After a couple more days of using my DS980, I'm happy to say that it is working fine using Windows Media Player. Bluetooth stays on for hours, no disconnections or skips, and I've had it on overnight without any active connections.
Audio quality and remote control functions are good, and it plays in the background without hiccups while using applications in the foreground. Even moving between Panels (except for Media and FM Radio panels) there were no stoppages.
So, perhaps SE may have done something to the bluetooth, but more should have been done. For the Media Panel not to have full bluetooth functionality is inexcusable. |
