Iphone 14 Pro Max, MS Teams, Airpods 3rd Gen A2564 Do NOT WORK Hi, I bought new iPhone 14 Pro Max and today I was connected for my monday meeting on Teams from my iPhone 14 Pro Max with my Airpods 3rd generation. However with multiple tests the users could not hear me, I could hear them fine. I tested with multple people, i even disconnected and reset the Airpods connection. I still have my OLD iPhone 12 Pro max and they still work fine with it. It has to be the above combination of Iphone 14 Pro Max, MS Teams, Airpods 3rd Gen A2564 Do NOT WORK. Please advise. AJ

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

Airpods Pro 2 Connectivity Issues During Calls Devices: Airpods Pro Gen 2 iPhone XS ios : 16.1.1 Airpods pro gen 2 firmware: 5B58 My new airpods pro gen 2 do not work during incoming calls while it is clearly connected to my iPhone. Phone rings, i put my airpods on, it says ‘airpods connected’ on the screen, i answer but no sound. Also, caller cant hear me either. Same when i’m already using my airpods (listening to music), phone rings, i answer but nothing. Volume is up, sound output set to airpods, i confirm that airpods are connected but no sound. Mic not working too. For some reason it works when i am the one making the call. Also, couple of times it lost connection to my iPhone while listening to music. Tried resetting airpods connection(hard reset), restarting phone, resetting network settings on iPhone. Pretty much everything. Now what?

Hello,

Try these steps:

1) If you've not already done it, restart the phone

2) Check the charging port for lint or other debris

3) See this: If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker

4) See this: If your headphones don‘t work with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

5) Microphone issues: Get help with the microphones on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

6) Test again using the Voice Memos app

Good luck.
