Airpods not connecting to any devices

my airpods won’t connect to any apple/windows/android devices, it does not show on any bluetooth list on the mentioned devices. i’ve followed every steps on apple support pages about how to reset/connect the airpods to no results. I tried using iPhone XR, iPhone 13 pro, and MacBook m1 pro to search for the AirPods but found no luck. There is one thing that I suspect, every time I reset the AirPods, there is a device named ‘Realtek Bluetooth’ show up. Could the AirPods accidentally renamed to this and cause this problem? It’s shown on my MacBook Pro as a monitor device, I don’t have any Realtek device/monitor in the house, and i’m not within the distance of other Bluetooth devices from my neighbours. I really need the help from you guys, let’s solve this

No this is not possible, Realtek bluetooth is most likely from a windows machine, as the drivers for many windows machines are produced by Realtek

IF a reset of the AirPods did not work you might need to set up your airpods for hardware service, please Contact - Official Apple Support

I have gone to a garden where there is no device within the distance of 10 metres radius other than the iphone and the airpods. I turned on the bluetooth of the iphone, then i opened the lid of the airpods, then suddenly a device called Realtek bluetooth showed up again. I clicked the device, it showed some 6 digit code to pair, i clicked to pair, and then the device was gone from the device list. It happens every time everywhere, and I am not telling lies here mate, the problem really occurs, i don’t want to waste my time if it’s not worth trying, i don’t have to waste your time either, but the problem is real.
