Bluetooth, charging, audio issue

[daphatgrant]

So, here are the details.

I have a Sansa Clip mp3 player
I have a TaoTronics Bluetooth transmitter
I have a bluetooth speaker
I have multiple ways of charging devices that require microUSB connections

I want to be able to listen to music from the Clip on bluetooth headphones and charge both the Clip and transmitter while using them. Both devices can be used while charging so that is not an issue.

If I use the devices when they are not charging everything works great. If I use them while only one device is charging everything is fine (I've tried each). If I use both devices while charging from 2 separate power sources everything works great.

Here's the issue, if I use both devices while charging from the same power source, I've tried a battery pack with 2 ports and a 2 port usb wall charger the audio stops and I get an ocassional click from the speaker (I'm using a bluetooth speaker now, wanted to test this out before grabbing a pair of earbuds).

I'm a little confused as to why it stops. If I unplug one it starts working, plug it back in, it stops, unlpug the other one it starts working.


So, yeah... thoughts?

Well... Lol. I ordered some data only micro usb cables to see if that works, next would be a different maybe better shielded 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable.

Power only USB cables don't seem to have fixed the problem. I'll probably try a better shielded 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable.
