Hi there,

since more or less one week my airpods pro mic doesn't work anymore on windows 11.

If I go on Sound>properties>input settings the format is empty and the volume is on 0.

any idea what's going wrong?

thanks a lot

Best

Daniele

    I have followed all on these steps on a Think Pad T14 running the latest version of Windows 11 and the microphone still refuses to work.

    thanks for the suggestions...still no luck!

    sorry to hear, i was able to replicate this on another system, important, remove alle Airpods related in system-manager under

    Audi/Video and game-controllers and there is a section Audio in/out

    last one, all within section Bluetooth

    reset airpods, reboot system, add new

    check for latest bluetooth driver from your vendor , Intel for example should be higher as 200 Wireless Bluetooth-Paket® Version 22.200.0

    Intel® Wireless Bluetooth® for Windows® 10 and Windows 11*

    I put this in another thread about the same subject but the last time I tested, it worked normally and the mic functioned as expected. No special procedure was necessary. The problem has only happened prior with the AirPods Pro Gen 2.

    Intel Bluetooth driver version 22.240.0.2

    Windows 11 version 22621.2215

    One strange thing I noticed, was when the voice recorder was active, the audio output was louder than when I turned that off.

    3 sets of Apple Airpods this worked in some way

    remove all drivers related Airpods!

    reboot Win11

    reset Airpods

    pair new

    (please try to make sure the case is not connected via cable with your system) i am still testing on this one

    do not close the lid of charging-case - if possible

    kits a nightmare and seem MS wants we all order new sets of Teams-certified Headsets and seems Apple is not talking with Microsoft

    IT recommended to use cable headset - back to the future ;)
