AirPods Pro 3 issues with Samsung Frame TV bluetooth

My new AirPods Pro 3s will connect to the Samsung Frame TV over bluetooth and sound fine, but then when you pause the content or switch streaming apps or any kind of change it gets static for a few seconds and then the sound goes out. I have to go into the TV bluetooth settings and disconnect them and reconnect and then it works again until you pause or do any of the things mentioned. My AirPods Pro 1 headphones never had this issue. Is anyone else having this problem with the new AirPods Pro 3 headphones and a Samsung TV?

I had the same issue. I have 4 Samsung TV’s with the same exact problem occurring. I spent hours on support troubleshooting. Eventually they had me return them for another pair.Unfortunately I had the same exact issue with the replacement pair. Any pause in say a YouTube video , or fast forwarding and then playing would result in loss of sound. Issue also occurred watching regular tv if there was an extended moment of silence. A rep from Apple called me 3 times documenting the issue to pass along to engineers. I don’t have this issue with my AirPod pro 2’s. I eventually decided to give up and return them.
