Mic stops working seemingly at random

I use my AirPods Max for calls pretty often but when they're connected to my MacBook I've noticed that the Mic can sometimes just not work when I join calls. Usually the only fix is to restart my MacBook. Has anyone had this happen to them and are there any suggestions to remedy it?

Hi SecondSense,

Let's go ahead and reset the AirPods Max which can help:


"To restart or reset your AirPods Max:

  • First, charge them for a few minutes.
  • If you're experiencing issues with your AirPods Max, you can restart them. Press and hold the noise control button and the Digital Crown until the LED flashes amber.
  • You can also reset AirPods Max to factory settings. Press and hold the noise control button and the Digital Crown for 15 seconds, until the LED flashes amber, then white.
  • After you reset your AirPods Max, you can connect them to your iOS or iPadOS device, or connect them to your Mac or other device.

AirPods Max can be associated with one Apple ID. If you want to use AirPods Max that someone else has used, they need to first remove them from their Apple ID.
