I have a 21.5" late 2012 iMac that I just upgraded to El Capitan (OS X 10.11). Now all of my music from iTunes or Radium sounds choppy on my Bose Soundlink Mobile Speaker II. It worked fine on Yosemite. Anyone having a similar issue with any Bluetooth speakers?

I am have the same problem with El Capitan I am using JBL Charge 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker works fine when use iphone 6 to play music.
But on my MacBook its a no go very irritating I use the same set up for my online classes and get the same results. I connected the speakers to my ipad no problem and friends pc no problem. "a is pnt m eady to rouh ut indow" lol thats what Im dealing with trying to use for school. "What th **** pple"
Guess I will be going back to Yosemite. Xcode has turned to **** freezing and shutting down unexpectedly also.

My keyboard is usb?
Then try restarting your mouse or trackpad if thats Bluetooth
Same problem for me with my bluetooth headset Pioneer SE-MJ561BT and I have nothing else connected to my Macbook air 11 late 2014. Lags in Spotify, streaming in Safari, VLC and so on.
Worked fine with Yosemite.
Tried reinstalling El Capitan, clean install, deleted boot camp, terminal trix....
My bluetooth speaker seems to be ok.
Bad betamisstake of Apple!
Using Jabra Revo headphones, same problem. Disabled all devices, except the headphones, still choppy. Submitted bug report to apple (
23053202).
Issue is still open.
Reverted to Mavericks (I was using that before upgrading to Mavericks), headphones work fine.
27" iMac 2013.
I have same chop on Yosemite .
my chop is back...it was gone for a while
I too have choppy sound using a Bose Mini Soundlink but ONLY when I have focus on a Safarin window. 😕 No need to close Safari, it just helps to switch focus to another application and the sound is flawless again. Guess I won't be using Safari anymore. Back to Firefox for now.
Edit: using El Capitan 10.11.1, Safari 9.0.1
Help!
Same issue. Can't even watch youtube using my Beats Wireless. Apple, please respond.
Reverted back to Mavericks until this is fixed. Sound works perfectly. I do not see much benefit to upgrade when the hardware doesn't work properly with the new OS.
I have this issue every week or two. I am using Edifier Spinnaker bluetooth speakers, Apple Bluetooth Keyboard, and Apple Bluetooth Trackpad. When it presents itself I experience choppy audio with a corresponding hiccup in the bluetooth trackpad. I know the issue is between my trackpad and speakers, as disconnecting either will resolve the issue of the other. Immediately re-connecting either device will cause the issue to come back.
My solution so far is when it happens is to just turn off both the keyboard and mouse for ~1 minute (hold the power button on the side to turn the device off), and then turn them back on.
EExactly the issue I'm having. Powering them off resolves the problem for awhile
I have the same problem. the following command seems to fix the problem:
defaults write com.apple.BluetoothAudioAgent "Apple Bitpool Min (editable)" -int 40
Paste that on your command line and it might fix your problem.

I just tried the command line trick. I thought it worked for a while but alas, no-joy. Thanks for the suggestion.
My workaround is to keep System Preferences' Bluetooth panel open. No choppy audio anymore.
I have the same issue. Using a Mac Pro and Harmon/Kardon Aura, if I play anything with sound the sound and mouse movement is choppy. Haven't found a fix yet, I can temporarily fix the issue by restarting the Mac but it comes back soon after. Really frustrating.
El Capitan - bluetooth streaming choppy
