Apple Airpods Max do not connect via bluetooth consistently.

[Vitali Fridman]

After fresh install of 22.10 Apple Airpods Max connected and worked with sound out as well as microphone. Unfortunately this was the only time. All subsequent attempts to connect bluetooth did not work. Verified it with another pair of identical headphones - same problem. To make it clear it's bluetooth that is not connecting.

I was not accurate in my description. The headphones actually never worked, never establish bluetooth connection. They do work well with 22.04.1, but not with 22.04.
