Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
Exact Sony WH-1000XM4 over Bluetooth. Bluetooth Classic media frequently interrupts; the manufacturer app recognises this exact model. This is a reversible quality/stability comparison and cannot promise elimination of all radio interference. No wired-audio procedure, factory reset or pairing-list clear is included.
Connection scope: Bluetooth. Symptom: Audio keeps cutting out.
This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.
If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
