I have 2 HomePods as a stereo pair. The left one has always been the one listening and responding to me. Now, for some reason the communication has switched to the right one. Why? How do I change it back?

Airpods pro 2 disconnecting when answering call I just bought some airpods pro 2 yesterday. I’m currently using an Iphone Xs. Everytime I answer a call with the headphones they disconnect and take about 10-15 sec until they reconnect. I’m on ios 16.1.1. The store replaced me the airpods as they thought it’s a hardware the defect but it’s the same with the new pair. I called the apple support and they couldn’t hell me as well and told me to reset my phone and update it again with the computer but nothing helped. I’m really hoping that this is something that can be resolved with a software update otherwise I just threw 300€ into the waste. I read on reddit that multiple people have this issue using the iphone Xs. Please let me know if there is a fix ASAP

Press the top of the left one and ask it the time, then use Hey Siri to ask again. The left one should now reply.
