Every time I connect my headset, the audio is extremely choppy and laggy, as if there's interference. However, quickly turning bluetooth off and then back on fixes it every single time. If I don't do this, it will go on being choppy for as long as I leave it. I have no 2.4ghz devices connected to my router, all of my other bluetooth devices work fine. Even other headsets work fine.
My device is:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0e8d:0717 MediaTek Inc. Wireless_Devicehttps://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth
Under general troubleshooting it says stop bluetooth and starting it in debug mode, when I type the commands it gives me I get:
systemctl stop bluetooth

I do not see anything more on the bluetooth wiki page about laggy/choppy bluetooth.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth_headset
On this page, under "Bad sound / Static noise / "Muddy" sound", it says I can try switching my codec. I don't think this is it, the sound is not low quality, it is choppy. I've gotten stuck on hsp/hfp mode before and this is not that.
It says to run:
pactl send-message /card/bluez_card.XX_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX/bluez switch-codec '"sbc"'I'm not sure what the XX_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX is, I assume it's my card number which is mentioned on another page, it says I can run "pacmd list-cards" however I get "pacmd: command not found"
"pactl list" gives me a number in a similar format which I assume is the same, if i do
pactl send-message /card/bluez_card.18_9C_2C_34_89_76/bluez switch-codec '"sbc"it makes no difference.
It says for "sound glitches" I can do
pactl set-port-latency-offset <bluez_card> headset-output 125000. This does not seem to help. Tried a few different values.
Where can I go from here?
