I posted this in Apple's forum and - so far - tumbleweed. I have two sets of BT cans: Sony WH-1000MX4 and Bose NC700. Now, I can't remember whether this began happening when I first installed Ventura/iPadOS 16, or whether it's been caused by a subsequent update (both devices are running the latest versions of their respective OS). I'm pointing the finger at Apple because both work fine with their respective apps, even after the sound drops out when trying to use them with anything else (I can usually get around 45 minutes from both before it cuts). So I 'forget' them on both devices, and re-pair. After around 45m minutes (maximum an hour) it happens again. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Now, I'm autistic, and currently in a situation where music is one of the few ways I stay sane (it also helps prevent me getting murdery) and I would never dream of listening without headphones as not to disturb others (especially at night).
When the sound cuts, the track doesn't stop playing, I just can't hear it. I even created a new account, to test if there was anything that might be causing the issue (although obviously, there's no way to do that on an iPad (anyone else think it's about time you were able to set up multiple accounts on an iPad...?)). Devices have been rebooted. I can find nothing in Apple's KB which addresses the issue.
Just to be clear: When the sound cuts out and I cannot hear anything through anything else (Apple Music, Spotify, YT, Soundcloud, etc) both sets still function fine with their respective apps.
Getting really rather anxious now. Any help, folks...?
