Hey, I just got mine to work on my Samsung (was having this problem too - no sound or very choppy sound if it did manage to come through for a bit) by changing the audio format from Bitstream to PCM. Hope it works for others.

This is what I did to fix:


1st Step:Ensuring the TV output is PCM ( not sure if this was the fix)

2nd Step: Factory reset airpod pro and turn off all other devices that may connect with the airpods


The 2nd step was most likely the fix. I originally was connected to airpods but no sound. Then trying agian it was connected to the airpods with airpods name and "find my" at the end. Then after factory reset (and connecting while all other devices such as iPhone bluetooth turned off) it worked!

Hello, today I tried for first time AirPods Pro to Samsung TV and same problem with "no sound" happend to me.


Even after reading this thread, I didn't find working solution.


And finally I tried one thing, simply get wolume up using airpods touch gesture and it works! So my problem was 0 volume after connection. Only using airpods volume gesture solves my problem. I tried 2 differends AirPods2 and both are now working fine.


Have a nice day.

I’ve been having this same problem for about a year now and think I have finally found a solution.


My old AirPod pro gen1’s have always worked with my Samsung TV, but the gen2’s have exactly the same issue you have described. When they were first paired and connected the sound worked, but thereafter they would connect to the TV but no audio could be heard.


I have just had the same problem again, but after connecting them to the TV I used the volume control of the AirPods (not from TV remote) to increase volume, and the audio started working.


Hopefully this works for others - Please let me know if so!

SOLUTION: Delete Airpods PRO 2 from Samsung's TV bluetooth list ,re-pair it!

The problem lies with the "VOLUME" ,Airpods for some reason automatically put the VOLUME to 0

so the ONLY thing you have to do is swipe up with your finger on one of your Airpods in your ears ,keep doing it until the volume goes up then turn TV's volume up with the remote ***troller!


NOTE: Make sure both your TV and Airpods are up to date, just in case.!

SOLUTION: Delete your Airpods from your TV's bluetooth list and re-pair it!

The problem lies in Airpods PRO 2 Volume ,for some reason when connected they automatically lower the volume to 0 ! 

The ONLY thing you have to do when you connect your Airpods to your TV is SWIPE UP on one of your Airpods in your ears ,keep swiping until your start hearing something ,then you can adjust the volume through your remote controller!

AirPods Pro 2: No Sound with Samsung TV


Experiencing static or silence instead of sound when using your AirPods Pro 2 with a Samsung TV? The culprit could be Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) or Adaptive Transparency.


Here’s the fix:


  1. Connect your AirPods Pro 2 to your phone.
  2. Turn off Noise Cancellation and Adaptive Transparency.
  3. Reconnect your AirPods to the TV.


That’s it! Your AirPods should now play audio from the TV perfectly.


Alternative Solutions:


  • Disconnect and connect to TV.
  • Adjust the volume via the touch control feature on the stem of the AirPods.
  • Perform factory reset on AirPods.

Folks I fixed it no prob for the last six months


PCM mode is what you need to pick


I had this problem AirPod 2 not working w Bluetooth on Samsung TV very intermittent, sketchy or not working


for about seven months and then the Samsung authorized dealer. I bought the TV from told me to make sure the TV was in PCM audio mode


not auto mode


and I have not had a problem for two months leaving it in PCM audio mode.

AirPods pro 2nd gen did not connect to samsung tv

Had to disconnect the soundbar (sonos) to kind of get them to work

paired airpods

set digital output to pcm

then selected sound output airpods

Changing channel, pausing a movie causes the sound to disappear and you have to unpair and re-pair to get it going again.

in short its a compatibility issue - apple engineering doing substandard, sloppy work.

why has this not been fixed?

why are consumers not told that they will only work properly with an apple tv?

Annoying and too expensive to be so limited

Ok found the solution. Try this. So I have a Samsung S95c TV. I had the sound problem, my AirPod pro gen 2 were working, tried connecting some AirPods as well, even since Arctis headphones. No audio. Best solution. Delete all Bluetooth devices. Power down the connect box. Reconnect, power up tv and pair sound device. This is NOT an Apple issue. This works, totally.

Hey guys, so anybody not having an audio come through their AirPods when connected to a Samsung TV I accidentally fell on a quick fix. This is going to sound crazy, but mine used to connect normally and then all Sunday would connect with no audio by accident I touch the AirPod and it just seems that sometimes, it sends the volume all the way down just try to swipe up on your AirPod and turn the volume up and voilà I had audio again

This is a Samsung issue not an Apple issue. Brand new Samsung the frame TV purchased one month ago. Air pods worked perfectly until 2 days ago. Tried every suggestion on this board and nothing worked. Then tried to connect to my Bose mini sound link and had exact same issue. Samsung TV says it paired and connected, volume control on TV working and shows the TV controlling the volume of Bluetooth device but no sound whatsoever. Connected my $39.99 Google chromecast which I thought I wouldn't need anymore with a pricey brand new smart tv... AirPods connected beautifully and I now have sound. I guess I'll be contacting Samsung 🙄.
