Homebrew is a Hack (homebrew?) to make audio bluetooth possible?

God the solution is so clean... I am gonna try ordering one and make the same thing, waiting for a built-in solution.

Nintendo will hopefully add BT audio support in the future. I assume. But, in the meantime, I would like to point out that the latest Bluetooth audio profiles actually decrease latency exponentially. As far as I know you specifically need 4.1 however. APT-X decreases latency somewhat, but nothing close to what 4.1 specifically does. But do note here that this means BOTH sides must be using Bluetooth 4.1. If only one side supports it, it's going to downgrade to the maximum that the other side supports. (I think 4.1 actually just means it has built in support for the newer low latency APT-X, but either way you're looking at significantly higher latencies with anything less than 4.1.)

Whether the Switch would be capable of 4.1 or not, I couldn't say... I just hope it is and that Nintendo will add support for this in the future because it's actually kind of silly not to have it. One thing you should remember though: the Switch comes out very minimal right now. Nintendo made it clear their primary focus first and foremost was getting it gaming ready. That's why even though it has a browser you can't actually access websites or anything like that. They intend to add more features later. That means maybe they already intended to do this someday and, rather than waiting for them to even think of it and then to do it, it may be a matter of just waiting until they can get around to actually doing it.

Well guys, bit of news here... So I ordered two products on Amazon, one of them really looks like the one from the picture, but not sure since it is FR store, it is from Tao tronics, the other one from another brand. Lets rule this out from the beginning, it was Receiver only -_-... the other one, on the other hand, does transmit, and quite well at that: the pairing is easy and quick, the only thing left was to plug the jack and voilà! On the down side, it is APTX only, so a bit of latency, I ordered another one which is receiver and transmitter, and APTX Low Latency, so I'll keep you guys informed !

i made it work w/ this transmitter,it just syncs awesome no lag whatsoever and you can use any 4.0 bluetooth headphones or earphones also not to noticing , i might have to some paint job on the transmitter.

ohh and the built in battery for the transmitter will last more than 6 hours

here is the switch docked with bluetooth transmitter and no lag

Do you have a link to that transmitter please?
