Hey everyone, I've been facing a problem since I began assembling PCs, and I haven't managed to resolve it on my own. Three years ago, I built a strong machine using quality parts—like a Ryzen 9 and an Intel 2080 Super—and it performed perfectly. However, I encountered a Bluetooth issue where it would intermittently disconnect. Even after updating all the drivers, nothing fixed the problem. It would briefly connect before dropping out completely.

To solve it, I replaced the Bluetooth adapter with a USB 5.2 model and connected it to my keyboard, keeping the receiver close enough. This helped significantly. Also, I noticed this mainly happened when multiple Bluetooth devices were linked at once—my setup included Sony headphones and a DualSense controller, both of which are bandwidth-intensive.

Recently, I upgraded to a new PC with an MSI MPG B650 Edge WiFi board that supports Bluetooth 5.2. The issue has worsened: now it disconnects even when only one device is connected. When using my headphones, audio cuts out and doesn’t reconnect until I restart them. The controller also behaves erratically—signals get garbled if I move it or hold it too close to my body.

My PC still shows the headphones are connected, but the connection is unstable. It’s not a Windows version issue; I’ve tried all driver versions and settings, and even the latest updates didn’t help. My setup stays in the same spot under my desk, so signal strength shouldn’t be an issue. I’m wondering if this is related to hardware faults or just environmental factors. Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated!
