I recently purchased a TP-Link Nano Bluetooth receiver (Bluetooth 4.0) to pair my Realme wireless earphones (also Bluetooth 4.0) with my PC. However, the sound quality felt like an old radio, full of annoying artifacts that were quite bothersome. Restarting sometimes helped a bit. Here’s my setup: My Corsair Spec-01 case has separate audio and mic outputs. I also had a PowerA Xbox controller with a 3.5mm jack for headphones, which occasionally suffered from artifact issues too. After some research, I discovered that devices might not get enough power, impacting performance—especially for Bluetooth receivers. I connected the following to my PC: Keyboard (USB 3.0), Mouse (USB 3.0), Speakers (USB 2.0), Controller (USB 3.1), and Bluetooth receiver (USB 3.0). I’m considering this because the receiver works well on older laptops, O_o Thanks for your patience.

Are you certain the port you connected the Bluetooth dongle to is version 3.0? I'm asking because I have many devices connected at once and my Bluetooth headphones work fine on my PC, so maybe it's just a speed issue? Sorry if my explanation is unclear—I'm not great with words. If it really is 3.0, I won't be able to help further, but it’s worth checking.

huh, well then I am out of ideas, sorry. though I will say that I still don't think it's an overcrowding issue as again, I have more connected than that at any given time with no problem. good luck man, hopefully you are able to figure out the issue
