and Photive Cyren bluetooth speaker. The lag gets progressively worse over time. Very annoying. I see many others have the same problem, so I'm adding this message just to let Apple now that it's widespread. Hope this little bit help.

I have the same problem with the Yosemite update & the Bose Soundlink Mini speakers.

I don't know if it will help someone, but I will tell you my experience.

I have a 2013 MacBook Pro retina with 16 GB of ram.

When I installed Yosemite, the installer asked me to turn on File Vault, I thought my machine would be able to handle that fine, so I said yes.

Then I started experiencing problems, nothing too serious but annoying nonetheless.

Lag with the magic mouse.

Some applications were slower than normal.

I have fusion 7 and sometimes, the menu on the toolbar wouldn't work for a few minutes.

I turned off file vault.

Everything works great.

Same problem on MacBook Pro MID 2010
