Hello all,

Has anyone been running into any issues with AirPod Pros connected to their M1 MBP? I've noticed way to often my audio stuttering and going in and out for 10 to 30 second intervals. No real resolution but to sometimes put AirPods back in case or turn bluetooth off and back on for the Mac.

I don't experience this issue connecting AirPod to my iPhone, only seems to be happing to M1 MPB. Never had this issue on my prior Intel mac.

I do have bluetooth keyboard so and it works fine so I don't think it's jsut bluetooth.

Yes! I'm having a similar issue but I cannot get the AP Pro to work in stereo (pair) when connected to my M1 MBA. Just one will have sound, usually the right side and then the other will have noise cancellation working, so I know its connected. So odd. No issue with my 15" MBP or other devices with the AP Pro, just with the M1. I've done a reset on the AP's but not sure what to do next. Argh.

I do notice random cutouts on my MacBook with my Pros, I did reset my AirPods just to see and I feel like it lessened but it could be placebo also, 11.1 may have tweaked things idk.

Yes!! It's been driving me crazy. I have an appointment scheduled at the Apple Store on Saturday. Happens on both AirPods Pro and AirPods Max. So it's just just me.

No issue with my MBP M1 and APM. Watched Tenet last night with no drop outs during the length of the movie.

Bluetooth on the minis can be dicey - especially if you are actually using the two USB-A ports, you know like you’d expect to. It seems slightly better for me on the M1 than the Intel version. Try unplugging stuff , adjusting cables and not putting stuff on the Mini and see if that helps. Not ideal I know.

Having also some "drops" on my M1 watching via Youtube.
Never had this on my "old" Intel.
