Flex Bluetooth audio delay when using Bluetooth headphones

For some time now the audio coming to my Bluetooth Beats headphones have gaps in the audio along with a delay / no sync with video. I’ve seen another post from April 2022 regarding a possible Flex firmware update breaking Bluetooth connectivity but I connect can pair my headphones just fine. Anyone else hearing this behavior?

i have tried disconnecting and forgetting the device. I will try my Apple earbuds next and update this post.
