Hello! I wanted to imptove the audio quality of my home/nest setup but I'm having problems with the bluetooth playback of all of my home/nest devices, whatever the content I'm playing, wether spotify or youtube or netflix, the audio cuts for 0.5 -1 second whenever I start playing something, and if I'm listening to a song once the next one comes up it starts just fine but after a second or so the audio cuts again for another 0.5-1 second, the audio cuts but the playback continues so it's not like the audio pauses and then resumes where it left off, it skips parts of the song, it's like bluetooth turns off and on again after every song (however the bluetooth device doesn't make any connected/disconnected announcements). I've seen some posts with the same issue but no resolution and they were all closed, however, I've tried many of the suggested steps in those, but to no avail.
I've tried with 4 different bluetooth devices and settings, all within good signal ranges, all of them have the same issue, I've tried with a Home mini v1 and two Nest hubs v2, same behavior across all google devices, on top of that I deleted my home group, unlinked every device and created a new home group to see if it would help, can confirm that also didn't work ☹️.
I can confirm all of the bluetooth devices I tried have flawless audio playback when connected to other sources, like a phone or a laptop. I've looked for "playback over bluetooth" videos on youtube to see if it was a general issue, I found one where a Home mini was paired to a Bluetooth speaker and playback didn't seem to skip anything, that makes me wonder if it's a bug from a recent firmware update (the video was 4 years old) or something similar.
What else should I try?
I'd appreciate any suggestions you'd have, I'm going a bit crazy with the issue 😅, I tried to be specific in what the issue is and what I've tried so far but let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
