Using a bluetooth headset, mouse, and keyboard. Have restarted PC, audio-related apps, no avail. Audio is choppy and stuttering at seemingly regular intervals. Any ideas on how to fix this? I've read countless other forums and articles and nothing I do seems to work.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.1
Same issue. I can't believe the amount of $$$ for a device that can't handle 3 bluetooth devices at one time.
Apparently, this is a widespread issue, there is a 17 page thread on Audio Science Review. Users have mentioned that this is potentially fixed in MacOS Sonoma.
I am on Sonoma 14.3.1 and still having the exact same issue. Come on Apple this is more than 1 year!
Not limited to M1. Same problem on Monterey running on Mac Pro 2012.
IMHO Apple screwed the pooch in Core Audio and haven't figured it out yet.
this problem is still happening.
Temp fix:
If you use Teams or Zoom or other communication app change your microphone to use your iPhone's microphone.
After that no choppy audio.
Forgeting unused devices in the bluetooth list seems to have solved the issue, for now at least. Still not sure whether this is something you should have to deal with at a pricepoint like this.
I have the same issue using the M3 Max. It also existed on my 2018 MacBook Pro. How did I pay $9000 for a computer that can't handle multiple Bluetooth connections? Fix this, Apple!
Same here. M3 MBA unusable with my edifier bluetooth speakers. 3 BT Devices, Logitech MX mouse and keyboard.
This doesn't work any way. There is no fix.
Please see my latest post for an explanation.
THANK YOU!
sudo pkill bluetoothd worked just fine!
Switching a device to usb is not a solution
More than a year with this issue. I wont believe that nobody at Apple has experienced this issue..
Really guys.
Same for me but on an M1 Macbook Air Sonoma.
I've had this problem since day one of using the 14" M1 MacBook. The problem never got solved throughout all macOS software updates. Different audio output devices doesn't seems to affect the issue. I've tried bluetooth headphone/AirPods/USB Audio interface/wired headphone, all have the same stutter issue. Also different apps doesn't affect the issue, tried Apple Music/Youtube through Chrome, even FCPX/Logic Pro seem to have the same issue. My friend who is on a 16" M1 MacBook, however, doesn't encounter the same issue as I do. Not 100% sure but the problem also seems to related to cpu/ram usage spike, since it (sometimes) get worse when I am running demanding software or when I click something on a webpage that require heavy load.
Apple, please fix
Disabling airdop and handoff helped a little bit for me, but I still notice it cutting in and out, especially when I hit something I think would bring about a system interrupt (such as command+c or other various OS-attention requiring commands).
This has been happening since I had this as a fresh out of the box product, I doubt safe mode will do anything, but I'll try it when I get the time.
How to fix choppy audio on MacBook Pro with Bluetooth devices?
