I'll just throw this out for consideration, what if the Bose Soundlink is like that annoying kid in the room that's always urgently asking questions.
From the Bluetooth protocol spec " This is used by parked slaves to determine whether it is allowed to send access messages"
This is conceptual to illustrate a hypothetical problem of one device stuck in interrupt mode.
Grasshopper: I need service
Master to Grasshopper: what is it Grasshopper
Mouse: squeak
Master to mouse: wait I'm servicing Grasshopper
Grasshopper: send me audio
Master to Grasshopper : I have nothing for you
Grasshopper: I need service
Master to Grasshopper: what is it Grasshopper
Mouse: squeak
Master to mouse: wait I'm servicing Grasshopper
Grasshopper: send me audio
Master to Grasshopper : I have nothing for you
IF a device was constantly sending interrupts is might be possible to flood the communications channel effectively disabling other devices. Like in a Denial of Service attack.
It may be either device malfunctioning or a driver issue with either device. Without some diagnostic capability we can only speculate.
Swapping out devices seems like the best option at this point (either a replacement or completely different device).
If you bought from a physical store you might take it back and see if you can try a different device to eliminate the problem. OR go to any store and see if you can try a device to see if it will work. I want to buy X but I want to make sure it will work... or order from
Amazon and return if needed.
