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.
