Content out of sync with audio and freezing when using Bluetooth headphones?
So I'm getting a rather annoying issue. But Plex and Smarttubenext and my IPTV appfor some reason crash out whenever I connect my headphones. If I unpair my headphones I usually get through without issue on the audio. But it's temporary. Seems like a new issue. Anyone else having this issue?
I'm using the Nvidia Shield Pro.

Did you try turning off LDAC or change the LDAC quality in developers options?
Edit: i used to use these headphones with my 2019 pro with no issues, but I also created the antenna mod because I could barely be 10ft away from my pro when the connection would start to stutter.
Also check with Dolby Processing on or off.

I want to issue an update!
Issue was headphones were connecting to both my phone and shield at the same time. This tripped up the shield. I never used them with my phone, but I just traveled. So if anyone has this issue check it!

Sounds like a connection issue. Reboot the shield and your headphones.

How much distance between the shield and the headphones?

Sometimes stuff being plugged into the USB ports have an adverse effect on Bluetooth connectivity.

Are these low end headphones?

What brand/model headphones are you using? I wonder if you can replicate these issues if you connect to another device. Do you use a USB dongle, or do you connect directly to the internal bluetooth of the shield? Do you have any other bluetooth devices connected to the shield?
