  1. AirPods not working properly with Windows 10


    I can connect my AirPods to my Windows 10 PC and they work great as headphones. But I would like to use them as a microphone and headphones. If I go to the taskbar and change my audio from "Headphones (AirPods Stereo)" to "Headset (AirPods Hands-Free AG Audio)" then I can use them as a headset, but then my audio sounds terrible and all muffled for me and for my friends when using Discord/Xbox party. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Connecting airpods

    My airpods are saying their connected and I never had a problem before with them. The sound keeps playing through the speaker instead of the airpods but their clearly connected. I really absolutely hate this computer since it was listed as being a good
    computer and its complete trash but it never didn't connect and work properly. Its a stupid hp windows 10 if that means anything but shouldn't. I just want to know why it isn't playing through my airpods but says connected.

  3. Airpod Pro Mic not working on Windows 10 pc

    Hi,

    I'm hoping someone can help me. Due to the pandemic I am working from home and I have recently purchased a pair of Apple Airpod Pro's for MS teams calls however I can't get the mic to work. I've connected the airpods to my windows 10 pc ok and they play
    sound fine however I don't have an option to select the the airpods mic. When I go to the sound
    settings>sound settings>sound control panel there's no option for the Airpods as a recording device:

    This is a bit strange as when I first connected the airpods to my pc they were an recording option but it didn't work.

    I've tried everything like installing the latest drivers, updating the latest windows updates etc. Has anyone had the same issue and got airpod pros mic working properly on windows 10? The mic works fine on my ipad and android phone so I know the mic works

    If it helps here are some of my PC details:

    • PC: HP Pavillion Gaming Notebook
    • Windows 10 Home version 1909
    • Bluetooth 4.0 (i think)

    I'm annoyed that I spent some time reading / watching reviews before deciding to purchase these Airpods and I did not come across anything about issues with the mic. I just thought being a high end, popular bluetooth wireless earphones that they would be
    100% compatible
