I have a 2016 15” MacBook Pro with Big Sur.

I have Bluetooth problems. AirPods will periodically disconnect or will cut in and out when watching videos. Sometimes the whole computer will freeze up and all the Bluetooth devices connected will disconnect and then reconnect. Magic Mouse, keyboard, etc.

I’ve already tried resetting SMC, PRAM, Bluetooth module, removing and re-adding all devices and deleting the files and folders in the HAL folder, deleting the Bluetooth preferences file. Nothing has worked.

Are there any other fixes?
 
I'd also run Apple Diagnostics to see if there's any hardware issues.
Turn off your Mac; disconnect everything (all the periphery); turn on your Mac, then immediately press and hold the D key on your keyboard as your Mac starts up; release when you see a progress bar or you're asked to choose a language.
Check the report in the end, google will help to understand the errors (if there's any).
