AudioEngine stops randomly. Kernel related?

[Careless]

since updating to macOS 10.12.14, I've been seeing a recurring problem with my audio cutting out during streams and causing any browser player to show a spinning buffer icon until audio reconnects.
 
my setup is as follows
i7-2600k on Asus P8P67 Deluxe running with a good DSDT, and using clover to generate C/P states (works great)
Bios version 3602
Sony Playstation Wireless Headset

 

It's truly a one file install (DSDT), and it never suffered from audio issues like this before macOS Sierra update.
 
The last time I tried to get audio working, it was determined that the Toleda or voodooHDA drivers or any ALC audio drivers do not work with Bios 3602, but that's fine because I don't use speakers, I use wireless headsets all the time. The bios update was a necessity to allow me to run a true UEFI boot, as I discovered that clover UEFI booting does not work with previous versions of the motherboard bios.
 
So with the wireless headset in mind, I've been trying to figure out why I have these audio issues, and why the audio engine is disconnecting and reconnecting my devices

I caught this in the console log just as it was happening.

My audio device (wireless headset) reconnects, and it resumes playing of youtube streams or whatnot, but I can't figure out what triggers the problem or why stopAudioEngine( ) is performed by the kernel.

 

Any ideas?
