Airpods Pro Connected With No Sound on Windows 10

I recently made a purchase of the AirPods Pro to use both with my iPhone and my Windows 10 operating Dell XPS laptop. They were working fine when I first got them but they're now having some issues. I am able to pair and connect them flawlessly, but when
I start playing anything with audio, even the sound test feature, the audio cuts out completely within a few milliseconds. One strange thing I've found is that when I switch between the Noise Cancelling and Transparency modes, I hear the audio playing on my
laptop crackling through the AirPods. Other than this, I hear nothing. I have tried all the basics (updating drivers, unpairing and repairing, messing with the sound settings for the AirPods) with no luck. Any help in fixing this would be appreciated!

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.
