i have a nice pair of cowin e7 noise cancellation headphones currently connected to my PC via bluetooth. My issue is that even sitting still I get this random disconnect where the sound cuts out for a split second. I have the Bluetooth adapter plugged into a rear USB port, and the drivers are all updated. Is this issue related to the headphones or to the USB/Bluetooth adapter?

Try moving the adapter to the front of your PC. If you notice any improvements, that is the reason. Have wireless interference.

I was thinking about doing just that! Thanks for the suggestion!

so, despite my friend's "knowledge" moving the adapter to the front made all the difference! He tried to say since the front ports are USB 3.0 and the back were 2.0 that it would cut out more, because 3 draws more power :/  I really have no idea where he gets his information, since moving it to the front I have been able to walk around the whole house with minor interruptions (walking into a room, etc) otherwise it seems to have made all the difference!

Whatever defines your relationship with your friend, you should untag "tech expertise" from your mental bookmarks.

 

USB 3.0 PROVIDES more power and if a device was cutting out due to lack of power, then the opposite of his advice would make sense. The point of having more power AVAILABLE is to run hard drives and other peripherals without needing external power adapters. Obviously none of these considerations would apply to a Bluetooth dongle unless you had hot-rodded it to beam high energy X-Rays to the Mothership.

 

The Bluetooth device is a Radio with an Antenna and follows the irritating "Line of Sight" rules and "Inverse Square Law" and Interference rules of all radio devices.

Maybe run a patch to the Bernoli Convergenatator, to re balance the Girdle Springs, it should then fix the Rockwell Trunion. :p

I'll just call @TAZMINATOR and use his power supply! :p

A long time ago I had a friend that worked as an auto mechanic and he got bored with the need to describe his repairs to customers that obviously understood nothing of the explanation and since these people who had no chance of understanding would still ask for a description of the work done, he eventually found some solace in your wonderful device descriptions. Beware the Veeble-Fetzer in your car. It is a common source of break downs...

My friend has allot of knowledge, it's just not in everything he thinks it is. That is his biggest problem, he spends all day reading 'junk' from tech sites as well as others and he will swear that this is the gospel truth, etc. when it really might have been a year or so ago, he can;t seem to differentiate between what is now and what was,,,

    • Xbox Insiders get Xbox 360 achievements and Gamertag character upgrades

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Xbox Insiders get Xbox 360 achievements and Gamertag character upgrades by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft is continuing its fast-paced update schedule for Xbox Insiders. Today, the company announced a new slate of features it is rolling out to Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring, which includes an expansion to the gamertag system, Xbox 360 achievements, and more. The unique Gamertag that Xbox users can choose for their profile is getting more characters. Instead of the 12-character limit, Insiders will now be able to get a Gamertag that's 15 characters long. The 12-character limit will still apply to Gamertags that are not unique or contain any non-Latin characters. Meanwhile, Microsoft is adding Xbox 360 game support to its Game Hubs. Selecting an installed Xbox 360 game on a modern Xbox console will now show achievement progress, captures, and other information. Achievement pop-ups are back for these classics too, which should be good news for achievement hunters. The next change is for Xbox players who can't wait to jump into their games when an update is required. "If a game requires an update and is available to stream through your Game Pass membership, you can start playing immediately with cloud gaming while the update downloads in the background," explains Microsoft. The final change of this Insider update is once again to the game cards. Insiders will find that all games, both released and upcoming, will now have a simple button to add to their profile's wishlist, making the process much easier from a single place. This Xbox update is rolling out today to Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring. As usual, Microsoft aims to bring it to more Insiders over time before they reach all Xbox owners. Head here to find out how to join the Xbox Insider Program to get a chance to test these features and upcoming ones on both consoles and PC.
