- CoastalCoder 4y agoI'm using Pop!_OS 22.04, and I still have serious issues with bluetooth quality. At least for my setup: laptop <--> AirPods. AFAIK this version of Pop!_OS is using pipewire, so I wonder if there's still more work to be done?
- RosanaAnaDana 4y agoThere has been a war raging over at r/pop_os over the quality of the 22.04 release.
- Kudos 4y agoAnecdotally, Bluetooth audio is now better for me than on my Windows (same hardware) and Mac devices. From poor quality to higher latency, Pipewire's made quality at least as good, and latency the best of the three OSes.
- johnday 4y agoSeconding this. On my c.2020 high-end laptop running Win11, from switching on my BT headphones to hearing audio through them takes around 8 seconds and sometimes requires manual intervention. On my c.2013 laptop running Arch+PW, 3 seconds.
- alaricus 4y agoThis is also my experience. Pipewire is better than Android or Mac.
