using bluetooth headphones with Nvda
Don H
new bluetooth headset and notice quite a lag when typing. Is this normal
when using bluetooth headphones?
Thanks
Snehashish Mahato.
Yep, that lag is super common whenever a screen reader user is dealing with any kind of Bluetooth device!
NVDA has some add-ons that can help fix this partially, but since I personally don't like Bluetooth devices much, I have no idea which add-on would be the best to avoid this problem. Plus, manufacturers are designing these devices to automatically go silent when there’s no audio signal to save battery. And, in this case, they’re implementing a specific type of audio kodak I guess.
Best wishes,
Snehashish.

Go into your device manager and find your Bluetooth adapter. Then in the power management tab of the properties, uncheck the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

Yeah, that would keep our machine’s Bluetooth driver active all the time and try to keep whatever Bluetooth device I’m using awake. But, like I said, these modern devices have some kind of mechanism built into them that decides when they go into “Standby mode,” and that’s no longer controlled by our PC’s Bluetooth driver.
In fact, I tried the steps you suggested with the portable speaker I’m using now—I connected it via Bluetooth to my machine—and it didn’t help at all. It feels like there’s a sensor inside the speaker that helps it figure out if what’s playing is actual media or something else.
Best wishes,
Snehashish.

I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve found it to work on the two computers I have. It probably also depends on the kind of Bluetooth speaker one uses.

Yep, that’s right. Which means I’m stuck using it in AUX mode all the time.
Best wishes,
