Why Can’t You Connect AirPods To HP Laptop?
Your MacBook’s Bluetooth or the AirPods themselves might be the issue if they won’t connect. To fix this, typical issues and solutions are as follows:
Inactive Bluetooth:
Ensure that your laptop can connect to Bluetooth devices. If your AirPods are not connecting while in their case, try turning off Bluetooth and then reconnecting. To test connectivity, open the case, remove the AirPods, and then put them back into your ears.
Outdated Bluetooth Driver:
Due to the outdated Bluetooth driver, you might have encountered difficulty while trying to connect to AirPods. Try to install the latest driver and check if it works.
Can’t Connect Through Bluetooth:
If your other wireless headphones aren’t working, it’s likely because your laptop’s Bluetooth function is broken. You’ll need to fix your Bluetooth issue before you can continue using wireless headphones.
Inactive Pairing Mode On The AirPods:
If the white AirPods case light isn’t blinking, the device won’t recognize it during pairing. A few things you may try to get them working again are: Retrying to pair your AirPods after you’ve done so, making sure that both AirPods are in their case and that the case lid is open, and checking to see if your AirPods are connected to another device.
In Case Your AirPods Are Linked But Not Working:
