Audio issues with AirPods Pro 2 during long video calls

I've been using AirPods Pro 2 for almost 2 years now without any major problems. They're connected to my iPhone, MacBook, and Apple Watch (switching automatically between devices).

My setup:

• MacBook connected to an external monitor via USB-C (for video and power)
• Monitor has audio output (not in use)
• Occasionally, audio switches to monitor output automatically

Issue:

I'm on video calls for about 7 hours a day using various conferencing tools (Teams, Zoom, and specialized third-party software). After some time, I start experiencing audio distortions. It's not static, but more like the sound rapidly switching between left and right earbuds. This happens especially when I'm multitasking - switching between the video call window and other applications.

Temporary fixes:

1. Reconnecting via Bluetooth
2. Briefly switching to speakers and back to AirPods (see screenshot)

Has anyone experienced similar issues or found a permanent solution? I'm wondering if it's related to:

• Long usage time
• Interference from multiple connected devices
• Software conflicts with video conferencing tools

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
