    Airpod Pro Mic not working on Windows 10 pc

    Hi,

    I'm hoping someone can help me. Due to the pandemic I am working from home and I have recently purchased a pair of Apple Airpod Pro's for MS teams calls however I can't get the mic to work. I've connected the airpods to my windows 10 pc ok and they play
    sound fine however I don't have an option to select the the airpods mic. When I go to the sound
    settings>sound settings>sound control panel there's no option for the Airpods as a recording device:

    This is a bit strange as when I first connected the airpods to my pc they were an recording option but it didn't work.

    I've tried everything like installing the latest drivers, updating the latest windows updates etc. Has anyone had the same issue and got airpod pros mic working properly on windows 10? The mic works fine on my ipad and android phone so I know the mic works

    If it helps here are some of my PC details:

    • PC: HP Pavillion Gaming Notebook
    • Windows 10 Home version 1909
    • Bluetooth 4.0 (i think)

    I'm annoyed that I spent some time reading / watching reviews before deciding to purchase these Airpods and I did not come across anything about issues with the mic. I just thought being a high end, popular bluetooth wireless earphones that they would be
    100% compatible

    AirPods Mic not working

    So I recently had problems with getting my AirPods to connect to my Surface Book 2. Called Microsoft support, and they told me to delete the driver. Now my AirPods connect to my computer, but just for sound. The mic doesn't connect. Does anyone know where
    I can re-download the driver so that I can get the mic working again?

    Edit: Nevermind, it works again.
