Audio stutter when using Bluetooth speaker (and fixed)

[lkasahi]

Hi. I ran into an issue that whenever playing video on Smarttube on Google TV, audio randomly stutters when playing through a Bluetooth speaker. This had irritated me a lot as my screen has only a mediocre speaker and Google TV has no 3.5mm audio jack. I googled and tried to fix it with no joy for several weeks. I was frustrated, but one day I had an eureka moment, and eventually I fixed it.

Turns out, the Wifi signal (2.4GHz) was interfering with the Bluetooth signal (2.4GHz also). I set the Wifi to use 5GHz only and the issue resolved. Moving the Bluetooth speaker away from the Google TV might also help (I didn't try it though).

I read the FAQ section and no such thing was mentioned. No similar issue was submitted also. I don't know if it was appropriate to submit the issue here, but I thought someone out there might had the same frustration, so I hope this message helps.

Thank you yuliskov and the SmartTube community for providing such a great experience.
