BLUETOOTH SATELLITES CRACKILING


My Polk sattelite speakers, bluetooth connected to soundbar, have a crackling interference that is pretty much constant when not in use and even on occasion, evident when in use.
I understand from message boards that this is not an isolated experience with the Polk set up and I wondered if there is a known fix?
Many thanks

    Not that I'm aware of. A real fix would be to not use Bluetooth or wireless speakers and just use wired ones.

    BT and wireless, no matter the brand, are going to have issues now and then because of the variety of things that interfere with those signals. If you want stable, quiet, noise free, then direct wired speakers are really the answer. Sure, BT and wireless are convenient, but there are trade offs, as your finding out. Sometimes it just may be the area your in that has a lot of interference and not much you can do about that. Other times it can be from other wireless devices, an outdated router or software in a connecting device.
