[Overview]
My bluetooth headset (Drop/THX Panda) started getting a little choppy a few days ago. The headset connects via an Avantree Leaf.
Re-pairing the headset seemed to fix the issue. But after a few hours it started doing it again, this time power-cycling the headset "fixed" it.
The next day i found windows force restarted/updated. After a couple hours of sound working just fine, it got much worse. Requiring re-pairing/restarting every couple of hours.
After updating/reinstalling everything i could think of, it appears to be stuck in the absolute worst state. No matter how many times i re-pair or restart.
The multi-function button on the headset is still able to pause/play content without issue. However all other controls ceased to function (can't change volume, skip, reverse, etc).
The headset works fine with my phone, and the headset + dongle work perfectly fine on my laptop (all in the same room, switching between them all to make sure it wasn't just interference). The issue appears to only occur on my primary desktop.

Others have the same/similar issue, THIS is the biggest forum post i could find about it. With a million different things to try, but none of them work for quite a few of us.
Is there anything else I can do/try/look at? This is extremely irritating lol

My bluetooth headset (Drop/THX Panda) started getting a little choppy a few days ago. The headset connects via an Avantree Leaf.
Example: for every 10 seconds of sound, it would only play seconds 1-3 and 5-9. skipping seconds 4 and 10, with poor sound quality at seconds 3,5, and 9.
Re-pairing the headset seemed to fix the issue. But after a few hours it started doing it again, this time power-cycling the headset "fixed" it.
The next day i found windows force restarted/updated. After a couple hours of sound working just fine, it got much worse. Requiring re-pairing/restarting every couple of hours.
Example: for every 10 seconds of sound, it might play 0.3 seconds.(basically just a small burst of noise that sorta matched what was going on) the rest is complete silence.
After updating/reinstalling everything i could think of, it appears to be stuck in the absolute worst state. No matter how many times i re-pair or restart.
Example: for every 60 seconds of sound, it might play 0.3 seconds.(basically just a small burst of noise that sorta matched what was going on) the rest is complete silence.
The multi-function button on the headset is still able to pause/play content without issue. However all other controls ceased to function (can't change volume, skip, reverse, etc).
