How can I increase the A2DP bitpool on Linux?

I recently bought a Bluetooth headset (Philips SHB4000), and got it to stop sounding like a phone after I told Linux (Mint) to use A2DP rather than HSP/HFP.

However, there's still an annoying crackling sound that I'd like to get rid of.

Some googling suggested that the "bitpool size" might be to blame, but I couldn't find any info on how to increase it on Linux. I know it's probably in some config file somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it.

This mailing list thread looks promising -- it mentions setting bitpool size in ~/.asoundrc, which is described on the Alsa wiki. – Aaron Miller – 2013-05-23T22:19:56.967

A possible solution for your problem is: set A2DP bitpool size in ~/.asoundrc file the maximum size depends on the device you want to use. You can take a look at http://vlsd.blogspot.nl/2013/11/bluetooth-headphones-and-arch-linux.html. Hope it helps.
