Audio dropouts during gaming (wireless headset)

I recently installed Bazzite Desktop Mode (bazzite-gnome-nvidia-stable-amd64.iso) to replace Win10 so I am fairly new to everything. One problem I have is my audio during gaming (or general heavier load?). After a few minutes I get dropouts (i.e. few seconds audio, few seconds no audio at all). These dropouts seem to get worse and worse. When I am just listening to music or watch YouTube, I don't have this problem.

What could cause this problem?

I use a Steelseries Arctis 7P+ Wireless headset. It comes with a USB 2.4 GHz dongle. The game I tested was Arc Raiders.

Specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
MSI Gaming Plus WIFI AMD B650 So.AM5 DDR5 ATX Retail
GTX 1080 TI
