macOS Monterey 12.3 Bluetooth connection problems since update

Upgrade to Monterey 12.3 couple days ago on my MacBook Air 2020. Since then, my bluetooth headphones and BT mouse are lagging, randomly disconnecting and reconnecting every few minutes or so. As this has never happened before the upgrade, I thought it was quite unusual. Anybody else with similar issues or any fixes?

I have the same problem since Monterrey! MacBook Pro early 2015. Multiple devices became incompatible and I have connectivity issues.

My headphones from anker sound core life q30 stopped working with my Mac do the the update they became incompatible. (Don't know how it's possible with bluetooth). Also my UE boom 2 speakers also are incompatible... Whilst my Xiaomi bluetooth speakers still works. Super strange!

The bluetooth issues show up while in teams or zoom. When I switch between full screens and I do something heavier then just zoom. The bluetooth stutters and suddenly the headphones become quiet no Sound and mic. I have to turn bluetooth on and off in settings for it to work again.

Happens with my airdpods 2nd gen and AirPods Pro.

Restting bluetooth by deleting plists and command center actions didn't work yet. SMC reset neither.

so turning off the airplay receiver seems to help for newer MacBooks https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOSBeta/comments/qjgqjx/i_think_ive_found_a_fix_for_the_bluetooth/

or forcing apt x https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253695375

updated today to 12.4 on my 2015 pro and still no fix… are we the only ones?!

I am using Airpod 3 connect with Macbook pro 2020 OS Monterey 12.3, the connection is very bad. It is randomly disconnecting and reconnecting every few minutes.

Monterey 12.3.1 (21E258) MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)

No issues prior to update. Post-update - if lid is closed, and opened, bluetooth does not behave as expected. It does not automatically connect, it does not connect if the bluetooth top menu icon is clicked, and then the device is clicked (infinite spin upon click + no connection). It does not connect when selecting something (for example air pods) from the audio options when clicking the audio icon in the top menu

Workaround: User is required to force quit bluetoothhd process in activity monitor to connect to a bluetooth device.

Workaround is an unacceptable solution due to the level of entry and doesn't "just work" as expected.

Like many users, I have also been having Bluetooth issues since upgrading to Monterey, I have updated all the MacOS as much as I can and I'm on 12.4 but with every version upgrade, nothing is fixed and Bluetooth will drop several times a day. Sometimes it re-connects back straight away, other times, I won't be able to connect for 5 - 10 mins.

I have Activity Monitor on all day and when Bluetooth drops, there isn't any excessive CPU or memory usage. Sometimes, when my Mac is busy doing Time Machine backups I see the Bluetooth issue more but there doesn't seem to be any pattern.

Have tried everything to reset Bluetooth, delete pref, remove/add the device again, reset NVRAM and SMC and nothing works

I'm having this issue as well since I upgrade to Monterey version, I am using a MX Master 3 mouse and K375s Multi device keyboard both from Logitech and they work fine, however as soon as I connect my AirPods Pro to the computer I start getting issues with the all of the devices. I usually use the AirPods for Zoom meeting with other team members and they tell me that my voice is weird, like robotic and they cannot understand me. If I disconnect mouse and keyboard the issue gets resolved, but before Monterey I was able to connect all of them at the same time without a problem... I hope apple fixes this issue soon since it's really annoying

Same here!! This is unacceptable!

+1 here. Same issue. M1 w/ Monterey 12.3.1 keeps disconnecting any bluetooth audio device. No matter which brand it is.

Apple Support, where are you?

+1 Here. I'm using Logitech mx keys for typing and the battery status is buggy since the update. the estimated battery is buggy and consuming much more than before updates. with sound, I have a sennheiser 450bt and a oneplus buds pro, with both of then the sound randomically becomes laggy and sometimes gets disconected. specially with more than 1 software at the same time using sounds like zoom + Spotify. Please, apple, fix this.

I tried most of the solutions in this thread; this is what finally fixed it for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOSBeta/comments/qjgqjx/i_think_ive_found_a_fix_for_the_bluetooth/

TLDR: Preferences > Sharing > Disable Airplay Receiver

No change in 12.5. Losing income because of this now.

Same issue here. Can't work because of this. When I wanna select something and move until I get to the target point the mouse is losing the connection and drops the folder randomly.

Problem remains here and disabling AirPlay did not resolve. MacBook Air M1 2020 with Galaxy Buds Live.

Can someone help me?
