AirPlay disconnects when paused with B&W Formation audio zones (MacBook Pro, Tahoe 26.5.1)

Apple AirPlay drops when paused while using Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) Formation bluetooth audio zones. Is there a a way to prevent AirPlay disconnecting while music is paused for 10 minutes?


Specifically, I play Apple music via my Music app on my MacBook Pro connected to Bowers & Wilkins Formation Duo bluetooth connection speakers and a Formation Bass in that Formation zone.


Connection during play is normally smooth and synced up with my Bose computers speakers connected via USB to my MacBook Pro in my office.


If I pause the music via Apple Music app, within 10 minutes an exclimation point shows up on the AirPlay icon and those speakers drop their connection. If I want to play music again, I have to select those speakers again within the AirPlay list. They connect and music will again play but I face this every time I pause my Music AirPlay.


Is there a way to prevent this connection drop?
