Bluetooth stutter Realtek 8852AE (Lenovo ThinkPad E15 Gen3) - Ubuntu 20.04

in flag

I have serious stuttering audio from bluetooth output from my machine. I need help to understand if I am doing this correctly.

So from Lenovo support latest driver Realtek 8852AE for Windows (September update: 1.8.1039.3000) seemed to have fixed this problem. (at least for now)

On Ubuntu I found out that lwfinger has provided a fix for the card (rtw89pci): hence, I did the installation and found no issue except minor warning.

However, the issue still persists so I ran:

sudo modprobe rtw89pci

sudo dmesg | grep rtw

[    2.969069] rtw_8822ce 0000:03:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0003)

[   11.468469] rtw_8822ce 0000:03:00.0: sta c8:ea:f8:27:cf:64 joined with macid 

Noted that the log is showing rtw_8822ce instead of rtw89pci.

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

# old driver from rw88 git
blacklist rtw_8822ce

I also have blacklisted this driver from running again as I found out that this driver could be from rtw88 (which I don't remember installing it).

I am quite confused now is my wifi card is 8822CE or 8852AC? I am trying to uninstall the driver by cloning back rtw88 and run make uninstall but it doesn't work.

running lsmod | grep rtw

rtw88_core            188416  2 rtw88_pci,rtw88_8822c
mac80211             1024000  4 rtw88_pci,rtw89pci,rtw88_core,rtw89core
cfg80211              888832  3 rtw88_core,rtw89core,mac80211

Any direction to take this the next would be much appreciated.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
