MacBook Air (2022) audio keeps randomly cutting out

For the last couple days I have been experiencing an issue where my randomly audio cuts out for a moment, especially whilst watching videos or listening to songs. Here are my findings from doing some testing:

• The cuts seem to occur more frequently when more apps are open/ there is a greater CPU load.
• The cuts are not an issue with my headphones as there were no cuts while using them with other devices.
• There were no cuts while I had my headphones and had audio playing directly through the laptop speakers (I tried to increase the program load as best as I could)..
• The cuts occur mainly whilst watching videos or playing sound files but can occur elsewhere too.
• I've shut down and restarted both the headphones and my MacBook and reset the bluetooth connection and none have fixed the problem.
