Windows 10: AirPods on new Windows 11 computer don't play notifications when nothing else is playing.

I recently purchased a new computer as my old one was nearing its EOL, Windows wouldn't even let me upgrade it to Windows 11, despite it having 1 generation too old of a CPU than the one they require. Anyway, on Windows 10 with my AirPod Maxs, if I had nothing playing, when something like Discord, Facebook or Telegram would get a message, I could hear the notification in my headset. But now on my Windows 11 machine, I can't. If I have music playing or like a game ALT+TAB'd that's looping noise or something, I can hear the notification. But if there's complete silence, I can't hear it. Sometime

Airpods not playing ALL PC audio

Hi everyone,

I have a specific issue about certain sound sources not playing through bluetooth-connected Airpods. This problem is occurring on an HP laptop that runs Windows 10. The issue is that audio from Spotify and Youtube plays through my Airpods, however audio
from a Zoom meeting does not and continues to play out of my laptop's speakers, even when, for example, Spotify is playing through my Airpods simultaneously.

In the Bluetooth devices settings page, under the Audio section, it says my Airpods are 'Connected voice, music". I believe the "music" part of that is why sound from Spotify and Youtube will play through the Airpods but not audio from Zoom, for example.
I want ALL sound from my PC to go through my Airpods. Any ideas how to fix this? I do not own another set of bluetooth headphones.

I have tried going into the Advanced audio settings page titled "App volume and device preferences", under which I can specify which apps go through which audio output. Even when I changed Zoom's setting to go through my Airpods, the Zoom audio was not routed
to my Airpods and continued to play through the laptop's speakers.

Thank you in advance.

 

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.
