Videos play without audio and at least 2x speed when using bluetooth audio

[DarknightDS]

When connected to a bluetooth speaker and I run omxplayer with --adev alsa to send audio over bluetooth, no audio can be heard when the Pi is also using the USB port for file transfers over usb ethernet. I have an HDMI plugged into the Pi. All video files were created using handbrake's Super HQ 480p profile. Once converted, I then convert the files to MKV as MP4 files would have this issue about 1 in 3 playbacks using omxplayer without any writes to disk or ethernet transfers etc. When videos play back at normal speed, the audio on bluetooth is good.

Raspbian stretch is installed, fully updated.

I'm using a raspberry pi zero w

Just noticed that when the file plays without audio, if I set the playback speed to 0.975 the video plays back at the correct speed and I get audio output over Bluetooth properly. This isn't a fix for my issue as the video should playback correctly without me having to slow it down manually. In the project I plan to use this in, I don't want to wire 2 more buttons to step the speed up and down. Video randomly speeds up in middle of video playback as well.

Hi. Is there an update, resolution or confirmation of this issue? I'm facing the same problem. Video and sound work fine when playing over HDMI audio. However, when trying to play via bluetooth using the -o alsa option the video plays too fast with no sound. Slowing the video down (hitting 1) corrects the fast play and the sound starts. Even more confusing is that perhaps 1 out of every 5 times everything works fine from startup. Using the alsa option to play via i2s works fine. This is on Raspberry Pi Stretch.

sudo omxplayer -o hdmi /mnt/disk/movie.mp4
using keyborad to change speed

When it's played in normal speed，everything is fine. When it's played in slower or faster speed, the video is fine, but no audio.

two years and no fix for it when using alsa audio device?

Have you tried using VLC?
omxplayer is being deprecated and VLC is the recommended alternative.
