Bluetooth hearphone sound interruption

Hello all,

I just installed Archlinux on a laptop (I am an Archlinux user since early 2000's) but it is the first time I am using Bluetooth earphone - When listening to the music or a video the sound get interrupting every now and then, there is no pattern - it could be 5 minutes or 30 seconds.

I have been searching the forum but I cannot seems to find any topics with the issues, I found a post on the web relating to Bluetooth using the same frequency as 2.4ghz wifi but I am using 5g wifi. 

Any idea on what to check or which area to investigate - nothing reported in journalctl that coincide with the timing of the interruption.

Thank you

Hello, I think I'm facing same issue, did you find the solution?

Does your problem occur on all audio devices or only this Bluetooth headphones? What about different browsers or media players? Does is happen everywhere or just one environment?

It seems strange but using 'linux' kernel fixed issue for me, I was on 'linux-lts' before

I had same trouble. Freebuds working but the sound bar like Creative Stage Air v2 not. I try with change from linux to linux-lts, try downgrade pipewire (yesterday upgrade of it), nothing help.

Sorry for the late reply, I have not resolve the issue.

But there is this topic => https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=304759 that seems to point toward the problem. Honestly, I have been waiting for the fixed to be pushed via update.
