Speaker is fully charged, laptop is, so thats not it, and Device manager doesn't show errors, but something is wrong, because i took back and bought 3 different speakers thinking it was them, but alas its not the speaker to the HP Forums The HD audio built into my laptop works great, but again, soon as i turn on Bluetooth speaker it starts skipping during audio playback. I am lost because no one knows why, and nor do i. I thought maybe location, the speaker skips no matter if its right next to laptop, or same room, or different room, internet works, drivers seem to up to date Windows 7 says, but the speaker skips while on bluetooth.

The drivers says there up to date on both, so i thought maybe it was my HD audio from Realtek, but those are up to date, and the audio works fine once it isn't playing through bluetooth. Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 Bluetooth 4.0 adapter. In Device manager, it shows under 'Bluetooth Radios' 1. I have Windows 7 Profesional SP1 preinstalled from HP, took off McaFee virus that came with it, I checked Device manager, and all drivers are up to date it says, and no errors in Device Manager, connection is all full on both wireless internet and speaker connection, but it still skips during audio playback. I thought it was the speaker, took it back to best buy, bought a new BOSE mini 3 or whatever, and it STILL skips during playback! Tried another CD same thing, doesn't matter. I thought maybe it was my internet, so i turned off wireless internet and just played a CD in my optical drive in my laptop, and the audio came through the built in speaker great, turned on bluetooth speaker, it skips again, without internet. Turning off the bluetooth speaker, the built in speaker on my laptop (Beats Audio) plays great, no skipping. My issue is, every bluetooth speaker I pair to my laptop it plays music but every few seconds or so it 'skips' during playback. I needed bluetooth, so i got that installed.

I have a brand new HP 17t laptop, that was customized back in Septmber 2014.
