I've just upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and got some strange issue on Bluetooth audio. The volume is seem softer than Windows 10 that I must turn the volume to Maximum but it is still too so...

    This worked for me:

    Go to start ->Run ->MMSYS.CPL

    select Playback tab ->then select the airpods pro (highlight) ->and click properties

     

    In the 'headphones' properties dialog box --> select Enhancement tab --> select Loudness Equalization (tick mark)

    Now click Apply and OK.

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

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.

      Yes! This worked, i had to hold it in slightly longer than 10 seconds, but once the amber light flashed again it worked. Hooray
