Airpods Windows 7

I also have this problem, and finally solved it. You may refer to following steps:

1. Check "computer management". If the bluetooth equipment is "Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator" then you must have issue to pair AirPods (error message: no driver), because MS Win7 native BT driver doesn't support AirPods, but Win10 does.

2. Check your PC/latop vender's official support web page, find and download proper bluetooth drive for your chipset module. E.g. for HP Probook 640G1, http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5405133&swLangOid= 2&swEnvOid=4061

3. Install the BT driver (it may take 3 minues), and if you see "Bluetooth Auxiliary" and your BT brand item (e.g. Intel Bluetooth) appear in "computer management" window, then congratulations. (see pic1)

4. Ignore the BT equipment without driver. Pair your AirPods and get music and handfree link connected (see pic2). Change your PC/latop sound volume output option to "Bluetooth Headset". Enjoy your AirPods with Win7!

The unperfect thing on my latop is background noise in AirPods when play. I'm trying to find more versions of BT drivers to improve the sound quality.

I can't pair airpods with pc Windows 7 x64 (Dell e7270).

I've update Intel Bluetooth driver up to latest vers.:19.0.1629.3590 but Windows see Airpods, adds as a headset device, but shows /!\ sign and note that driver is wrong.

As well don't add Airpods as playback device.

Ideas?

May be other BTdriver fits?

Also there is no "Bluetooth Auxiliary" in devices list - is it meter and how to solve?

Ok with all Apple devices.

thanks.

I spoke to support and they have not info on Windows 7. She was going to post the issue internal at Apple but was not willing to give me follow up updates. I spoke to a superviser and he said they were designed for Apple products. I got mine to pair and could hear fine but the mic isn't working.

1.solve the periferal device driver problem from video link below :

[Solved] Bluetooth Peripheral Device Driver connect headset ,mobile phone Samsung galaxy s4 - YouTube

2. then pair airpods with window using back case button of airpods

3. then change audio output device from control panel >sound> manage audio devices> select ur wireless headset (airpods)

it worked for me 🙂

I do too, I can't hook them up to my work computer. They pair, but it doesn't have a driver.

Hi all,

I encounter the same issue.

I had this same problem, but after I downloaded the official HP bluetooth driver for my laptop, they paired fine and audio is working now.

Please note: Intel(R) Wireless Blutooth driver 17.1.1407.474 does NOT support AirPods, the verion 19.0.1603.630 and above can support AirPods.

Updating my bluetooth driver to the latest Intel bluetooth driver for Windows 7 - 64 bit did the trick. Sweet!

Did you put the AirPods in BT pairing mode by holding down the button on the case? Which version of BT does your computer use?

what is your system? HP?

Hi, try to download latest bluetooth driver from the vendor (i.e INTEL). verify you device model on the device manager: then click on properties, the click on driver tab.

Took me 1 min and done! Thank you!!
