I just got a pair of AirPods Pro Gen 2 yesterday for my husband’s birthday. We were all excited and tried connecting it to our Samsung Q65AB 55 TV and we got the AirPods connected but no sound. After googling and some trials and errors finally today we got the sound on the AirPods after connecting to the Samsung TV.


What I did was:

  1. Changed the Digital Output Audio Format of my Samsung TV from Auto to PCM. Go to your Samsung TV setting > Sound > Expert Setting > Digital Output Audio Format > change from auto to PCM
  2. Updated my iPhone 14 pro max IOS to 16.2
  3. Lastly connected the fully charged AirPods Pro gen 2 to my iPhone and got the AirPods firmware updated from 5A577 to 5A5B


Yes we got the sound on the TV but it was not perfect, the volume control on the AirPods wasn’t very well as compared to when connected to the iPhone.


You may want to try the above and good luck !!!

My AirPods Pro 1s work fine however my AirPods Pro 2s have this same issue (audio distorted after fast fwd, changing apps etc). This says to me that it's the Pro 2s that are the issue.


I do not have a soundbar connected to this TV so do not have the 'no sound' issue that others are reporting. I saw a "fix" that involves turning off noise cancellation on the headphones, however this wouldn't work for me as I'm using my headphones in a noisy gym.

I have had this same issue with my Samsung TV and have run the iphone/airpods updates, and still do not get sound using my AirPods pro 2 and my Samsung TV. It's a huge bummer since I have really like using my regular AirPods to watch TV and play games at night while my family is sleeping. Apple needs to fix this asap. It makes no sense why this issue exists unless apple is trying to force people to buy Apple TV's, which would be predatory...
