Bluetooth audio cutting out on the vivo S50 can quickly ruin music playback, calls, or videos. The sound drops for a second, reconnects, then cuts out again, which makes wireless headphones feel unreliable. In most cases, this problem is caused by connection conflicts, background restrictions, or temporary Bluetooth glitches, all of which you can fix with the right steps.
Why Your vivo S50 Bluetooth Audio Keeps Cutting Out
- Bluetooth connection is unstable or partially corrupted.
- Battery optimization is limiting Bluetooth or the audio app.
- Too many nearby wireless devices are causing interference.
- The connected Bluetooth device has its own firmware or battery issues.
- Temporary system glitches affecting wireless connections.
1. Restart Bluetooth on Your Phone
Restarting Bluetooth refreshes the wireless connection and clears minor pairing errors. This is often enough to stop audio from cutting in and out.
Open Settings, and then tap Bluetooth.
Toggle Bluetooth off, wait a few seconds, and then turn it back on.
Reconnect your headphones and test the audio again.
2. Restart Your vivo S50
A full restart resets system services that handle Bluetooth audio. It also clears background processes that may interfere with wireless playback.
Open Settings, and then tap System.
Tap Restart, and then confirm the action.
Once the phone turns back on, reconnect your Bluetooth device.
3. Forget and Re Pair the Bluetooth Device
If the pairing profile is corrupted, audio may drop repeatedly. Removing the device and pairing it again creates a clean connection.
Open Settings, and then tap Bluetooth.
Tap the connected device name, and then select Forget or Unpair.
Pair the device again and check if the audio stabilizes.
4. Turn Off Battery Optimization for Bluetooth
Battery saving features may restrict Bluetooth in the background. This can cause audio to cut out when the screen is off or when switching apps.
Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
Tap App battery management, and then find Bluetooth or your audio app.
Set it to Allow background activity or No restrictions.
5. Reduce Wireless Interference
Other wireless devices can interfere with Bluetooth signals. This is common in crowded areas or when multiple devices are connected at once.
Turn off unused Bluetooth devices, and then move closer to your phone.
Avoid using Wi Fi hotspots or other wireless accessories nearby.
Test the audio again in a quieter environment.
6. Check the Bluetooth Device Battery
Low battery on headphones or speakers often causes unstable audio. The connection may stay active, but sound quality suffers.
Check the battery level on your Bluetooth device, and then recharge it fully.
Reconnect it to your vivo S50 and play audio for several minutes.
If possible, test with another Bluetooth device for comparison.
Bluetooth audio issues on the vivo S50 are usually easy to fix once you remove connection conflicts and background limits. After refreshing Bluetooth and adjusting battery settings, wireless audio should play smoothly again.
FAQs
Why does Bluetooth audio cut out only when my screen is off?
This usually happens when battery optimization limits Bluetooth or the audio app in the background. Allowing background activity fixes the issue.
Does Bluetooth audio cutting out mean my headphones are broken?
Not always. It can be caused by software issues on the phone, interference, or low battery on the headphones.
Should I reset network settings if nothing works?
If the problem continues after all steps, resetting network settings can help. This removes saved Bluetooth and Wi Fi connections, so you will need to set them up again.
