I’m having a stuttering issue when using airplay on Pi 4 set to STANDALONE. It’s happening consistently with multiple devices. I don’t need Bluetooth. Will disabling it resolve this? What’s the proper command on a Pi 4?

Hi,

To stop the bluetooth service:
systemctl stop bluetooth.service
and disable it:
systemctl disable bluetooth.service

It might or might not solve the issue, depending on the cause. Can you paste diagnostics and health check results here? Also, some users reported improved sound quality when switching to a different power supply: Balena Raspberry Pi 3B Sound stuttering and noise Issue · Issue #148 · balenalabs/balena-sound · GitHub
