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 soft.

Bluetooth headsets with no preamp built-in are ALWAYS quiet.
1.) Configure your device first: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208718
2.) Configure the device in the Sound Control Panel MMC Snap-in -> Start -> Run -> MMSYS.CPL
3.) Configure Playback settings to use WASAPI (WaveOut) over DirectSound in your Music Player App
4.) Disable Logarithmic Volume Control in your Music Player App
5.) Optional: Consider a 3rd-party codec pack for Windows: https://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm
Jeremy905 this worked for me!...Thanks!
- In between HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and ControlSet001, go to System
- Neither of these fixes has worked.
- Same here on Win 11 Pro Verison 22000.282
Nothing has worked for me yet either. Airpods pro were working fine with Windows 10 and now no sound will come thru on 11. Tried uninstalling the drivers and repairing them and nothing works. It says they are connected and sound is coming through but it is not. thinh191

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!
- Also, I specifically checked the most on a laptop with windows 10. The sound in windows 11 is much quieter
- same here, the sound not comin to the max
