sound system on Mac

I am unable to properly connect my AirPods to my Mac and when they say that they are connected the MacBook Pro fails to play any sound. I have all sound buttons on. It says it is playing even though it is not making sound.

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

No sound output from AirPods Have followed all the guides on here to no avail. AirPods appear to be connected but no sound is coming from them. I have opened sound settings in system preferences and selected output audio to come through AirPods, which it says is happening yet the only audio comes from my MacBook speakers. I have tried reseting my AirPods multiple times but nothing works. *it says this problem is in relation to my old MacBook with iOS 10.14 but I am currently experiencing this problem on my MacBook Pro 2019 with the latest iOS installed.

Airpods Pro connected but no sound I have used airpods pro for like more than 3 months. There has been no problem except the problem with the sound. The airpods are connected but when I play something, the sound comes out of the macbook pro's speaker. So, I go into system preferences, sound, output, it is set to macbook speaker. Ok, so I change it to airpods, then it just changes itself back to macbook speaker. It happened before and it just worked but now it is going very long like 3 weeks. I am so frustrated.
