Windows 10: windows 10 slower to respong to things when gen 2 airpods connected

for some reason windows 10 seems to be slower to respond to things when my generation 2 airpods are connected.I have tried to unpair and reset the airpods then repair, restart windows 10, reset settings, uninstall drivers, but none of those worked.

Airpods connected but no sound

SOLVED: For me anyway...

I just managed to get mine working on Windows 10. Not sure if it will work for everyone, but seeing how we haven't gotten answers from MS on this, here is what I did.

Like most of you, the AirPods (gen 2 in my case) are paired and connected fine. If I have external speakers on and talk into my AirPod mics, that part works. However, Video, Music, and Game audio was not. After reading a few things online including this thread, I realized the whole time I was trying to "Set Default" on the AirPods for playback... I was picking the wrong one. When I paired them, 2 devices showed up under the Playback tab... "AirPods Stereo" and "AirPods Hands-Free AG Audio". Seeing the latter on the Recording tab, I assumed that was the Microphones on the AirPods. But it's actually both Recording and Playback. It seems "AirPods Stereo" isn't doing anything other than showing up in the Playback list.

Solution for me: Change the "AirPods Hands-Free AG Audio" to Default.

Everything worked after that. So ignore that "AirPods Stereo" device and set the default on both the Playback and Recording tabs to "AirPods Hands-Free AG Audio".

I hope this helps at least 1 of you out. I'm attaching a screenshot pointing to the correct device.

 

Airpods connected but no sound

THIS WORKED FOR ME! The audio quality however is terrible for me, is it the same for you? Compared to any other headset or speaker connected to my PC, the AirPods quality is abysmal. It works and I'm happy that something is coming out of em. Hope anyone who has them working can respond and thanks in advance.

 

Airpods (Gen 1) disconnecting from Windows 11 Laptop.

A really annoying problem has been going on between my Airpods and my Windows 11 laptop. Every time I connect my Airpods to the laptop with Bluetooth, the left side works for about one minute then disconnects, while the right one works perfectly fine. This has somehow managed to happen every single time I connect them too, even whenever they're fully charged. They're newly bought, and work perfectly fine with my iPhone, though seem to have problems with my laptop. Here's a list of things I've already tried to help fix this problem.

-Set both "Bluetooth Audio Gateway Service" and "Bluetooth Support Service" to Automatic.

-Uninstall "Microsoft Bluetooth LE Enumerator" from Services.

-Run the Bluetooth Troubleshooter.

-Check for new updates in Windows.

-Reset Airpods (Remove device then add them back)

-Attempt to update Airpods Driver in Services. (It already had an updated driver)

-Switched to the "Balanced" Powerplan in Services.

-Disconnect other Bluetooth devices to see if they interfered with the Airpods connection.

Really hoping you can help my issue.

If this helps any, I have a Lenovo Ideapad 3 Intel Core i3 (10th Gen)
