AirPods Pro 2 YouTube playback issues

I have the exact same issue too.

it would seem it has something to do with head tracking, turn that off and see how you go.

Hello mazyar128,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We see you have some issues with your AirPods and the video pausing, and we'd like to help. The following link can help with resetting your AirPods, as this may help with the issue you're seeing: How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro - Apple Support

This could help with the video pausing on your AirPods. Does this happen with anything you use your AirPods with?

Let us know, and we'll go from there.

Regards.

"AirPods Pro 2 YouTube playback issues: I bought the new AirPods Pro second generation a few days ago. Since then most times when I try to watch you tube with the pods connected the video repeatedly stops, almost as if I had a poor internet connection. If I put away the pods problem solved"

I have the same issue with YouTube. I followed the steps to reset and paired them again with my phone. The issue persists. This only happens with the YouTube app.

ios version 16.0.2

airpods pro 2 version : 5A377, case: 3.64.0

Youtube app version: 17.39.5

I’m experiencing same issue with my brand new air pods pro 2nd gen. I’ve tried resetting them multiple times with no resolution. My YouTube videos constantly freeze and issue is to the point where I cannot watch.

likewise, I have the same issue with YouTube. I have reset my AirPods Pro 2. The problem still persists. I’m using the latest iOS 16 and iPhone 11 Pro.

Please refer to the thread

My AirPods Pro 2nd gen has issues with fi… - Apple Community

1. Turn off the spatial sound itself. Relevant to spatial audio function regardless of head tracking.

2. This is a bug that does not occur in Youtube Music.

3. Hardware itself is no problem. I checked it directly with Apple Genius.

3.1. When you want to know if there is a hardware problem, check...

a. Put it in ambient sound mode.

b. Put the earbuds in your ears and cover them slightly with the pinna.

c. Never apply pressure to cover. If you hear an annoying beep at that time, the hardware is defective. (This is the same way to screen for defects in AirPods Pro 1st generation manufactured before October 2020)

I found the flaw described in the 2nd generation of my AirPods Pro and got it replaced at Best Buy.

I am having this issue as well on my iPhone 14 pro max with Airpods Pro 2. However this is not present for the 1st generation Airpods
