Bluetooth crashes in MacOS Sonoma (M1 MacBook Pro)

After upgrading to 14.1.2 the problem has gone away for me.

Same here MBP 16 M1max cracking sound with USB-C and bluetooth problem disconnecting =>> connecting every 30-45 min. Updated Sonoma 14.2 problem still exists.

Installed latest Sonoma 14.4. Issue still persists. Seems that Apple developers are not qualified enough to fix this.

Still terrible in 14.4 - they truly do not care at this point. so aggravating

I resolved by unpairing the keyboard and mouse, running Onyx maintenance and rebooting and then repairing the keyboard and mouse. Of course, if you don’t have a laptop, you will have to find a wired keyboard and mouse to perform this.

Same BT problem with Sonoma (Upgrade from big Sur) Using my old Apple usb keyboard now! Fix it apple!

Put a cork in it. Your Mac works, great, nobody cares. Leave the people alone who are reporting issues. Just because it works with your specific Intel config, doesn’t mean there is no issue for anybody else. You’re on Intel, everybody reporting this issue is on Apple Silicon, stop bugging people with nonsense.

Well, I’ve been spending some time looking at this from multiple angles, and it seems to be an M1 problem. M2 and M3, as well as Intel seem to be unaffected. Same as with the USB DAC issue, where audio stutters/crackles when you connect an amplifier via USB. It seems there is a problem in the M1 Chip that causes at least two very hard to solve issues in Bluetooth and USB. I guess the resale value of tose Macs just dropped even more…

I had the exact same issue after Sonoma upgrade. Waited until the latest 14.3 Sonoma even and still bluetoothd crashes repeatedly and airdrop is unresponsive.

From the logs it looked like a permission issue that I never managed to get resolved or find the root cause of.

After 3 months now of trying everything I now completely wiped the drive and went back to Ventura.

Everything works perfectly now including bluetooth, all my bluetooth devices ( AirPods, keyboard and mouse ) as well as airdrop

I also have this issue on my MacBook Air M1 with macOS 14.3. It has been a long time. I used to thought that my earphone is having issues. I happened to try the same earphone with my intel MacBook Pro macOS 13.2.1 there is no issue. It is really frustrating there is no fix so far.

My mouse, keyboard and trackpad all disconnect randomly. Doesn't seem to be a pattern to it. The only way to reconnect is to plug the charging cable into all the devices, which sometimes doesn't work.

How is this even an issue? It's absolutely infuriating and mind-boggling that this bug can appear after years of it not even being an imaginable issue. Please fix this ludicrous bug Apple.

This is still happening to me on my Mac Studio, constantly, with 14.3.1. Just updated today. This has been happening to me for at least 3 months now. Every update that comes out, I cross my fingers and hope that it fixes the issue, but it doesn't.

To add onto the list of issues, every once in a while when I attempt to use Touch ID after it disconnects/reconnects all my peripherals, the pointer and keyboard are very slow to respond and end up skipping, and once it also disconnected all the devices immediately after they reconnected.

I keep submitting bug reports through Feedback Assistant, but nothing is acknowledged or changed. Why hasn't this been fixed yet? It looks like there's quite a few of us experiencing this.

i have all apple equipment, bluetooth goes to sleep without notice, need to force keyboard and mouse to reconnect. based on all the posts, the is an operating system problem. I have M1 processor , people with newer M2 are also having the problem.

Apple are you reading these boards?

In macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 the problem has gotten worse: Bluetooth disconnects the Apple mouse and Apple keyboard, does not auto-reconnect anymore, but in stead you have to switch Bluetooth off/on and then it reconnects.

I use a MacBook Air 15" M2.

Apple fix this!

these commands may work if your not in clamshell mode. if you are in clamshell with a wireless keyboard and mouse, your dead in the water. continuously hitting the return key or clicking the mouse will force reconnection or plugging in the wireless devices will reengage. the bluetooth is going to sleep just like apple tech support is asleep. hey apple when are you going to fix this problem? are you out there? are you paying attention to these boards or are we wasting out time posting?
