a2dp bluetooth headache

I have an Asus G1 and Moto S9 headset. When used w/ my laptop the dropouts are enough to make me want to toss the s9 in the nearest open sewer.

There is considerable lag as well (when playing a game, the gunshot comes a second or two after pulling the trigger)
What can I do to improve my bluetooth in my laptop for audio purposes (and gaming)?

 

better/newer drivers? maybe the game settings are too high it's maxing out the system resources.

 

I've seen that many of these types of problems are reduced/emliminated with newer bluetooth drivers. Also, if your running XP, make sure you don't use the bluetooth drivers that come with XP, as they are quite terrible.

If your headset came with software, make sure to try it out. Sometimes the manufacturers know there is a lag problem so they make software to fix it.

Make sure that there isn't a ton of 2.4 GHZ wireless signals in the air. Your bluetooth adapter may be changing channels so it doesn't overlap with other wireless signals.

Make sure your game isn't severely taxing your system, or else your processor won't be able to keep a steady stream of sound going to the bluetooth adapter.

 

I'm getting 180 fps in the game in question, hardly taxing the system.

I am using the latest bluetooth drivers from toshiba.

 

uninstall your bluetooth drivers via add/remove programs, and then also, before restarting, uninstall it from device manager if possible. Then restart and reinstall everything.

Try other bluetooth devices if you can. Other headsets too to rule out what hardware is causing the problem (ether the laptop or the BT device)

Turn off your Wi-Fi AND router(s) and game for a bit with the headset on.

turn off anything that is running unnecessary in the background (antivirus, spyware shields etc.).

 

hi everyone...

i better open a new thread

 

oh this thread appears on the top so people can see it as new ... i'm quite new here : P
*don't regard the previous msg*

 

I thought bluetooth audio inherently had lag. As in, the audio will never be in sync with any video/graphics?

Listening to music is just fine, but trying to watch a movie is torture

 

Bluetooth mice don't lag otherwise people wouldn't be using them (especially for gaming). On HowardForums some insist that I should be able to use them as a gaming headset latency free.

Here's another question.

I have an a2dp (ad2p?) cellphone. Can I treat my bluetooth laptop/pc like a stereo audio bluetooth headset and send music from my phone to be played on my PC/Laptop? This would be pretty sweet to do because I could control my music being played (My PC is my stereo in my entertainment center) via my cellphone.

 

yes, you should.

 

I just wanted to give my input on this subject. My Dell 355 module stinks on the a2dp setting. I know it is just drivers though, but a product that does work really well for a2dp is any Bluetake product. I have the 7000si which works perfectly for a2dp!
