AirPods 2nd gen left and right pause tap aren’t working

Hi there Michaelchucks,

If you're not getting the response you expect when trying to pause music from your AirPods, double-check your AirPods settings to see what action is set to be performed. The following steps explain how:

Change what the double tap does

You can change the action performed when you double-tap your AirPods.

1: Wear your AirPods, and make sure they’re connected to your device.

2: Do one of the following:

• On iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings , then tap the name of your AirPods near the top of the screen.

• On Mac: Choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click the name of your AirPods in the sidebar (you may need to scroll down).

3: Choose Left or Right, then choose the action you want performed every time you double-tap one of your AirPods.

Change settings for AirPods (1st and 2nd generation)

We hope this helps!
