[SOLVED] Unable to use onboard bluetooth on Pi Zero 2 W (due to a defective board)

[Sniglar]

@Lukesan Most of my bluetooth speakers appear to work with Pi Zero 2 W as @jenzd describes. The exception is a pair of Creative Metallix Plus speakers which, when connected to a Pi Zero 2 W either individually or as a stereo pair, behave exactly as you describe with extremely regular music interrupts.
