Hello everyone,
Recently I started noticing that any audio playing through my bluetooth headphones is excessively choppy, investigating the issue, i found in journalctl that wireplumber was reporting:
```spa.bluez5.sink.media: Missing completion reports for packet (0 suppressed): Bluetooth adapter firmware bug?```, only bluetooth audio is affected, and my headphones will somtimes randomly disconnect too.
It seems that no matter what i try to do, this error remains and the audio is choppy, here is what i tried without success:
-[ ] Disabling bluetooth/wifi coexistence in /etc/modprobe.d/ by setting options ```iwlwifi bt_coex_active=0```
-[ ] Changing my kernel to 6.18 lts
-[ ] Updating firmware with fwupdmgr (fwupdmgr get-devices reports errors about unupdatable firmware due to missing UEFI ESP partition even though /boot is mounted correctly
-[ ] Fiddling around with the wireplumber config and trying to force a lower bitrate, a different audio codec (my headphones only support LDAC and AAC) or switching to mono output
-[ ] Disabling/Enabling Bluetooth Enhanced ReTransmission
No matter what i seem to try, the audio is still choppy to this day, and has been for a while, im running Hyprland on my thinkpad x1 gen8 yoga, and i cannot seem to find any other user with the same problem as mine, despite encountering this issue for about a month now.
Thank you for any help and please apologize and stupid mistakes i made, first time poster on the forums, though i have been reading threads quite often.
