5. Additionally, inspect the area around the Bluetooth unit for any substances that may be blocking the Bluetooth signal. Clear away any obstructions to improve the connection quality.
Noise occurs when switching between LDAC and AaptX modes.| 1. This issue may arise when using certain external SPDIF decoders that do not support SRC (Sample Rate Conversion) functionality.
We recommend trying a different SPDIF decoder too see if the problem persists.
