Windows 10: Airpods connect but dont connect audio

im having a issue where only my airpods dont work with my of i have other speakers that work my airpods connect but also dont connect its very strange it says they are connected but in network manager and in my audio select area they dont show and they also dont make the noise and just stay in pairing mode even though my pc says they are connect

:)

 

Airpods are connected, but no audio or mic.

Previously it would say Connected, Voice, Music, but this no longer is the case. The audio does not work.

This is not a problem with my AirPods as it works perfectly fine with other devices.

List of things I've tried that did not solve the problem:

Removing the device and reconnecting

Trying to connect from sound, when trying to connect to the airpod it would not show up.

Restarting Bluetooth drivers

Checking and installing updates for the computer.

Restarting the computer.

My make and model: Lenovo 82SX

 

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.

 

AirPods Pro automatically connecting to laptop when it starts

Hi Ian,

Thank you for getting back to me. I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble finding the "Options" button under Bluetooth settings. Here's a more detailed step-by-step guide to help you:

> Click on the Start menu and select Settings (the gear icon).

> In the Settings menu, select Devices.

> Click on the "Bluetooth & other devices" option on the left-hand side.

> Under the "Audio" section, find your AirPods Pro and click on the "Connect" button if they're not already connected.

> Once your AirPods Pro are connected, click on the "Manage" button.

> In the Manage menu, click on the drop-down arrow next to your AirPods Pro and select "Remove device."

> After your AirPods Pro are removed, turn them off and back on again.

> Go back to the "Bluetooth & other devices" menu and click on the "+" button to add a new device.

> Select "Bluetooth" and wait for your AirPods Pro to appear in the list of available devices.

> Click on your AirPods Pro to connect them, but do not check the "Connect as an audio device" option.

> After your AirPods Pro are connected, click on the "Options" button next to them.

> In the "Options" menu, turn off the toggle switch next to "Connect to This Device" under the "Automatically Connect to This Device" section.

I hope this helps you solve the problem. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Best regards,
