Hi KatrinaJane18, is this also happening when you try your Airpods on a different computer?
Kindly check the steps below and see if you can change a couple of audio settings on your PC and check if it will have a different result.
- Find the audio logo in the bottom right corner, Right Click on it choose Sounds.
- On the top bar press Playback there should be ”xxxx Airpods Hands-Free” Right click on that device and disable it.
- Right click on ”xxxx Airpods Stereo” choose Properties go to the far right on the top Surround Sound or whichever is in there then click on that and from there choose Windows Sonic for Headphones
Worked perfectly! Many thanks!
