Windows 10: Airpods Max USB C Wired support for Windows

I can't seem to find a definitive answer to these questions.Do Airpods Max USB-C support wired mode on a Windows computer?Will I need the usb-c to 3.5mm cable or can I use the included usb-c to usb-c cable?I plan to use them wireless for my apple devices, but wired for my main computer windows. I don't want to use them wireless because of latency. I don't care for lossless or anything like that as long as they sound good enough for a bit of gaming and a bit of editing, It's fine.

Windows 10 21H1 with AirPod Max does not work

I am currently trying to get the AirPod Maxs connected properly to my Windows 10 work machine. I got it to connect crystal clear audio to the head phones through Robert's AirPods Max Stereo. The audio sounded amazing and almost 1:1 from what I was used to. However, I wanted to enable my mic for Discord calls to a friend, and started messing with stuff, now NOTHING works.

This is what I bought to enable Bluetooth connectivity.

There's currently two listed devices.

Headset: Robert's AirPods Max Hands-Free AG Audio (Sounds like complete **** on both the mic and earphones)

Headphones: Robert's AirPods Max Stereo (These sound the best when they work)





I tried forcing it to look for a better driver, but nothing has worked.

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

I understand the issues you're experiencing with your AirPods Pro on your Windows 10 PC. It seems like you've already tried some common troubleshooting steps. Here are a few more suggestions you might consider:

1. Re-pair your AirPods: Remove your AirPods from the list of paired devices on your PC and then re-pair them. This could help reset the connection between your AirPods and your PC.
   
2. Reset your AirPods: According to Apple, you can reset your AirPods Pro by pressing and holding the setup button on the back of the charging case for about 15 seconds until you see the status light flashing amber. After resetting, you can try re-pairing them with your PC.
   
3. Disable the Hands-Free Telephony service: Go to Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Devices and Printers. Find your AirPods, right-click on them and select "Properties". Then go to the "Services" tab and uncheck "Hands-Free Telephony". Click Apply and OK, then try reconnecting your AirPods.
   
4. Check Bluetooth services: Press Win+R, type "services.msc" and press Enter. In the Services window, find "Bluetooth Support Service", right-click it and select "Restart". Then, right-click it again, select "Properties" and set the startup type to "Automatic". Repeat these steps for "Bluetooth Audio Gateway Service".
   
5. Check for interference: Other wireless devices and electronic equipment can interfere with Bluetooth connections. If possible, move your PC and AirPods away from other devices and try again.
   
6. Seek professional help: If none of these steps resolve your problem, it may be worth bringing your PC and AirPods to a professional for a check-up.
