Hello there Jessie. Thanks for replying. I bought into the SoundTouch products specifically for the multiroom features, unfortunately, these cannot be controlled by voice service (skill not available in uk) so I’m trying salvage my investment (incidentally, why on earth is the SoundTouch adapter so expensive?). I think you may be misunderstanding my issue. I’m not trying to save any settings on the soundtouch’s bluetooth, simply expecting the same amount of latency on each use, this is what we get from other Bose products (Soundlink Mini, Soundlink Colour & QC35). I of cause expect an amount of latency over Bluetooth, even the occasional glitch, but the consistently variable amount of delay is something I’ve found unique to SoundTouch, suggesting this is the norm for Bluetooth is incorrect. If there is a way to correct this fault I would appreciate hearing it. I’ve seen many other users on here threatening to return products, but I enjoy the sound of the speakers and even though I’m unable to use the features as advertised, I’d still like to find a way to get this to work. many thanks for your help. james

Hi there Tony, thanks for responding. The source in question is amazon music. I use echo dots for multiroom music which allows for latency adjustment to synchronise Bluetooth speakers. Once the system is set up and sync adjusted for soundtouch and other devices it sounds great. Unfortunately on reconnecting the soundtouch Bluetooth (either by turning ff or changing source) the delay on that system changes and is no longer in sync. This doesn't happen with the soundlink mini I use or an unbranded Bluetooth receiver. The Bluetooth sync also drifts when using apple tv as a source for st300 although less noticeable until it gets really bad. Any advice on a solution is appreciated. Many thanks James

Hi all, hope everyone is doing well. I posted a similar query in Home Theatre but have since discovered that it is occurring on both my ST20 as well as ST300 and wondered if anyone else was suffering from this issue or had a solution. I have echo dot connected via Bluetooth and each time I reconnect there is a Different amount of delay. I accept and am happy with a Bluetooth delay (can adjust for the delay at source) but each time having to adjust to different amount is unsustainable. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi there Joel, a good afternoon to you. Thanks for replying. it is actually now possible to manually adjust the Bluetooth latency by the millisecond for echo multiroom, (must be a recent addition as I haven’t really seen it mentioned online but it is there in the Alexa app I have done this successfully other Bluetooth speakers) which I have done and have everything running beautifully in sync, until I disconnect and reconnect the Soundtouch Bluetooth. When it reconnects, the delay is different, it is this variation which is causing me problems. I have also noticed this with connecting the Apple TV to ST300 via Bluetooth. Also sometimes drifting out of sync. Thanks again to anyone who is able to contribute. I’m looking round the forum to find somewhere I can make a contribution of my own to help someone. I feel a bit guilty asking for help without having giving any.

Hi there Bose community, I hope everyone is having a good day. I wonder if anyone can help me with an issue I’m having. I have echo dots in each room one of which I planned to connect by Bluetooth to the soundbar, so that I can use the multi room function with that system (the Bose skill is not available in England to control Bose’s own multiroom, a disappointment, but I enjoy finding a workaround). Whenever the dot connects to the st300 there is a different length of delay, so it’s impossible to keep the rooms in sync. Has anyone else encounter this? Is there a solution? its worth mentioning that I have experimented with other Bluetooth devices (Bose soundlink mini and a cheap Bluetooth receiver) and whilst there is always a delay, it is consistent so I can set the delay in the software to compensate. The same issue happens with my ST20 but I have worked round this with a 3rd party receiver into the aux in, there is no useable aux in on the soundbar, I think. Oh, I have tried resetting, power cycling etc to no avail. Anyway, I look forward to your suggestions if you have any. This forum is very helpful, and you seem like a nice bunch of folks. many thanks James my home audio setup lounge- Bose ST300 on tv with echo dot for control (want to get the AM and VI speakers if I get Alexa working, otherwise I’ll be digging out another pair of 101 from the shed) kitchen- Bose 101 with echo dot bedroom- Bose ST20 with dot via Bluetooth receiver kids room- Bose Soundlink Mini
