Hi all,
I have problems with a bluetooth, specifically when I am listening music on my Bluetooth headphones.
I figured that when I am watching/listening Youtube,
sound stops for few seconds but on Youtube it is running normally.
Also while I am doing something , multitasking etc sound also stops for few sec , lags.
Is it normal for Linux ? I don't have such problems with my phone or Windows.
Thanks
No, read
We need more details 
Ahh..I know that..will post more when I get home

There is no other device in Network. I would expect a BT device hereā¦
Have you checked Archwiki about BT headphones and BT?
uppsā¦ I was faster than my wifi connectionā¦ here it is

Some more info > Garuda's PrivateBin
And yes, I checked Archwiki, followed the thread.
I am not sure, but I noticed that when I connect my bluetooth headphones or even turn on bluetooth on my laptop, wifi network went crazy. From no bandwith traffic at all, to slower wifiā¦ weird
It maybe a bug.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=261767
but I can connect them.. And listen ..but sometimes sound is laggy , like latency is borked
Because I believe you, I say it maybe a bug.
Have you read the linked report?
Yes 
So you understand it's not a distro bug.

There are possible causes, like āhost is downā. Are you sure there is no issue with exhausted battery?
Or it might be a bug.
IDK, not searched.
Firewalld can block BT?
no, my bluetooth headphones are fully charged
In bluetooth headset wiki, there are several sections about possible issues and what you should do to troubleshoot properly.
Please do your best.
I cannot enter in your office area, yet, but I will try harder.
