Audio lag with Bluetooth Headset

I have a terrible problem. I'm proud owner of some Sennheiser MM550-X Bluetooth earphones/headphone and have problems while watching movies from internal memory and external sources like streaming youtube or from my NAS.
The audio has a terrible delay of something around 1-2 seconds.
Makes me wondering. I thought nearly every device supports apt-x for Bluetooth audio... Seems like aosp based devices didn't.
I google a little bit around and seeing hundreds of posts from people having the same problem. It seems to be a known issue since ICS but it is still present in JB. Google didn't fix it.
The problems seems to be caused by the integrated chip which handles wifi and Bluetooth together. If both is enabled the delay is much higher... It also effects games and system sounds like the tick sound from keyboard etc.
It also looks like some devs found possible fixes for that. Think I saw a post on transformer Prime forums from team eos who might have fixed that.
Is it possible for anyone to fix this problem. Are there any Bluetooth drivers to play around with?
I also noticed the same issue on my HTC One X which is also tegra3 powered but it is not so hard like on nexus 7. On iPod and ipad I have no delay issues, which proves that this is an android bug.
For anyone with the same problems I found out that dice player from play store fixes that issue for me for watching videos. It also have the option to adjust the audio delay manually. But this is only for watching movies... The system sound delay still persists.
Thanks and regards from berlin

AOSP roms simply don't support APT-X. you need to use a stock rom on a phone that supports it (one-x, gsIII, note 2, etc)
So the problem is - you're not getting apt-x.

HDMI broken after KitKat Update

My HDMI doenst work anymore. The image has really heavy noise. I can almost see nothing of my Homescreen. After a few seconds the picture completely dies.

Very unstable connection

For me it works for a minute or two. After that, two kinds of behavior
1. Native screen blanks out, TV output still seen.
2. TV screen blanks out. Very annoying.
But for the brief time it stays, I get both video and audio fine.
I have it connected to an Onkyo THX certified receiver. All other devices work beautifully.
Any ideas?? Any information on the same?

[Q] Sound not working?

Is anybody else's Nexus Player not outputting sound? It has been working great the first few days and now no sound would come out. I've tried several apps and games.

I have not had this issue so far. These are obvious questions, but they must be asked: Have you tried unplugging it for a while? Are you sure nothing else in your system (TV, receiver, etc.) has changed? Are other components (DVD player, Xbox, etc.) working fine through the same setup?
EDIT: Oh, and were you using the device when it quit outputting sound? Did it happen inside a particular app?
Thanks.

Maybe problem is the TV? Try unplugging HDMI then plugging back in. My TV has that problem sometimes with different devices including Nexus Player.

Check out your TV settings. I've had similar problem before where I was on an HDMI input but the TV was expecting sound from component inputs. Make sure TV/receiver is configured to take sound from that particular input. If you don't know how to do that try a different HDMI input.

I have the same problem. It sounds like a timing issue. I was able to work around it by running an app that has sound then unplugging the hdmi cable from the TV and plugging it back in. Make sure you use a app that will not pause playback when the hdmi is unplugged. Do not use the youtube app; I used plex. I just started a movie in plex, unplugged the hdmi then plugged it back in and I had sound.

Thanks. I got a new TV, and I was having problems with no sound on my Nexus Player. At first, switching it from PCM to Bistream audio fixed the problem, but it came back. Finally, a combination of plugging/unplugging with audio running fixed the issue.
I swear, between WiFi dropouts, this audio issue, and some other more minor issues, I'm really getting annoyed with this thing. It's buggy as hell. But when it's working, I do enjoy it. Ugh.

This just happened again for me, and unplugging/replugging had no effect. What did seem to fix it though was changing HDMI inputs while audio was continuously playing on the Nexus Player (I used Plex so it wouldn't pause). Just something to keep in mind if anyone else finds this thread looking for a solution to this problem.
I wish Google would put a little more effort into the Nexus Player. I love it, but it's buggy as hell. Asus has been pretty terrible with every device I've had of theirs, so I'm going to blame them. Either way, I wish the thing was more stable.

I've been having this too. When I come home from work the np will have no sound. Unplugging hdmi does not help. I have to reboot. Also, the np is not going into daydream mode like it should be. After all day being at work, as soon as I turn the tv on the np is still on the home screen. I'm not sure If this is related or not. I bought a fire tv and then ordered a nexus player thinking I was gonna return the fire tv, but after all the bugs I've encountered I'm considering returning the np and just keeping the fire tv.

A quick Google search brought me to this page. In my case, my Nexus Player had paired by Bluetooth, with my portable speakers which were turned off. So check if any audio related bluetooth devices are connected to your Nexus Player and then disconnect them.

LOL! Happened to me this week after I bought a brand new receiver. I thought my receiver was no good, I kept turning it up but heard a faint sound from the "Office" playing on the kitchen table. Turns out I had done the same.

Jesus, thanks. I lost power, and when it returned, my Nexus Player wasn't outputting sound. I saw your post, and then saw that my Nexus had automatically paired via Bluetooth with my VitaTV for some reason, which it was directing sound to.

I know this is an ancient thread but I have to do this each and every time I change the channel via the "live channels" app. Everything else (Kodi/Plex, etc) there is no sound issue.
Any idea why this occurs?

Similar issue. It seems like my Kodi somehow deactivated the sound.
I restarted the Nexus Player via the menu, started Kodi, waited 10 seconds and the sound come back.

Did you find a solution, i CAN get video output to my tv to work with the official nintendo dock, just not a 3rd party, though the 3rd party works fine for regular nintendo mode.

Trouble with Shield TV Pro (2019) and Dolby Vision

Hey guys,
today i got my all new Yamaha RX-V6A. Just installed it and I was shocked, that I'm no longer able to play Netflix/Plex/Kodi with Dolby Vision with my new AVR.
Dou you know what this can cause? Is there any possibility to bring back the function, especally in Netflix?
The Shield is turn on for Dolby Vision, but the Screen while playing movies is black - sound is okay.
PLease help

It could easily be your Hdmi cable. A marginal cable that previously worked may not be able to handle the higher frequency of Dolby.

I experience this on some Disney+ titles.

I think the hot fix addressed that. But I have 2017's so no dice for me since they will not pay the royalties on the older models.

I just got a Yamaha Rx-V6A two weeks ago along with a new Nvidia Shield Pro 2019.
Experiencing the same issue as you- but if you change the input on the receiver to a different input and then right back to the shield- the picture comes on screen. If you press setup or option on the receiver remote and the receiver setup or option screen comes on and then click exit or return to exit out of those screens..the picture comes on.
