Subject: [Issue Report] Realtek 8852AE Bluetooth audio issues while using WiFi

Hi,

I'm running 6.1.0-3 kernel and getting Bluetooth audio glitches constantly
on a pair of buds and all the time when WiFi is connecting and working on
RTL 8852AE card. Some Bluetooth audio devices work fine without issue. But
some devices get glitchy audio all the time when Wifi is being used. The
audio becomes more and more glitchy as the WiFi use increases. [1] mentions
that the problem for Realtek 8723BE gets solved by switching to 5GHz wifi
or upgrading drives. Is this issue present on other operating systems for
this chip as well? Can it be solved for Linux if Wifi is used at 2.4 GHz?

Any pointers on this problem would be much appreciated.
