Music pauses when using Bluetooth

When listening to Apple Music on my M1 Mac (Monterey) using Bluetooth headsets (I've tried multiple including Air Pods), the music will automatically stop after almost every song (but not every song). Music continues to play just fine if I use wired headphones.


Has anyone hit this problem before?

Hello Diggy K,


it seems like your music will stop when using wireless headsets. Have you tried other Bluetooth accessories? What about other wireless headsets?


If you have problems playing music on Mac - Apple Support


"If the progress bar at the top of the Music window is moving, but you don’t hear anything

  • If you’re using your computer’s built-in speakers: Make sure the volume controls are not turned down. Check the control at the top of the Music window and check the computer’s output volume (in the Sound Output settings). See If you can’t hear sound from your Mac speakers.
  • If you’re using powered speakers connected to your computer: Make sure the powered speakers are properly plugged into your computer’s audio port, plugged into a power source, and turned on. Also make sure their volume isn’t turned down.
  • If you’re trying to listen to music through remote speakers using AirPort Express: Make sure the remote speakers are selected in the AirPlay pop-up menu  at the top of the Music window, and the volume control on the speakers isn’t turned down."


Regards.
