Tips to prevent audio lag
- Sound lag can occur on any Bluetooth audio device. You can minimize the delay by limiting interference, such as moving the devices closer together to help improve the connection. Make sure there aren't any objects, metals, walls, or people between the earbuds and other Bluetooth device.
- Additionally, avoid using your earbuds near devices that may cause interference, such as other Bluetooth devices, microwaves, and wireless routers.
- When playing a game, you can try pausing the game for a few seconds or restarting the gaming app. It's also helpful to check for updates to the game or your device.
- Some Galaxy Buds have Gaming mode. This will minimize delays for a smooth sound. To turn it on, navigate to the Bluetooth settings menu on your phone, tap your Buds, tap Setup your earbuds, and grant any permissions required. Now tap Earbud settings, tap Labs, and then tap the switch next to Gaming mode.
