OK. If you wish to use Ubuntu 17.10 or later and still have a problem then please try the next step: Find an older kernel more in line with what 17.04 had (kernel version 4.10 or older): http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D
If you can find the kernel version it stopped working in then we can work with the kernel team to get a fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1738404 Title: Bluetooth sound extreme low quality Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I upgraded today from ubuntu 17.04 to ubuntu 17.10. I use 3 different bluetooth audio devices ( BT earphones, BT speaker, BT BOSE Soundlink speaker) , all of them worked properly on 17.04. Since the upgrade, the sound gets continuous interruptions/cracking. These sound interruptions and cracking are so annoying that I cannot keep on listening to music. I could relate this to the fact that a new BT stack has replaced the former in Ubuntu. If I use wired devices (hdmi connected screen+audio, the sound quality is good and as before) so the issue is related to the use of the new Bluetooth stack. I have not found a way to parameterise it neither. I have not found any similar report. "apport" seems not ot exist in thise version, I cannot find and execute it.
