Headphones delay?

[Vornic]

This game is great but whenever I use my bluetooth headphones the game has a big delay and I can't hit rhythms perfectly anymore.

Have you tried adjusting the game option made specifically for this purpose?

I had the same problem when I first played the game. The only solution I could find was to use an aux cable and plug them into my PC or controller.

I think that setting is just to check how out of sync you are because I played around with the setting when I first had the problem and nothing changed.

Yeah bad thing is my headphones is bluetooth ONLY D:
I also looked around the settings, nothing else helps

I'm pretty sure that setting is just to see if you have a delay, so you could refund the game or whatever. Because otherwise you wouldn't be enjoying the same thing.

do teh headphones have an aux port cuz that'tl help

Funny enough, I just got a new pair of Samsung Buds2, and decided to test them out on the Steam Deck. And... yeah, the delay is very bad. It's workable, but I would say that these buds are wholly unsuitable for use with the Steam Deck.

I did some research on the subject, and I guess the general consensus is that buds that support AptX codec have the least amount of bluetooth latency (ie: less audio delay). Buds that support this codec are far-and-few inbetween, so if you intend to use buds for gaming, you'll have to do your product research. The name that keeps popping up for such buds is Razer... who can be a bit hit-or-miss.

Though, my takeaway from all this is that 3.5 will always reign supreme. At the very least, wireless headphones with a dongle-based connection are a good middle-ground. But bluetooth, as always, proves to be trash.

My bluetooth headphones have an option to switch to headset, the delay goes away but in return it makes the sound quality really bad.

Damn

Might be useless to update yall, but I tried the game because I wanted to test my headphones quality after trying auto-eqing, to my surprise the delay is gone! Confusing, I know

[LearnedAndVile]

Yeah, that is weird. Glad to hear it's working now. Hopefully the problem doesn't come back.

You should never play with Bluetooth, at best you get double radio delay, at worst 20x more.
Seen headset that have 300ms delay, thats awful, gaming headsets may suck, but at lest they have like 50ms delay top.
