Bluetooth audio keeps cutting off

Hello! I'm new to Bazzite, and so far it's been a smooth ride apart from an issue with my Bluetooth headphones. The issue is that sometimes when playing music (mostly), they tend to cut out the sound for a split second, and sometimes for a full 2-3 seconds. This isn't random though, and I can trigger it by simply moving away from my laptop, or doing something performance-heavy in a different app. I've only tried changing codecs so far, but it hasn't helped much, and I haven't been able to tell a difference between them.

The only thing that seems to be helping is to just plug my headphones in, and the lag disappears. I'm not really used to having my headphones plugged in though, and I will definitely end up just dragging my entire laptop off the table when I forget I'm plugged in, so I'm asking kindly if anyone has any idea on how I can improve bluetooth audio performance.

Note that I'm coming from Windows, where I never had this issue before, so I'm assuming it's not my headphones, but rather a driver / config issue on Bazzite?

Any ideas appreciated!
