Audio balance changes on MacBook Pro

Ever since I upgraded to macOS Monterey I have been experiencing some issues with my audio balance when I connect my wireless headphone.

Sometimes I notice it immediately that the audio is skewed to one side or the other and I can adjust it but after some time it changes back.

I use the Bose QC-35 and I don't experience this issue with other devices like my phone.

Hope someone can help with this problem.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0

Audio out of balance I regularly use Sony WH-1000XM3'S with my MacBook Air M1. lately, the balance for the audio will randomly change when I'm using these headphones and place more sound to the right. I've corrected it in the settings myself twice just today. It's pretty annoying. Anybody else having this problem?

Audio cut-out when video streaming between MacBook Air and Bose 700 Headphones Streaming Netflix and other video services on MacBook Air 2020(M1) using Bose 700 headphones. Have continuous audio cut out. Spoke with Apple Support and tried in safe mode, reinstalling OS and updating software to Ventura 13.5. Nothing works. Bose headphones work fine with older 2013 Air, also with streaming music from iPhone 11. I have also performed all fixes for Bose with their support and even replaced headphones with new ones. Anyone else encounter this problem with a newer Air and Bose.

Audio dropouts on a Macbook Pro 2021 I am trying to resolve audio dropouts on my mac, I have seen a few people posting similar questions with no answers. It does seem to be related to memory pressure - when in Yellow. (In my case stronger when running Windows 11 in Parallels, which seems to have been brought up before). I have a 32gb MbP so there is no reason there should be memory pressure, even with parallels running. I have tested with multiple DACs and multiple USBC cables the same thing happens, the volume drops out every minute or two. If routing the audio out via Airport instead I get no dropouts.
