Audio intermittently cutting/jumping using bluetooth devices

Audio is cutting/jumping while using bluetooth devices i.e. Bose NC700, QC35 and Jabra Elite 65. Switched to wired and clicking/cutting/jumping disappears. I have relinked bluetooth devices and still has the issue. Its a "clicking" sound that happens for a split second like a CD or record skipping then the audio continues.

iPhone 12, iOS 15

Bluetooth audio randomly choppy for a brief second (happens frequently and intermittently). Big Sur M1 11.1 MacBook Pro I’m using an M1 MacBook Pro with 11.1 I've used three different Bluetooth branded headphones and all exhibit the same problem. Intermittently, there will be a glitch in the audio (doesn’t matter the source). Not a disconnection, just a momentary glitch or gap in the audio every files minutes. Anyone else had this issue?

Loud sudden noise on Bluetooth I’ve a 2018 MBP connected to a Sony HT-RT3 via Bluetooth. Whenever a movie starts or ends it makes a really loud cracking noise, like some interference. It’s like it would play on full volume. Speaker is fine as no other devices make this (win10 laptop, iPhone, android phones are all ok). I’ve read a lot had this problem with 10.10, and it was fixed in 10.13, but I still have this problem with 10.15.2. It really hurts our ears, I would be happy if anyone has a solution.

Sound disappears in bluetooth headphones (Mac OS Monterey + AirPods Max) After the upgrade to Macos Monterey, the sound began to fall through the headphones. The sound disappears for a fraction of a second and then reappears. The problem manifests itself in all applications (Apple Music, Safari, Spotify). Resetting SMC and NVRAM didn't help. The problem manifests itself only on the MacBook, I work well with the iPhone.

Hello,

Good luck.

Still having problems. The suggested fix did not resolve the issue.
