AirPods no sound

My right AirPod will not play sound when connected to my 13 M1 laptop. It will work with my iPhone, but not with the laptop. It will pause, turn on and off noice cancelling, etc... but no sound.

Hi there Hector1959,


Thanks for joining us in Apple Support Communities! We understand the right side of your AirPods isn't working with your MacBook, but it works with your iPhone. We're glad you're here, and we'd like to learn more to see how we can help.


You'll want to start by working through the steps in this support article:


If your left or right AirPod isn't working


If that doesn't seem to help, do you have spatial audio turned on for your Mac? Are the noise cancellation or transparency features turned on for your AirPods with your Mac? Learn how to check here:


Use AirPods with your Mac


Also, which MacBook do you have and which macOS version is listed in the Apple menu () > About This Mac? This link provides details:


About System Information on your Mac


Send over these details, and let us know if the steps in the first link help. We'll take a closer look from there.


Cheers!
