Airpods Disconnecting Facetime

Facetime on Macbook stops responding when 3rd Gen Airpods disconnect or die, instead of switching the audio to my Macbook speakers. I have restarted my laptop countless times hoping to fix this issue to no avail. I have restarted my Airpods and reconnected them to resolve the issue to no avail. I have even updated my Macbook to Sonoma 14.5 since the issue started, and I still have the same problem.
