Why is there a delay in the audio on the Xiaomi Buds 6?
If you experience audio delay with your Xiaomi Buds 6, please refer to the following troubleshooting guide:
1. Check whether you are in a gaming scenario, as game apps activate the HFP call protocol instead of the A2DP protocol used for music playback. The HFP protocol has a narrower audio bandwidth, which introduces noticeable latency. This is a normal behavior and not a defect of the earbuds.
2. Verify the Bluetooth codec in use, because different codecs have varying latency characteristics. Higher bitrate codecs such as aptX Adaptive require more data transmission and can introduce additional latency. In interference-heavy environments, switch to AAC or SBC for lower latency and more stable playback.
3. If you are playing games, you can enable the Low latency mode, which will minimize latency during game audio and video synchronization. This feature is only available on selected Xiaomi phones.
4. Keep the earbuds and the phone within close range and reduce environmental interference, as Bluetooth performance degrades when the devices move beyond the effective range or when strong 2.4 GHz signals from Wi-Fi routers, microwave ovens, or other electronics disrupt the connection. Move the devices closer together and away from interference sources.
5. Update the firmware to the latest version, as ongoing optimizations for latency performance are delivered through firmware updates. Ensure you are using the most current version to benefit from the latest improvements in audio synchronization.
6. If the issue persists after performing all the above steps, please submit feedback and upload the issue logs, as this will help the development team identify and address the problem in future software updates.
