Ventura - Bluetooth Audio Output is muffled

Using Ventura 13.0 with OBS 28.0.3 and a Bluetooth speaker (HK Onyx 4).
When using any audio output and BT with HK, works fine, sounds clear.
If I start OBS, the audio is muffled and has a "fuzzy" sound to it. This applies to any audio played on the Mac via the BT speaker (notifications, alerts, music, Spotify, etc).
If playing music, there is a pause(cut out of audio) when OBS starts as if OBS is "taking over" the audio for the Mac and then the "fuzzy" starts. Quit OBS, music is paused again and normal sound returns.
I disabled all audio under OBS, but it made no difference.

How can I solve?

Additional info...I tried connecting the HK via aux cable (so Mac reports as external headphone). No issue with audio. So it is definitely something up with the bluetooth audio. Driver issue? something else?
