AirPods Max Connect But Aren't Recognized as Audio Device

As the title suggests, I've been having issues with getting my Windows 10 PC to recognize my AirPods Max as a playback device. They will connect, but will not be shown under any audio menus (Sound Control Panel, Device Manager, Sound Devices, etc.). I've tried various fixes online including:

  • Reinstalling Windows
  • Playing with Bluetooth in Services
  • Disabling/reinstalling drivers
  • AirPods Max software update
  • Connecting them to another device (Windows 11 laptop, works perfectly fine)
  • Connecting other devices

all to no avail. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.
