Bluetooth headphones sound crackling randomly for ~3 seconds.

[Antti]

24.04 Noble bluetooth connection to my headphones is unreliable and only carries short distance compared to Windows and I remember Jammy having much greater range and reliability too. Sound is crackling randomly few times in hour from 1 meter as if were out range. Laptop is Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga Gen5.

I seem to have this problem as well when using my Huawei Sound loudspeaker

24.04 chose as default aptX-LL and I changed it to SBC-XQ codec. With this I haven't had any issues after change. Sounds to my ear as good, but I don't have audiophile hearing. Headphones in my use are Valco VMK20.
