[leo981008]

[MrBeanCpp]

What's your AirPods model? Is it AirPods Pro 2(USB-C) 2023 ?

[leo981008]

AirPods 2

[MrBeanCpp]

You may need to pair the airpods with your PC in advance, then take out the aripods from the box and put them on. And unbind in the settings, and try binding again.

Hey @leo981008 try changing the Bluetooth maximum receiving range all the way to the left, I tried it and it worked, I realized by looking into the logs that the RSSI "-96" was less than the minimum "-80"
