For me the sound crackles and has dropouts via bluetooth after the last update.
After installing Manjaro I always set it up like this in the past:
# install pulseaudio-modules-bt and libldac to gain lossless transfer modi for bluetooth headset
- sudo pacman -S pulseaudio-modules-bt libldac
- systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.socket
- systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.service
- systemctl --user start pulseaudio.socket
- systemctl --user start pulseaudio.service
