pipewire bluetooth headphones stuttering and lagging

Using pipewire and bluetooth headset, getting stuttering sound and lagging with sound on video.

From the wiki :

Bluetooth devices
PipeWire handles Bluetooth audio devices if the pipewire-pulse package is installed. More specifically, the media session daemon checks for /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/with-pulseaudio, and enables its bluez5 module automatically if the file exists.

The configuration is located in the bluez-monitor configuration file, either /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/bluez-monitor.conf (for system-wide configuration) or ~/.config/pipewire/media-session.d/bluez-monitor.conf (for user-specific configuration). A template for the configuration file can be copied from /usr/share/pipewire/media-session.d/bluez-monitor.conf.

ls /etc/pipewire/media-session.d/with-pulseaudio
ls: cannot access '/etc/pipewire/media-session.d/with-pulseaudio': No such file or directory

Bro, what if I don't even have "/etc/pipewire/media-session.d/" folder. And the rest folders in pipewire are empty

Re: pipewire bluetooth headphones stuttering and lagging

The solution was to dump pipewire.

Of course this was 2.5 years ago so maybe it's better now? Don't know don't care.

As you still wrote it, maybe you could add a couple of details on what you exactly did
