Audio has stopped working reliably about 95% of the time

[DJR]

I'm used to the weekly reboots for audio, especially when it involves SiriusXM, but for some reason, ALL of my apps, including car play via BlueTooth have started glitching. I mean like 90's audio CD's on a bumpy road glitchy. I'm also experiencing hiccups, or massive hiccups that cause the audio to stretch and slow down. This happens across every app. Initially a reboot would resolve it, at least until I parked it again, but not it's happening immediately after a reboot. Cellular signal shows 2-3 bars, so I don't think that's the issue, and to reiterate, bluetooth does this as well. I can't seem to figure out a way to force audio over the USB cable from my phone (is that even possible on this car? it was on my old one).

It's gotten so bad I'm having to listen to my phone over its tiny speaker because the audio system just grates on my nerves. It's like a badly damaged CD, or a really crappy Zoom or Teams call. Robotic sounds, hiccups, cutouts, or the audio just stops working in all apps.

Rebooting no longer seems to help.

Any suggestions? I'm beyond frustrated.
