Windows 10: Bluetooth audio stuttering. How do I fix it?

I have had a Bluetooth stuttering issue for a couple of months. I have tried to reinstall Bluetooth drivers and turned them off and on multiple times. My Bluetooth audio only stutters on my headphones Sony WH-1000XM4. I use the Bluetooth that is on my motherboard MSI Unify x570. I did not have this issue before, and everything ran fine for a couple of months, but then, randomly, this issue popped up. My workaround was to go to Services and restart each Bluetooth service, and that would usually solve the issue. I have the antenna connected to the motherboard, so I know that's not an issue.

Hi Fenrisian,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing Bluetooth Audio stuttering issue on Windows 10. In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, we would need
some information.

1. May I know the make and the model of the computer?

I suggest you to refer the ‘Audio’ section from Fix Bluetooth

Registry Disclaimer:

The registry is a database in Windows that contains important information about system hardware, installed programs and settings, and profiles of each of the user accounts on the computer. Windows often reads and updates the information
in the registry.

Normally, software programs make registry changes automatically. You should not make unnecessary changes to the registry. Changing registry files incorrectly can cause Windows to stop working or make Windows report the wrong information



I look forward to your reply



Thanks,

Bluetooth Audio stuttering

Recently upgraded my PC and reinstalled Windows 10.

I run my main audio through a Razer Leviathan bluetooth speaker and a headset through the optical connector for comms.

Never had any issues until recently, where any audio stutters when coming through the Bluetooth speaker. There's no stutter through the headset for any audio (comms, music, youtube, netflix etc) and there's no stutter if I connect the speaker to another
device such as my phone and hold it at the other side of the house. I recently bought a USB Bluetooth adapter in case it was something faulty on my new motherboard, but the issue persists with this device too.

I've tried reinstalling the drivers and reconnecting for Bluetooth and the speaker, but the problem persists. If I move the speaker, sometimes the signal cuts out entirely or it can be fine, but it has not been moved from the same spot on my desk prior to
the issue occurring so it's not an issue of the location of the speaker. There's no WiFi (cabled and disabled the WiFi option) and just a desk surface for the signal to pass through. Again, it could connect to my phone on the other side of the house and play
audio fine.

I'm thinking its a software/driver problem at this point.

Any suggestions would be helpful.
