Bluetooth headset keeps popping and crackling, it stops when i use line out

English Hardware

Long story short, after rebooting i noticed a crack/popping sound and the audio straight up cuts out from time to time, its very subtle but subtle enough that its consistent.
This is a very odd issue that i have never had before, i’m curious if anyone else is suffering from the same issue after the recent snapshot, For now im using line out on instead of bluetooth since that seems to fix it(Makes sense since its analogue)

Do you have multiple devices connected to your bluetooth headset at the same time?

I use a bluetooth headset with my desktop PC. I often have the headset connected to both my smartphone, and to my desktop PC at the same time. This will occasionally cause a drop out in audio from my desktop PC, typically if watching a youtube video (for maybe a fraction of a second - just enough to be noticeable). But if I disable the bluetooth on my smartphone, such that the phone is not using the bluetooth headset at the same time, this very very short drop out behaviour of the audio from my desktop PC goes away. This behaviour was on LEAP-15.2 … I have recently installed LEAP-15.4 on this desktop PC and I will see if the behaviour returns.
