Does not work with unoriginal AirPods

Does this only work for original AirPods?

I don't know how you define "original". If an "unoriginal" AirPods can not be recognized on iOS, then this program should not work for it.

This "unoriginal" AirPods I used for the program is recognisable in iOS, animations and all. Unfortunately the program only says "Disconnected" when I bound it (did this for several times, too). Any way to fix it?

Please make sure your AirPods are connected to your PC in the Windows Bluetooth settings. if so, start the program with --trace parameter and post its log file here.

How do I do that? I'm sorry I'm so new to this coding thing so I still have no idea.

Open CMD or Powershell, cd to the location of this program, execute .\AirPodsDesktop.exe --trace and wait for program to be opened.

Then, connect your AirPods in Windowss Bluetooth settings. If this program is still shows "Disconnected", right-click the tray icon of this program, click on "Settings", click on "Open logs directory", upload the *.log files here.

AirPodsDesktop.log Here's the .log file on the directory.

Guessing from the log you provided, your Bluetooth receiver device doesn't seem to be working, could you confirm that your AirPods can hear sound from your PC? Please try restarting your computer once.

So, I restarted my PC, removed all peripherals (USB headset and external HDD), then did everything again and played some music. The music plays fine on the AirPods, yet the problem still persists.

Here's the current logs:

Could you please type winver in the Start menu and enter, then take a screenshot and upload it here?

That's a little strange. Sorry, I have no idea why it doesn't work for you right now either. I will try to investigate it later. Thank you for the information you provided! That would be very useful.

[luine123]

Thank you! Will also monitor here on my side in case there might be any development. It's also an AirPods Pro model, in case I forgot to mention previously.
