I need to be able to use a small bluetooth speaker (JBL Flip 2) with Studio One 3 to play some sound on the go for actors during a video shoot.

I like the convenience of markers, transport, etc... Make it mucch more efficient than using iTunes!!

I can select my bluetoth speaker in the Audio Device Set Up. It does indicate 44.1 Khz - 128 sample. My "song" is 44.1kHz

But when I open the song and hit play, The playback speed is wrong. It sounds like it's a Slow motion (I can see the seconds counter going at least 4 times slower)

I presume its a sampling freq. issue due to bluetooth. I've also tried a 48 KHz song sampling frequency. Same bad result...

Does anybody achieve to make this specific audio setting work?

Thanks for your help!

In Audio MIDI Setup (found in your Utilities folder) create an Aggregate Audio device, and add your BlueTooth audio device. Then set the sample rate for it's output. Then in Studio One select this as your output device. This should resolve any sample mismatching that's occuring.
