I'm pretty sure they're independent, especially if we're talking about PC hardware. As for bad code in the audio driver - all kernel code can potentially interfere with all other kernel code, but I don't think that's particularly likely. You can of course unload the audio driver and see if it makes Bluetooth work better. -- Tanu
