Macbook Air speaker volume low after disconnecting Airpods

Apple support,

I have encountered this issue many times, and I am seeing many people on these forums with the same issue. When I disconnect my Airpods Pro, my Macbook Air's speaker volume is very low (barely audible).

Resetting NVRAM is a TEMPORARY FIX. Restarting computer, Airpods, disconnecting and reconnecting, all of these things are TEMPORARY FIXES. The issue gets fixed, and then resurfaces again once Airpods are disconnected. Those are not acceptable solutions for those of us who make extensive use of our computers and headphones for work.

My computer's OS is Catalina, fully updated, but I've been having this problem for the past several OS versions.

Do we have a real, permanent solution to this problem yet?

Thank you
