Burmester Bass Cuts Out When Driving Over 60-70+ MPH

Hi All! I have a W205 2015 C Class with Burmester sound system and recently I have noticed the bass cuts out when driving on the motorway at around over 60-70mph. I have the bass in the equalizer setting set at 9 but as soon as I reduce any of the following variables: the bass below 7 or decrease the volume or speed drops below 60mph the bass returns. This bass doesn't seem to cut out when listening to the radio, only when streaming through Bluetooth. I've had this car for over a year and I don't recall this ever happening before. I have had the Burmester speaker covers changed to ambient lighting doors speaker covers to match the rest of the interior lighting, but I don't see how this would affect the bass cutting out over a certain speed. I already reset the COMMAND Infotainment System and have the automatic volume setting turned off but to no avail. Does anyone know what's going on?

I've never experienced that before, maybe try a reset.

​​​​​​Hold the cd eject button down until the command reboots.

I had the same issue some years ago. A software update solved it. Specifically mention it when you take it in to the dealer and hopefully they can do the same.
