 It's, this is, this is actually, this is an interesting one, John. I don't know that we're going to have an answer for this, but I have some ideas. He says, uh, I take five mile walks or runs around my neighborhood on a daily basis. I live in a moderately dense population suburb, but certainly not a highly congested urban environment. I had Beats Pro earphones, which I used to listen to mostly podcasts on my outdoor walks and runs. I started having a problem with brief audio dropouts, which would last from one to say five or six seconds. Thinking maybe my Beats had seen better days. I bought a new pair of Beats Studio Buds to replace them. Then sure enough, similar dropouts. I should point out that the dropouts never occurred at home with either pair of headphones. I called Apple support. They suggested it might be the iPhone attempting to connect to Wi-Fi networks in the homes I was passing by. That made sense. So I started shutting off the Wi-Fi on my phone while I walked outside. That was no problem as my Pocketcast app downloads podcasts overnight. So I had no need to stream. It seemed to help a bit, I think, but it was still getting, I was still getting dropouts, albeit less frequently maybe. I also seem to notice that the dropouts happen at the same points along my path, frequently, but not always. Do you think maybe my iPhone is trying to connect with Bluetooth devices in the homes along my route, or perhaps with passing cars? If that's the case, I guess I'm sunk because obviously shutting off the Bluetooth on the phone is a non-starter. Maybe you've heard of similar problems from other listeners or experienced it yourself. In any event, it's annoying. And I'd appreciate your sharing any experiences advice that you might have. Yeah, man, we want to solve this for you because we want any dropouts you hear when listening to Mac Geekyeb to be our fault, not the fault of your environment. And we strive not to have any of those either, but, you know, things happen. So these are bizarre circumstances, John. And I find it like the fact that it happens in the same locations has me has me cogitating, John. And, you know, I'm wondering if this is Wi-Fi causing the interference. I know he's turned off Wi-Fi on his phone, but his neighbors' houses who he walks by have not turned off Wi-Fi, right? And since both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi operate in the 2.4 gigahertz range and can certainly compete with each other, maybe that's it or maybe like his neighbor has set up like a secret microwave antenna and is broadcasting government secrets, right, to some satellite somewhere. I mean, anything that's operating at 2.4 could theoretically get in the way. So maybe one of your neighbors got a new like Super Hoop-D mesh system that is targeting their front yard, you know, that you're walking past and that could cause this. I mean, it would need to be a lot, but it could be. I don't know. What you could do. All right, so here's a suggestion for Kenny, is maybe get a spectra monitor, if you will, like iStumbler or something. In the area where you have this happen, set up, I don't think there's anything really great on iOS to do this. So you may want to do this on your Mac, but yeah, something like iStumbler in this area where you have weird things happen and just see what is in the neighborhood. I would suspect that there's problem. I mean, 2.4 is loaded with all sorts of things like you, I think you pointed out microwave ovens and all sorts of things. I mean, it's really crowded. So that's that's gonna be my guess. Yeah, okay. So there's just too much stuff in a certain area that you're going through where it interrupts the stream. It shouldn't, but it does. But it does. Right. Exactly. Exactly. So there is one, exactly one Wi-Fi scanner available for the iPhone and it is called Airport Utility. Yes. But there's a trick. You have to go into Settings, Airport Utility. At the bottom of that page, there is a Wi-Fi scanner slider. And so you have to turn that on. And then when you go launch Airport Utility, you will see in the upper right a Wi-Fi scan button. And if you tap that, you can say scan. And and it will start scanning for Wi-Fi networks and it's going to start showing you all mine. Yeah. So I think that's the key there. And so you can see RSSI, which is the signal strength of that and the closer to zero it is. So it's listed as a negative number. It's listed in negative DBM. The closer to zero that number is the stronger the signal. So take a look and I believe I'm looking at mine here. I believe it is sorting by, yeah, it's constantly resorting every second and probably chewing my battery. But it's constantly resorting every second by the most powerful signal at the top. So I would definitely like leave Wi-Fi on on your phone, Kenny. And when you get to a spot where you're experiencing those dropouts, whip out Airport Utility and turn on that scan and see what shows up at the top. And then at least you'll know. I don't, I mean, you know, so like mine, I'm here in my office. I have lots of Wi-Fi around me. And negative 54, negative 52 DBM is what I'm seeing as the sort of peak of it at sorting to the top at any given point in time. I don't have any Bluetooth problems here in the office or the house when I use Bluetooth earbuds or anything like that. So, you know, I'd be curious to see, and I have a lot of Wi-Fi devices here, like let's be clear about this, but you also kind of want to look and not don't concern yourself with the, the five gigahertz devices. So can we see on the scan when things are? Yeah. So anything that's channel 11 or lower is 2.4 gigahertz and anything that is, you know, in the forties or hundreds is five gigahertz. Don't worry about the five gigahertz stuff. That's not getting in your way. It's the lower, the lower channel numbers one through 11 that are going to be competing with your Bluetooth. But again, this only shows Wi-Fi devices. It doesn't show Bluetooth devices. It doesn't show microwaves. You know, it just shows things that advertise as Wi-Fi access points.
