Apple Airpods Bluetooth issue on Windows 11

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.

Okay so,

I've read through most of this and have resolved this for myself. I tried changing the DisableAbsoluteVolume, forgetting and uninstalling the air pods/drivers. Restarted, nothing.

As a last attempt I uninstalled all air pod drivers under under Audio Inputs, Bluetooth, and Sound, Video and Game Controllers, I disabled the instance in sound settings (run mmsys.cpl), and I "Forgot" them from the windows 11 Bluetooth settings. 

I restarted the laptop, and in the meantime I "Forgot" them from my iPhone. I have Apple Air pods Gen 2. held the button down with them in the case for 15 seconds or so until there's an amber light. Then, when the light turns white, let go. This should reset them.

I first paired to my laptop after it booted back up, and boom fixed.

    God, thank you so much. I've had this issue for over a month now and tried every method and thought about downgrading back to W10, but this helped.
