iMac M1 and first gen AirPods max

[Charlusske]

I have an iMac with the M1 chip, and a pair of AirPods Max first gen.
I’m starting having some trouble with the pairing. I’ve tried watching YouTube, twitch and using Apple Music. But every time there is something wrong and the sound goes away for 1 second and then right back. Not like they are unpairing, it’s just a quick disruption. I’ve tried a different browser than safari, but it also happens when I’m just listening to Apple Music.
There is no problem with my iPhone and AirPods. So I’m thinking the iMac may be the problem? But I don’t know what to do.
I’ve tried reconnecting the AirPods, resetting them to factory settings, I turn of my iMac everyday, complete shutdown.
I don’t know what my next try could be, any suggestions?

If other Bluetooth devices work with iMac without issue, try disconnecting other Bluetooth devices from iMac before connecting APMax to test. You may need a wired keyboard and mouse. Can’t think of any other way to isolate APMax for test.
