can anyone try this - Gen2 to Samsung TV
QAQ95,
I had the exact same problem, “no audio at all from AirPods Pro 2 but a successful connection to TV” and discovered this thread. My TV would show connection to the AirPods, but no sound, despite the headphone volume showing 50% on the TV. For me, a few posts within this thread led me to my resolution after a lot of self trial and error.
Although, I am connecting to a Phillips smart Tv, and not a Samsung model.Hopefully though, as my symptoms were identical to others here, the below summary of actions taken that may help others experiencing the same issue.
1) The first thing I noticed before researching was that when first connecting to the TV the AirPods would connect with the “ - Find my” suffix as part of the device name. I just assumed that was just what was being broadcast by the AirPods Pro 2 to a non Apple device when connecting to them. I think it is a separate transmission broadcast on a different frequency that overshadows the audio connection. Earlier in this thread it is mentioned that turning off the “Find my” setting in the AirPods settings and then reconnecting them to the TV helps. I did this, and yes I able to get the TV connected to the AirPods Pro without the “Find my” suffix.
I did this but still no sound! My TV volume was still showing 50% headphone volume.
2) Further on in this thread it’s mentioned about lowering the volume slider on the TV to zero and back up again to get the sound. So I tried this but still nothing.
3) Then, again mentioned further above in the thread was about the Airpod volume itself via the stem. I tried this by moving up slightly and heard something very low so I thought I’m onto something here! I then tried increasing the volume on the TV via the remote, and although it increased on the slider, it didn’t increase the volume in my ears and still very quiet sound! So I continued with the slider volume on the stem of the AirPod itself. I did it about 4 or 5 times then got to a significantly increased volume. I then had to turn down the TV slider volume as it was too loud!! My TV goes to 60, and I’ve got in on 15, so only 25% volume which is adequate. AirPods volume is at maximum on the stem.
It appears that the Airpod volume defaults to zero when connected to a non Apple device, I assume for safety reasons. It is also independently adjustable from the TV headphone volume itself, i.e. both the AirPods and the TV volume can be adjusted to adjust overall headphone volume (in my case at least with my TV).
It has worked flawlessly for me since, no drops or deterioration, I can pause and restart play with audio fine, I can change sources without issue.
In summary do the following:-
1) Disable “Find my” setting to ensure correct device pairs to TV. Name shown should match name in Airpod settings on iPhone.
2) Ensure TV headphone audio volume is above Zero.
3) Increase the Airpod volume slider on the stem by sliding upwards a few times. Then adjust TV slider to suit.
I would like to say a big thanks to the other contributors on this thread that led me to work out what was going on in my individual case. Without them I would not have solved this! I can now enjoy the football in bed without disturbing my wife!
Hope this helps at least one other person with their issues. Good luck.
Brand new AirPods Pro 2 arrived yesterday.
Connected to my 2023 Samsung Frame Tv, they connected fine and worked for about 13 mins.
After 13 mins I noticed a crackling/choppy sound on them. Put them back in case for a minutes reconnected sounded fine.
Today used them with YouTube app on the tv. If I fast forward or scroll through a video the sound goes choppy and then drops. Tv says they are still connected though. Have tried volume on the stalks etc.
AirPods are on latest firmware (6B34)
frame tv is also on latest firmware.
So looks like over 2 years this issue is on going?
Should I give up and return now while I can?
Very disappointed in Apple
There are two issues here:
As before, Airpod Pro 1st gen works fine, 2nd gen has issues.
Cheers,

Hello
Does it still work when you change channel or from one YouTubeTV To Netflix??
Have same issue with Samsung NU8005. It appear that another forum some doesn't have this issue - so wondering if issue is on airpod or on tv, which one should I return :). Or if it in specific tv model that have issues.
Exactly my experience as well! No matter what you try, no volume at all from Airpods Pro 2. Connects quickly and shows that you are connected when you touch the volume on the Samsung remote but no volume no matter what you try. Yet my Airpod Max works perfectly every time!
I urge you all to reference my case number 101823815654 and insist you are also compensated.
I was sent an Apple 4K with ethernet free as an apology.
However it doesn't fix my problem as I still can't use AirPods with PS5 or a movie playing off a thumb drive in the TV.
I also have a letter from the Store authorising a return from the store I Bought the AirPods from as they at least agreed that they are not acceptable to me and not 'fit for purpose'.
I have the similar issue.
when watching TV and first connected is Ok, but when change the channel the audio drops, but shows as connected.
I have tried everything from factory reset and do forget the device on Tv
I am sorry, I should have waited to post the reply. When I disconnected and reconected them they started to fail again if the sound stops by switching apps or whatever. But when I disabled Anynet+ they worked correctly for the first time so I thought it was the solution. And in my case Airpods 3 work flawlessly, I only have issues with Airpods Pro Gen 2 too
Got this issue too. But a bit different. Mine do connect and play Audio if I alreade have some form of audio playing. At the moment that the audio stops playing for a ms (for example when skipping the intro on a Netflix series) the sounds stops playing while the AirPods Pro 2 stay connected. Never had this issue with my aipords pro 1. Think I’ll return them and continue using my AirPods Pro one.
I think I found the (disappointing) reason why this is occurring:
I just spoke with Samsung support. As my Q90 TV has Bluetooth Version 5.2 and the Apple AirPods Pro 2 have Bluetooth Version 5.3, it will not work seamlessly as it does for Apple AirPods Pro 1, which has a Bluetooth Version 5.0.
Not correct according to spec 5.3 should be compatible with all BT LE back to 4.2 devices this means that apple has messed up their 5.3 drivers etc
think about it it works fine with Apple TV devices that are 5.0, it works fine with iPhones that are as well.
I am having the same or a similar issue. I’ve been able to easily use my first generation AirPods Pro with my Samsung Q80T. However, I recently got a pair of second generation AirPods Pro, and they are not working well at all with the same tv. I can get them to connect, and the sound is okay for the first few minutes, but then it gets terribly choppy and I end up not being able to hear anything. If I switch to the tv speaker or sound bar then back to the AirPods it will work again for a minute, but then it does the same thing. I’ve tried resetting and disconnecting the AirPods and making sure the tv is updated.
I also have experienced the same problem with my Samsung Tv. My old AirPods 1st generation work fine with my TV. I purchased the new AirPods Pro 2 in December 2023 and returned the a week later. The AirPods would connect fine with the TV but if I paused the program or changed the station they would disconnect. All I could hear was a distorted noise. In order to reconnect, I’d have to go through the reconnect process again and again. I called Apple support and was told to send them in for a possible repair. After reviewing the posts, I realized it’s not the TV. I did have the last software update on the AirPod Pro 2’s.
Hello All!
1st of all it's NOT Samsung issue as I have used 3 other headphones (2 Beats Studio3 and 1 third party headphones) and all smooth as it should be. My QLED TV is 2023 model so latest model. It's Apple, why does it have to be always it only works with Apple devices?!?!? So frustrated with everything you have to do every 5 mins, just not worth it. Thank you all for providing various "temp" fix but it's still temp fix Apple. I am changing headphones to something else with ANC and returning this Airpods 4 brand new I just got last week. Not worth messing around for something simple as Bluetooth listening! Cmon!
