Description

If you're a downloading a torrent file which is big (3.5 GB), and have an active connection to a bluetooth connected speaker through your mac, beucase of the high CPU usage, the audio is corrupted.

Mainly because of Webtorrent plugin using the main thread to handle the download process.

Do you have hardware acceleration enabled?

Go to settings:

I work on a Mac mini (which is way underpowered) and connected to my bluetooth headset with spotify but i don't have this issue.

Thanks!
Yup it's enabled.

Can you try to disable it and see if the issue persist?

I did a quick test from an active movie from YTS. It seems that when I disable hardware acceleration the issue is gone.
