Keep bringing it back and show them the updated part on getbmwparts and tell them to bring in the shop foreman to approve. Mine had to be done under a repair order. Also, next time it happens, try to record it on your phone on a bass heavy song and also capture the sound settings (bass, treb, eq) to show a baseline and then take a second video when it’s working fine with the same bassy song and the same audio settings.

My local service center had 4 vehicles with HK and Live Cockpit Plus/Pro affected by this that after fixing mine they now default to the repair I provided from the PUMA. They submitted the feedback to BMW and there should be a bulletin soon.

Careful, the part takes some time to come in from Germany (mine took 2 weeks).
