So my AirPods Pro updated today and now they won't stay connected to my MacBook Air. They connect just fine as long as I'm playing audio but as soon as I stop watching a video, movie, or music they disconnect and go back to the laptop speakers. Anyone else have this issue?

Came here to see if people were having problems.

I had zero issues prior to this firmware, now it keeps deregistering my AirPods Pro from Find My and disconnecting from devices.

If I can get it to connect, it’ll play for about 30 seconds then disconnect/deregister.

I’ve tried hard resetting AirPods Pro’s and my devices a few times, no luck.

Edit: Found a Reddit post, some commenters having similar issues

That sucks at least mine hasn't been that bad. I've never had an issue with the AirPods weird that it's happening now on this update. Gotta contact apple and let them know I suppose.

I’m having the same issue ever since my AirPods Pro got updated to 4E71. Also found this thread on a Reddit with people having the same problem. Very annoying!

Everyone having issues try updating to 15.5 RC that was released earlier.
I haven’t had any issues with the disconnects with either my APP or APM as I was already on 15.5 b4 when 4E71 came out and updated to RC today and no issues either.
I’d used my APM and APP for hours straight and haven’t experienced any issues at all.

It shouldn’t. I have been using mine with my 13 Pro most of the time so I’ll have to test with my MBP. Even that is updated to 12.4 RC though.
