Windows 10: Apple AirPods over Bluetooth is having interference/garbled audio every minute

I have a pair of Apple Airpods that I am connecting to Windows10. However, exactly every minute the audio becomes garbled for a second or two then returns to normal for another minute. I suspect some Bluetooth interference is causing this but I don't get the same problem when connected to my iPhone at the same exact location. Any ideas?

:)

 

Problem with audio playing through Apple Airpods

I found this on the CNet website in less than 2 minutes with a search engine (Google

Go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices > Add Bluetooth or other device.

In the Add a device window, click Bluetooth.

Put your AirPods in their case and open the lid. Press and hold the button on the back of the case until you see the status light between your two AirPods start pulsing white, and then let go. Your AirPods should show up in the Add a device window. Click to
pair and connect.

After making the initial connection , you'll be able to reconnect your AirPods and your PC by returning to the Bluetooth & other devices page in Settings. You'll see all of your paired audio devices listed under the Audio header. Select your AirPods from
the list and click the Connect button.

 

Problem with audio playing through Apple Airpods

So the airpods are brand new so the problem has been from the first time ive used them with the laptop.

I have not tried any other bluetooth headset with the laptop as i dont have any others other than the apple ones.

The one solution i had found online had no effect which was ro do with power management settings for the bluetooth.

 

Do Apple Airpods work on Windows 10? I think not.

Hi,

Thank you for running and sharing the result of Bluetooth troubleshooter. We would like to know if you were able to use Apple AirPods microphone before on a Windows computer?

We would also suggest that you reach Apple Support to check if the microphone feature is designed to work with a Windows computer.

Looking forward to your reply.
