It's not Off Topic Bro. So I moved it here into (DIY Hearing Aid Self-Fitting & Adjusting) category ;)

I have recently had my Mac die on me and because of the price I replaced it with a laptop running windows 11 but the sound keeps dropping out on my Phonak marvel aids via Bluetooth anyone else had or having this problem or more importantly found a solution, it never happened on the Mac even running windows 10 on it so I think it must be something to do with windows 11 , I have updated to latest Bluetooth driver checked for update firmware on aids but none to old I expect ( 6 years).

Perhaps you should look at the Bluetooth settings in your new Laptop instead of Bluetooth problems with your Phonak Marvels hearing aids. See example below. btw> Laptop Bluetooth issues is not my forte. So other members (please chime in) if you have experience with Laptop Bluetooth.

Settings / Control Panel / Bluetooth / Intel Wireless Bluetooth
Click the Power Management Tab
Is the box checked for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"

Thanks for replying, I have updated to the latest intel Bluetooth driver and checked what you linked to but still cuts in & out & I see other people are having same problem, I also see the Bluetooth LE drivers are very old 2006 but can’t find any other drivers.

I doubt you are using BLE wireless protocol.

Thanks for that. It is useful information.

Oh, can you say where others are having this problem??

This may be a dumb suggestion. But like I said, "Bluetooth issues is not my forte" :p
Can you try positioning your Laptop up close, (in front of your head and maybe to one side and then the other side) to see if this helps with the intermittent signal? I believe only one hearing aid receives the wireless transmission, and then that hearing aid sends it to the other hearing aid.
 
Yes lots of other people on other forums are having same problem, I have tried putting laptop by each ear still the same, it has to be to do with the windows 11 because it’s fine on my iPhone & my iPad & as I said before it was fine on my Mac & windows 10.
The reason I decided to try to see if there was an update firmware for my aids was apart from needing the target anyway was because I thought later windows my have needed later firmware on the aids but there was no update anyway but thanks for your suggestion.
