So unless you've updated or installed new hardware or software it's
probably not a firmware/software issue.

It's possible that wifi or usb 3.0 could be interfering with your
bluetooth speakers - eg
https://www.zdnet.com/article/usb-3-and-usb-c-devices-can-cause-problems-with-wi-fi-and-bluetooth-connections-but-theres-a-solution/
https://sortatechy.com/spot-and-fix-bluetooth-interference-with-wifi/

If your PC is using wireless and can use a 5Ghz channel, try moving
your PC wireless to a 5Ghz channel first.
If you PC only supports 2.4Gh wireless you can install linssid
  https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/linssid
and pick a relatively unused channel for your PC wireless.  Or just
try channels 1, 6 and 11 and see if any of those makes a difference..

If you're using a USB 3.0 device on your PC try turning it off or
moving it to a USB 2.0 port and see if that fixes the bluetooth
interference.
