Bluetooth headphones, the audio is choppy, it stutters

This is a new computer I started using today. It is a Think T14 Gen 1, with AMD cpu. The headphones are Anker Soundcore. These headphones are connected through bluetooth. I use Archlinux/Gnome, and Gnome handles the control of the bluetooth. No other bluetooth device is connected to this laptop, only these headphones.

Just this morning, when I was using my older laptop (Dell), also using ArchLinux and Gnome, it was all good. But now with my new laptop, the audio through the bluetooth headphones is terrible. I have tried different internet browsers, and also spotify or youtube, and all of them have the time problem. The audio stutters continuously. Every couple of seconds, it stops, stars, or whatever. The computer dual boots with W11, and there it sounds all OK.

If I put the audio through the laptop speakers (in Linux) then the audio is also OK. But as soon as I connect the audio to the bluetooth headphones, as said, the quality is terrible. By quality I mean the stuttering, the quality of the audio itself is OK, but as said, every second or so it stops and stutters.

Using Gnome, I have tried different drivers for the bluetooth. The default A2DP AAC, as I said, stutters a lot. The SBC ones produce horrible beeps.

As I always do, with a USB installation media. I've installed AL many times through the years. Apart from this problem with the audio through bluetooth, this laptop works OK.

Did you Diable Windows Fast Start? It's been known to cause problems with bluetooth and wifi devices if left enabled.
