Youtube sound cutting out when using bluetooth headphones on Fedora

So when watching a YouTube video on my Fedora machine, the sound will cut out, and then a few second later a white loading circle will appear on the video. I suspect a related problem might be that when I try to listen to spotify, a similar problem arises where it says "The Current Song Cannot be Played" for every single song. These problems seemed to have cropped up since I moved the machine to a new office, so could a change in network cause them somehow? I also have noticed significantly increased lag.
Relevant details:
Browser: Chrome
Headphones: Bluetooth (any)
OS: Fedora 27
Thanks!

@MichaelHampton I should mention that the issues disappear if I plug my earbuds into the computer, or if I use the bluetooth speakers with a windows computer on the same internet. So it's some interaction between Fedora and the headphones. (As far as I can tell) Kiwy I'm wired in via ethernet. The only two sound sources I've checked have been youtube and Spotify. Are there other benchmarks I should consider to nail down the issue?

I'd suggest updating to Fedora 28; there have been improvements and bug fixes in pretty much every subsystem which might be to blame here.

Unfortunately this is an office computer so I can't update the OS on my own. However I seem to have mistaken, and I'm actually only one iteration behind (Fedora 27). I'll try to bug the IT guys into letting my update to 28.
