Hey everyone. I've had a gps only series 9 for about 8 months. In the last two weeks, I've started using it to play music via bluetooth more. When I connect it to an $8 dongle I got for my car, there's no problems. It works great. But if I connect it to my AirPods Pro 2's, 9 out of 10 times it will connect fine and then the music will play in a lower key than it should with the audio chopping out every second or so, but never stopping. Turning off bluetooth and turning it back on fixes it until the next time my AirPods are connected. I'm tried removing the AirPods, restarting the watch, and the watch was recently reset 4 times thanks to Apple Support trying to solve an issue with the browser not working right. I'm not sure what else to try. Could it be the AirPods themselves? They don't do it with my iPad, iPhone, or Mac mini.
Any suggestions or help is appreciated!
