Hello all,

I have been struggling with something annoying for a while now.

I own an expensive setup with MacBook Pro M1 Pro, studio display, AirPods Max / Pro and Apple mice and keyboards.

I have been having sound and Bluetooth issues for quite some time:

When I play music via Apple Music, I get dropouts in the music playback. Sometimes these are very short, sometimes half a second long, certainly 3-4x per song. I thought it was limited to the AirPods Max, apparently also occurs with the AirPods Pro (2).

Yesterday, the headphones would also partout not connect to the MacBook via Bluetooth, although they are listed and recognized in the overview. Also a new setup of all AirPods and various Bluetooth reset instructions did not help.

When I have the AirPods connected to my iPhone, none of this happens. The connections are stable and everything plays without a hitch.

On my MacBook, 2.4 + 5 GHz wifi is being received.

Do you guys have any ideas?
