I recently bought a Bluetooth headset (Philips SHB4000), and got it to stop sounding like a phone after I told Linux (Mint) to use A2DP rather than HSP/HFP.

However, there's still an annoying crackling sound that I'd like to get rid of.

Some googling suggested that the "bitpool size" might be to blame, but I couldn't find any info on how to increase it on Linux. I know it's probably in some config file somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it.

  • [This mailing list thread](http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.kernel/17075) looks promising -- it mentions setting bitpool size in `~/.asoundrc`, which is described [on the Alsa wiki](http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Asoundrc). – Aaron Miller May 23 '13 at 22:19

A possible solution for your problem is: set A2DP bitpool size in ~/.asoundrc file the maximum size depends on the device you want to use. You can take a look at http://vlsd.blogspot.nl/2013/11/bluetooth-headphones-and-arch-linux.html. Hope it helps.
