After the Lollipop update I can finally get USB audio (DAC) working on every application but the sound is always stuttering with a lot of popping sound especially when it has high CPU activity.
Strange enough if I play music through USB Audio Player Pro it doesn't stutter anymore. Unfortunately I also use USB audio when I play games and that's where I have the problem.
I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the DAC, also Lollipop can normally handle USB audio nicely since the same DAC and OTG cable works flawlessly on my phone (Moto G 1st Generation) running 5.0.2 Lollipop.
Does anyone experience the same issue? Do you have any solution?
I have to address that I've done factory reset after updating to Lollipop.

I just got a Z3 compact. I switched from a Moto X that did not have any bluetooth issues (which is still in my possession in case I can't fix this).
Anyway, when I connect to my Pioneer MVH-X560BT stereo, music will play but the audio will drop out completely every few minutes. The audio will go out for around a second. It's not lag because the song doesn't also pause when the bluetooth audio drops. After a second audio will return. I have tried many apps (Walkman, Power amp, google play, spotify, etc.) and they all produce the same occasional pause. I have used a few different phones with this stereo and have never experienced this issue.
I bought my Z3c online from someone who had unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom ROM. I found out how to install the stock Sony rom with Emma and thought that would fix my bluetooth issues. It did not. I doubt an unlocked bootloader would affect bluetooth.
I have turned on the bluetooth log and installed the Xperia bluetooth fix app, but I was seeing if anyone here had any insight.
Bluetooth problem
I don't think your problem is related to the unlocked bootloader, I have problem even with the Bluetooth of my alpine, I have to pair the two every time I switch on the car stereo and even with the music over Bluetooth sometimes the z3c doesn't send the music. I hope for a future update because is very annoying. P.s. my bootloader is locked.

Exactly the same here
Yup, seems to be a problem at Sony's end - this happens for me with Sony Bluetooth headphones as well as with my car. Didn't happen with the Galaxy S4

Hi,
I have a Nexus 6 (stock 5.1, rooted but no other system modifications), a pair of Philips Fidelio M2BT Bluetooth headphones and a Watch Urbane (fully stock). When I connect the headphones to the phone with the watch already connected I get no media sound in the headphones even though they connect successfully. If I look go to the Bluetooth settings the headphones are listed as "Connected (no media)". Sometimes the sound is played on the phone speakers and sometimes nowhere. I can usually get around this by first disconnecting the watch in the Wear app before connecting the headphones and then the watch. Sometimes I also need to turn Bluetooth off and back on before starting to reconnect the devices and sometimes I need to reboot the phone. I've used the phone and headphones together for half a year with no issues whatsoever. Also note that I'm not trying to connect the headphones to the watch but to the phone.
Anyone else seeing similar behavior? Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

I don't have my Urbane yet, so I'm not sure if I can help. But when the phone is connected to the Urbane, can you edit the Bluetooth connection on the phone to ensure that it's not taking audio (I know it doesn't have speaker, but is it taking the Media Audio Profile?)

Thanks for the suggestion but no, the Urbane is listed only as a "raw" Bluetooth device, i.e. there are no check boxes for profiles in it's Bluetooth settings. In fact it's never listed as connected at all in the Bluetooth device list. I figured that this is some kind of Android Wear quirk but it's my first Wear device so I'm not sure.
I have the watch and my bluetooth speaker in the car and I have had no issues using both of them. I also have a third bluetooth USB adapter connected to the USB of my car that allows me to stream music and no issue with it either. I have the OnePlus One with custom firmware running Lollipop 5.1.1
My bluetooth speaker only has "Phone Audio" checked (no other options), the bluetooth USB stick has the "phone audio" unchecked and the "Media Audio" checked, and the Urbane does not have a check mark option.
Try updating the Android Wear app.. they released some update yesterday that might help fix your issue.

Thanks for the info. The new wear app didn't make any difference but the fact that you have a couple of Bluetooth audio devices working flawlessly made me start suspecting my headphones instead of the watch - didn't really know where to start so I picked the watch since it's the latest addition. Searched around a bit and realized that others were having connectivity problems with them too, especially when using them with multiple devices (fantastic headphones in every other aspect). This review was really interesting and the tip about how to reset the headphones did the trick for me. Not a great solution as I probably need to repeat it after using them with other devices than my phone but at least I now know that the watch is not to blame - it was just the trigger for some bug in the crappy headphone Bluetooth implementation.
Hi,
I bought tab s2 2 weeks ago.im mostly glad, but when i plug the aux cable to device sound doesnt transfer. Tablet still play music from own speaker, does not react to cable.
And i tried it on my car and my digital drum. When i plug my phone with same cable, it works perfectly.
Is there someone has the same problem, or any solution?
Is it hardware problem or just does not support aux ?
Thanks
8.0 version
Try Sound about on Google play
Not working too :/
My purpose of buying this, use this property. Now too bad :/
In the past I used the app toggleheadset2 from playstore to tackle such problem.
Hello Everyone,
I'm having this issue for some time and was trying to solve by myself but my resources are done.
Scenario: OP3T 128Gb OOS 4.0.2 (no root) playing music using Spotify on a car Bluetooth device (Toyota Corolla - picture of the stereo attached).
Problem: Audio cuts during play. I can also listen some noise indicating problems on audio transmission. Iá attaching a 1 song recorded in the car where is possible to listen the audio cutting some times during just one minute. It's impossible to listen music with this problem. So annoying.
No problems listening to music on other bluetooth devices like earphones or a audio totem. No problems listening using audio jack.
Workaround: When I do a Network Setting Reset the problem goes for a while, normally for a day. The problem come back after some time and I need to reset network settings again. I'm basically resetting network settings every day.
My wife's iPhone plays without any issue. I had a Moto X Style (Pure) before and I had this problema after flash some CM13 based ROMs, solved by flashing the original fw some times. (Moto X Style have some problems and if u flash modem and other thing once it won't work)
Anyone else had this kind of problems? So I need some help to figure out what is happening.
HELP!!!!!
Well, my bluetooth connection is stable. But sometimes when connecting to my car's bluetooth it starts playing music through the phones speaker instead of transmitting it to the car. I have to disable and enable it again - kinda annoying when the party is in your lap, at least while driving in a car.
Hi, have you experienced phone calls with usb C headphones?
It seems that they're ignored and calls happens only on speakers.
This happens also with other meeting applications such as Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. Everything related to "telephone" audio stream is not sent through headphone.
Multimedia audio stream (YouTube, Spotify, etc..) works fine with usb headphone.
I tried with two different kind of headphones, that works fine on my OnePlus 6t and my Hp Windows 10 laptop.
On Galay tab 8 (android 13 at this moment) it doesn't work.
Does it may depend on headphones? (DAC, other..)
It is quite strange that such a recent model does not work out of the box with usb wired headphones..
