Good Day DRichichards,
My name is Carlo, I am also using Windows 11 pc and community member like you. Let us work together to sort this out.
First, can you please try to pair your earbuds using other device for us to check if the issue is with the computer or the earbuds itself.
If the earbuds does not work using other device means that the earbuds is faulty, check the battery charge.
If the earbuds works with other device let me know.
What is the exact model of your computer?
To check the system model proceed with these steps.
-Press Windows key + R
-Type msinfo32 and hit enter.
-Look for the System Model and Manufacturer and post it here.
Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.
Sincerely,
Carlo T.
