Apple Airpods Bluetooth issue on Windows 11
alfarizoid
Windows 11 handles audio headsets with a different codec (ACC) than Windows 10. This is what fixed it for me:
Open device manager and uninstall any devices with a name of your AirPods in the following sections: "Audio Inputs and Outputs" / "Bluetooth" / "Sound, Video and Game Controllers"
Restart your computer
Reset your AirPods (Open the case and hold the button on the back until and amber light comes on and then goes white again - About 10 seconds)
Pair your AirPods with your computer again
- Worked for me and my airpods sound way better
TheSnuffShow It worked for me, but I have to repeat the process every time I turn off the computer. It's a real hassle.
- This worked great - THANK YOU!
TheSnuffShow Thanks this worked well for me.
At first, I thought it was just the ordinary pairing. It didn't work. Remember, the guy said press and hold for 10 seconds until the "amber" led appears and back to white. This is where some guys missed it. It fixed my Windows 11 pairing issue. Best regards.

Hi this is absoultely the perfect answer. Now it is OK for me. Thanks a lot and hope this can help more people.
- Yes! This worked, i had to hold it in slightly longer than 10 seconds, but once the amber light flashed again it worked. Hooray
TheSnuffShow it worked for me just wants to add extra step. After restarting remove device from Bluetooth setting and then again add it.
100% works, thank youTheSnuffShow
- Same issue here. Nothing has fixed it yet
- not work to me. So said.
- I followed the procedure you listed and it worked just fine for me!
