This problem has persisted for me with previous kernels. If I disable wifi and use media on machine locally, the problem doesn't occur. Note: I've reverted back v4.18.0-13-generic and reproduced the problem for the apport-collect report. It started with Ubuntu 18.04 and continues with 18.10. It's particularly noticeable when the when saturating the WLAN connection with throughput, i.e. copying a large file sequentially across from a samba share, but also streaming video online results in the audio progressively delaying over-time. Re-establishing the Bluetooth audio sync restores the sync, but slowly creeps out again. I've upgraded my linux-firmware package to disco 176 to match v4.20 kernel drivers ref: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux- firmware/1.176 The ath10k_core driver that supports this device has a reference for btcoex: ref https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/core.c?h=v4.20#n2598 It's possible that the Bluetooth component firmware is not supporting or communicating btcoex compatibility, but this is starting to reach the edge of my ability to diagnose the problem. This btcoex support in ath9k has resolved/improved the Bluetooth bandwidth problem for older Qualcomm chipsets as shown in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1746164 As a troubleshooting step, I've also tried the very latest firmware-6 file from, but I'm continuing to experience the problem ref: https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/QCA6174/hw3.0/4.4.1 --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.10-0ubuntu13.1 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: berg 2871 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.10 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-07-02 (187 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) MachineType: Dell Inc.
